Mortality and the Eternal Decree in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 24, Poem 20)

This concept explores the interconnected themes of inevitable mortality and the eternal decree as presented in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh, Chapter 24, Poem 20. The poem contrasts the continuous, dynamic revolving of the celestial spheres with the static, inescapable reality of human beings turning their faces to the 'wall of the grave' (lahad). It emphasizes that all countless creations are ultimately brought to dust, fulfilling an eternal judgment established from pre-eternity (azal).
