Abu al-Ala al-Ma'arri, also known by his Latin name Abulola Moarrensis, was an Arab philosopher, poet, and writer from Ma'arrat al-Nu'man, Emirate of Aleppo. Because of his antireligious worldview, he is known as one of the "foremost atheists" of his time", although his worldview was closer to deism. However, in his defensive treatise Zajr al-Nabeh —a manuscript edited and published in 1965—al-Ma'arri explicitly identified himself as a faithful Muslim and systematically refuted the accusations of heresy leveled against him by his contemporaries. In the text, he seeks refuge in God from claims that his poetry is a proof of atheism. Furthermore, he clarifies his verses to strictly affirm his orthodox belief in the Day of Judgment and the afterlife.
