In Attar's Elahi Nameh, the encounter between Ibrahim Adham and Khidr revolves around the metaphor of the royal palace as a caravanserai (a roadside inn). Khidr, appearing as a camel driver, deliberately questions the nature of Ibrahim's majestic palace, insisting it is merely a temporary resting place. By asking Ibrahim who occupied the throne before him and who will occupy it after, Khidr highlights the transient, ephemeral nature of worldly power and earthly life. This interaction serves to dismantle the illusion of permanence, illustrating the Sufi theme of renouncing worldly attachments in favor of seeking eternal spiritual truth.
