Both Sanai's Hadiqat al-Haqiqah and Attar's Elahi Nameh feature allegories involving kings and astrology to critique human reliance on the stars, though they emphasize different spiritual lessons. Sanai's 'Allegory of the Ignorant Astrologer' focuses on human fraudulence and delusion, satirizing a charlatan who claims cosmic foresight yet remains blind to his own immediate vulnerability. In contrast, Attar's 'Tale of the Astrologer King' highlights the absolute inescapability of divine decree; the king uses his astrological knowledge to foresee danger, but his very attempt to outsmart fate (by hiding in a sealed room) ironically causes his own demise. Together, these stories illustrate classical Persian literature's dual critique of astrology: it is either a deceitful pretense of the ignorant (Sanai) or entirely futile against the will of God (Attar).
