Within a Sufi framework held by Al-Attar's granddaughter, the events of this novel take place in the critical period that Egypt is experiencing before the emergence of the Fatimid state and in its beginnings. It depicts the social situation of the Egyptian people at that time, and the political conflicts hidden under the cloak of religion. In "The Vision of the Eye," Mustafa Moussa weaves two parallel stories that go side by side, and are intertwined with a third heritage story narrated by "Ablaa" over many years. Fates intersect, destinies are drawn, and the facts of a conflict that will last forever are revealed.
