Attar's Catalog of Divine Manifestation in Asrar Nameh, Section 5

In Section 5 of Farid al-Din Attar's Asrar Nameh, the poet enumerates the vast array of creations—ranging from the physical heavens, stars, and seas to the spiritual realms of the pen, tablet, and angels. This comprehensive catalog serves to illustrate that every atom and drop in the universe, whether hidden or manifest, is a direct reflection of the Creator's existence. By systematically listing pairs of opposites and spanning from East to West, Attar emphasizes the Sufi theme that nothing in existence lies outside the scope of divine manifestation and power.
