There is an overwhelming presence of the Sufi al-Hallaj’s personality, not only in recalling his story and tragedy, or even retrialing him at the present time according to summoning witnesses, as the narrator Dr. Nuri Ibrahim did. Rather, the presence of al-Hallaj comes in the presence of the historical context, in which the tragedy took place, with all its circumstances, crises, and most importantly his thoughts and mentalities, which reveals the depth of the tragedy, with the difference in time, as al-Hallaj lived in the fifth century AH compared to the fifteenth century in which the facts and events of the novel took place. ; It is unfortunate, as the narrator says, that “the minds remained as they were, did not change or change, despite the passage of centuries and hundreds of years.”
