What Is The Message Of Hayy Ibn Yaqzan

In his novel, The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini depicts his homeland Afghanistan as a host to many different cultures and classes, such as Pashtun and Hazara, Sunni and Shiite, with this dichotomy of beliefs and attributes being powerful enough to shape diverse, sometimes negative relationships amongst the characters of the novel and their behavior to each other, as well as establish that individual’s identity. Each person interprets the impact of the role of belief and social status differently, while all living in the same setting, adding to their complexity and depth as a character in the novel with many different figures tied together by the same geographical and cultural conditions.

The story focuses on the events that brought the main character to face his disconnect of reality. Love plays a distinct role in the boy’s delusion of reality, which Joyce relays from the beginning of the story.

Mevlana Jalal al- Din Rumi is one of the most influential Islamic mystics of all times. It is no surprise that even seven hundred years after his death; he remains to be the best selling poet in North America. His poetry reflects the teachings of Islam and his opinions on various matters such as faith, prayer, love, free will etc. are assembled in a book called “The signs of the Unseen”. Occasionally, commentators dissociate Rumi poetry’s from Islam but the fact is that Rumi’s entire writings are inspired from the Quran and sayings of Prophet (PBUH) and represent the essence of Islam.

The story “Araby” as told by James Joyce is about a young boy that is fascinated with the girl across the street. But deeper down the story is about a very lonely boy lusting for her love and affection. Throughout the story, we see how the frustration of first love, isolation and high expectations breaks the main character emotionally and physically. James Joyce uses the first-person viewpoint to tell this story which helps influence the plot, characterization, themes, and understanding of the main character.

Although "Araby" is a fairly short story, author James Joyce does a remarkable job of discussing some very deep issues within it. On the surface it appears to be a story of a boy's trip to the market to get a gift for the girl he has a crush on. Yet deeper down it is about a lonely boy who makes a pilgrimage to an eastern-styled bazaar in hopes that it will somehow alleviate his miserable life. James Joyce's uses the boy in "Araby" to expose a story of isolation and lack of control. These themes of alienation and control are ultimately linked because it will be seen that the source of the boy's emotional distance is his lack of control over his life.

The region of the Middle East and its inhabitants have always been a wonder to the Europeans, dating back to the years before the advent of Islam and the years following the Arab conquest.

The Bedouins became the foundational symbol of Arab nationhood identity (Hoyland, 2001). They became the nationhood identity through their significant oral transmitted poetry and written Arabic literature, which became the basis and core language and humanity of Islam (Hoyland, 2001).

In Ibn Tufayl's Hayy Ibn Yaqzan, he tells the story of how Hayy grew up and lived in isolation on an island and how he came to discover the existence of God independently through philosophical thought and observation. Tufayl then intertwines Hayy's religious narrative with Absal's, a conventional religious follower who learns about religion through testimony. When Absal introduces Hayy to his city, they become disillusioned with the general populace's indifference to the ecstatic experience of encountering God and Truth and eventually decide to leave the city to attain self-enlightenment through asceticism on the island. This essay will thus argue that while the episode can be interpreted as Tufayl's implicit rejection of traditional religion, the its larger

argue about similarities and differences of both the famous Islamic book “Hayy Ibn Yaqzan” and the popular film “Swiss Army Man”. The plot of the book “Hayy Ibn Yaqzan” tells us about the boy whom the doe found and considered him as her own fawn. From this time, Yaqzan started to live on the desert island and got used to everything there. One of the main ideas of this book demonstrates the misunderstandings of religion; people understand it by the way they want to. In addition, the other idea shows the interaction of the person with the society and the best way to join it.

The movie points to the fact that people sometimes make wrong decisions and prefer to run from them neither then to solve problems. Thus, “Hayy Ibn Yaqzan” and “Swiss Army Man” have the strong
