The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Al-Ma'arri's religious beliefs and philosophical worldview have been the subject of extensive historical and modern academic debate.
- While his critical poetry led detractors and early Western scholars to characterize him as a deist, freethinker, or one of the "foremost atheists" of his time, this categorization is highly disputed by other scholars and by Al-Ma'arri's own subsequent writings.
- In his self-defensive treatise Zajr al-Nabeh, al-Ma'arri explicitly affirmed his orthodox Islamic faith, including his belief in the Day of Judgment, and sought refuge in God from claims that his poetry was proof of atheism.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Al-Ma'arri article was read about 71,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 79: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
