In Attar of Nishapur's Elahi Nameh, the tale of the man who flees from the gaze of Azrael (the Angel of Death) in Solomon's court to India, only to meet his death there, serves as a classic Sufi allegory on the inevitability of death and divine decree (Qada). The narrative illustrates that physical escape or geographic flight from mortality is futile, as human destiny is governed by divine command rather than personal volition. The story prompts the seeker to shift focus from trying to escape physical death to preparing the soul spiritually for the inevitable meeting with the divine.
