004 - History of Hai Ebn Yokdhan ss 27-42

Dive into the fascinating tale of Ḥayy ibn Yaqẓān, a young boy raised in isolation on a remote island in the Indies, nurtured by an antelope that became his guardian. As he takes his first steps and mimics the sounds of the wildlife around him, Ḥayy learns to communicate with the creatures and adapt to his environment. Crafting his own clothes and shoes from animal skins, he studies the stars and masters the art of astrology. Through his relentless curiosity and keen observations, he gains profound insights into natural science, philosophy, and spirituality, ultimately concluding the existence of a great creator behind the universe. Living a humble life as a Sufi, he abstains from meat and dedicates himself to knowledge. At the age of 30, he encounters another human for the first time, and by 49, he is prepared to share the wisdom he has accumulated throughout his extraordinary journey.
