In Farid al-Din Attar's 'The Tale of the Moon and Its Jealousy of the Sun' from the Elahi Nameh, the moon's desire for the sun to be eternally eclipsed illustrates the Sufi concept of profound jealousy or protective zeal (ghayrat) in divine love. The lover becomes so fiercely possessive of the Beloved's absolute beauty that they cannot bear the thought of anyone else—or even their own eyes—gazing upon it. This extreme jealousy highlights a state where the lover seeks to entirely conceal the beloved from the world, reflecting the overwhelming and consuming nature of mystical passion.
