In Attar's Elahi Nameh, Majnun's unexpected reaction of praising God upon hearing of Layla's death illustrates the extreme nature of his possessive love and jealousy. He rejoices because her death ensures that no rival or 'ill-wisher' can ever possess her or gaze upon her beauty, just as he was denied that privilege. This narrative reflects a specific manifestation of obsessive devotion, where the lover prefers the absolute inaccessibility of the beloved over the possibility of sharing her with the world.
