More than a thousand years have passed since the departure of "Abi Al -Ala Al -Maari", and the controversy around it continues to this day. Between his description of the infidel and his description of the thinker, opinions ranged around him. The survival of ideas and the immortality of their owners is closely related to the effect they leave; Every stone is thrown into the static water, which leaves a swirl around it from the ideas that are related to it and build on it, whether with its criticism or its founding on it. It is not true that the "Sheikh of Al -Ma`ra" did not mean everything that is raised around it; It was wise in a place, until he wrote ideas that did not see the light, including what remained in his chest and did not go out to the public. Perhaps that was what made the Sheikh a substance of the wide controversy, and it was possible that part of this mystery would fade if we received his full words during his life. Despite all of this, "Abu Al -Ala" and his idea remain a prominent sign in the history of the development of Arab philosophy and thought.
