In Attar's Elahi Nameh, the 'Tale of Iblis' portrays Iblis welcoming the divine curse as a cherished treasure. Iblis explains that the curse is like an arrow shot by the King (God) at a target, but before the arrow is released, the King must first look toward the target. For Iblis, this initial gaze of the King signifies a profound moment of divine attention and connection, making even the curse of banishment a valuable sign of the Creator's regard rather than mere rejection.
