In this section of Farid al-Din Attar's Mosibat Nameh, the story of the king and the dust sifter illustrates the spiritual concept of combining diligent effort with absolute reliance on God (tawakkul). The dust sifter completes his work early at dawn and submits the outcome to God, declaring that he has fulfilled his duty. The king, hearing this sincere expression of faith and surrender, rewards him, symbolizing how sincere human striving combined with trust in divine providence is met with unexpected grace and abundance.
