Beschreibung

A small Arab family made up of a father‭, ‬his two sons‭, ‬and his nephew‭, ‬all make one last stop at an island in the Indian Ocean at the end of their summer vacation‭. ‬
The family was surprised to find a large statue of a book in the middle of the island‭, ‬engraved in Arabic with the name of the famous story‭ ‬“Hayy Bin Yaqdhan‭,‬”‭ ‬written by Arab philosopher Ibn Tufayl in the sixth century AH‭ ‬–‭ ‬or twelfth century AD‭. ‬The book tells the story of a young man named Hayy Bin Yaqdhan who grew up on a deserted island all alone‭, ‬with nobody but the animals around him‭. ‬The book follows Hayy as he embarks on a journey of exploration and tells us how‭, ‬through observation and reason alone‭, ‬he was able to discover the existence of Allah the Almighty‭. ‬
But what‭, ‬exactly‭, ‬is the secret behind this island‭? ‬Why is there a statue of an Arabic book in the middle of an island in the Indian Ocean‭? ‬What story does this book tell‭? ‬How does Hayy come to discover Allah the Almighty‭? ‬And how does this story relate to the likes of Tarzan‭, ‬Mowgli‭, ‬or even Robinson Crusoe‭? ‬
This is what the pages of the book you now hold in your hands tells us through an exciting journey featuring the Arab family‭, ‬Hayy Bin Yaqdhan‭, ‬and his friend Absal‭. ‬
