I once asked a very good friend of mine who was Javanese and a devout Muslim if he could explain Lam Alif to me. He told me that to even get a beginning of understanding I would need to spend seven lifetimes in study of Al Quran in order to prepare me for the next seven lifetimes of spiritual practice, only after this might I recognise the way to understanding.

He warned me that anybody who claimed to understand Lam Alif was not to be believed.

Lam Alif is actually two letters that when placed together form a singularity.

My friend was a very spiritual man and enjoyed speaking in ways that nobody could understand.
