- Editorial notes
- The text is presented in the edition of Naquib al-Attas, except that:
- • diacritics on Arabic words used in a Malay context have been omitted, and
- • some old spellings have modernized.
- Al-Rânîrî wrote this text as a refutation of the teachings of Hamzah Fansûrî, which he regarded as heretical. The charges made by al-Rânîrî against these deviant beliefs are summarised by Naquib al-Attas under five heads:
- 1. That they identify God, the world and man.
- 2. That they see God's essence as completely immanent in the world.
- 3. That they believe that God is Simple Being.
- 4. That they believe the Qur´an to be created.
- 5. That they believe in the eternity of the world.
- The manuscript contains a few short marginal glosses and commentary. These are anchored in the manuscript text using numbers written above the line. In the MCP version, these marginal comments are treated as part of the text, identified by being enclosed in double braces « ». Please note that this will unavoidably affect proximity searches.
