Though general guidance has its place,
For debates and complex faith,
It can’t always be applied,
To the masses, it may not relate.
The path out of complexity,
Was found long ago,
From early Ash’arism to later,
Sufi metaphysics did grow.
Professor al-Attas shows the way,
To metaphysics so profound.
In the discourse of Kalam,
Sufi truths are found.
Imam Ash’ari, closest to,
Sufi metaphysics in his time.
Recognizing this trajectory,
We find the path so fine.
The discourse of Kalam,
Leads to Sufi metaphysics’ light.
Professor al-Attas’ ultimate view,
Ru’yat al-Islam li al-Wujud in sight.
Professor al-Attas shows the way,
To metaphysics so profound.
In the discourse of Kalam,
Sufi truths are found.
Read from start to end,
Avoid revisionist trends.
Don’t tarnish Sufism’s name,
Let its wisdom transcend.
Professor al-Attas shows the way,
To metaphysics so profound.
In the discourse of Kalam,
Sufi truths are found.
In modern times, his vision stands,
The ultimate summary,
Not just human thought,
But Islam’s true reality.
Expand the framework,
Of Ru’yat al-Islam li al-Wujud,
Reject false revisionism,
Embrace al-Attas’ truth.
