In Section 3 of Sanai's Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, the story of Luqman's narrow hut serves as an allegory for the temporary nature of human earthly existence.

Key Themes of the Allegory

• The Narrow Hut: Represents the physical body or the mortal world itself, which is cramped and restrictive compared to the spiritual realm.
• The Meddlesome Questioner: Represents the worldly mindset that values material comfort and questions why one would choose restriction.
• Luqman's Response: Highlights the Sufi attitude of detachment (zuhd). Since earthly life is transient, building a grand material dwelling is futile.
• The Bridge and the Inn: Luqman compares his situation to a traveler crossing a bridge or staying temporarily in a wayside inn, reinforcing the theme of transience.
