Abu al-Ala al-Maari was an influential Arab philosopher, poet, and critic from the 10th to 11th century, known for his deep skepticism and reflections on existence and the human condition. He is often recognized for his poignant and sometimes cynical views on life, encapsulated in his desire for the phrase, "This is my father's crime against me, but I have committed none against anyone," to be inscribed on his tomb.
