In Attar's Elahi Nameh, the 'Tale of Iblis and His Lamentation' portrays the fallen angel weeping tears of blood because humans constantly use him as a scapegoat. Iblis complains that humans willingly refuse to obey God, yet they unjustly place the blame for their own sinful choices on his neck. This narrative emphasizes personal accountability and self-deception, illustrating that while Iblis is disgraced (his 'cloak is black'), humans actively choose disobedience and unfairly attribute their inherent moral failings solely to his temptation.
