May I suggest something along this line

Use idea or lore from the Islamic that are interesting and usable as a a reference point in the fiction. EG, A kid discovered a jewel and manifest magical power which works in the form of imagination or recall of stories, eg, when running from monster after the said jewel, her path was blocked by water spell in the form of tsunami that rushes upon the kid, kids recalls the story of a certain prophet parting the red sea, thus manifesting the power to split the tsunami in half and escaping.

Of course. this is just an idea...
