The Immutability of the Eternal Decree in Attar's Mokhtar Nameh (Chapter 21, Poem 30)

This concept explores the absolute immutability of divine predestination as depicted in Chapter 21, Poem 30 of Attar's Mokhtar Nameh. The poem contrasts human aimlessness and chaotic efforts with the steadfastness of the 'eternal decree' (حکم ازلی). It asserts that even if both worlds were to become as tangled as a tress, the preordained divine will remains unchanged, down to a single hair. This reflects a central philosophical theme of submission to an unalterable destiny.
