This narrative unfurls the life of Hayy Ibn Yokdhan, a boy mysteriously cast adrift on an island, where he grows and survives in solitude, nurturing an innate quest for knowledge and understanding. As Hayy evolves, he grapples with existential questions regarding nature, divinity, and the essence of the soul, making profound philosophical discoveries along the way. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Hayy Ibn Yokdhan, the son of a princess, who is abandoned at birth and finds solace in a nurturing Roe on a deserted island. As he matures, he becomes increasingly aware of his surroundings, crafting tools for survival and engaging in self-reflection. The motif of solitude leads him to contemplate deep philosophical concepts including creation, existence, and the nature of the divine through observation and introspection. His journey explores both the physical realities of life and the metaphysical inquiries of the soul, laying the groundwork for a philosophical discourse that upon his later encounter with Asal, intertwines his insights with the religious teachings Asal represents.
