| Notes: | This text outlines Sufi order teachings about the levels of consciousness and gives a symbolic interpretation of the prayer ritual. It tells about the reward that will be gained by pious Muslims in the hereafter, where they will live happily forever in heaven. The writer of the poem is apparently its author rather than a copyist because in stanza 121 he mentions mengarang (composing) this poem. Apparently, he is an ulama (scholar of Islam) in Palembang (stanza 123:4). (Suryadi, 2009: 73). |
