In Jami's Haft Awrang (specifically the Subhat al-Abrar), Section 49 introduces a profound theological dilemma regarding the origin of human spiritual differences. The slave asks why there is a disparity in latent aptitude (isti'dad) and destiny (being fortunate vs. unfortunate) if all existence flows from the King's bounty. By pleading for the King to look with grace and turn the unfortunate (mudbir) into the fortunate (muqbil), the passage highlights the philosophical tension in Islamic mysticism between predetermined spiritual receptivity (which is traditionally seen as uncreated or non-instituted) and the hope for divine intervention and transformation.
