The Innate Journey of Knowing God and His Graces in Hayy Ibn Yaqzan’s Novel

The innate journey of knowing God is through the mind itself, without the help of any other human being. This study examines the innate journey of knowing God and His graces through an analysis of the novel Hayy Ibn Yaqzan by Ibn Tufail. This fact can be seen in how the novel’s character, Ibn Yaqzan, is able to distinguish himself from the natural animal existence surrounding him, whereby his levels of awareness rise from sensory perception through contacting and dealing with things to mental awareness through mental consideration. According to this concept, in this case, we find a person who is not connected to society and does not grow up in a social environment. The development and improvement of Ibn Yaqzan’s mind and his senses, the improvement of his methods in dealing with others, and his acquiring civilised and cultural characteristics show that he is a primitive person who has not reached a stage of complete humanity. The main hypothesis of this research paper is that anyone can discover God by himself/herself and that the human soul has the ability to realise its value and develop an awareness of its difference and distinction. It demonstrates that solitude is required for the exercise of this awareness. Moreover, it shows that man is capable of acquiring all human virtues without necessarily being a part of society.

Stages of development of Arabic ( Andalusian literature) literature in Spain

Centers of Arabic culture and literature of the Middle Ages were established in Spain. This is related to the Arab expansion in the Iberian Peninsula, which lasted for almost eight centuries. During this time, the Arabs together with the Berbers, as well as the Arabized local Visigoths, were able to spread the Arabic language and literature in Andalusia. In Spain, centers of Arab culture and literature of the Middle Ages were created. From the eighth century, when the Arabs settled in Spain, the area of Arab culture expanded. Cordova, Granada, Almeria, Valencia and others became its centers in Andalusia (Arabic Spain). In Andalusian literature of the 8th-10th centuries. classical currents prevailed, in which the new style invaded. Prominent representatives of the poetry of this era are Al-Ghazali, Ibn Abd Rabihi, Ibn Hani, Ibn Daraj, Ibn Hazmi. In the Andalusian literature of the eleventh century, local color, original themes and poetic types were established. The rise of Andalusian poetry was soon followed by a decline. Ibn Zaydun, Ibn Abdun, Ibn Hafaja worked in this era.  An important event was the emergence of the original forms of strophic poetry, Muvashshahi and Zajal. From Andalusia it spread to all Arab countries. In turn, he influenced the development of early Provençal poetry. Ibn Kuzman is the greatest representative of the Zajal genre. Ibn Hazm, the author of the seminal treatise "The Dove's Necklace", stands out in prose. It is worth noting the mystic Ibn Tufail, the author of the allegorical philosophical story "Hay Ibn Yaqzan". Since the twelfth century, the Sufi direction has been important in Arab culture, whose outstanding representative is the Andalusian poet and philosopher Ibn al-Arab. He developed Sufi symbolism. Thus, three periods of the development of Arabic literature in Spain are distinguished. The earliest samples of Andalusian literature date from the second half of the eighth century. Thus, the most common genre of poetry is vasfi. It was in the Andalusian literature that strophic poetry - muwashshahi was formed in the ninth century.

Pendidikan Tasawuf Ibnu Thufail dalam Novel Hayy bin Yaqdzan

<p>Self-experience and the state of the soul of all people will give rise to expressions, like Ibn Tufail who expressed it through fictional prose (novel). It is said that a baby is left alone in the forest and then raised by a female deer; he has noble morals and can arrive at the meaning of Allah even though not everyone can feel it. Departing from that, this research tries to classify the values of Sufism teaching and the process of planting Sufism teaching education contained therein by research based on library research (literature study) and using a semiotic reading analysis system. The results of this study indicate that there are thirteen maqomats and maqomats will increase if they are always reviewed by looking at the signs of His power. In addition, his Sufism is classified as philosophical Sufism, a concept of Sufism that uses a ratio approach.</p>

تقنيات السرد في قصة حي بن يقظان لابن طفيل

Believing in our Arab heritage that our Arab heritage needs a second reading that shows its creativity and originality, we chose the story of Hayy Bin Yaqzan, which is considered one of the important literary texts in Andalusia, and many scholars considered it a message that others promised to be a story, and for the purpose of proving that it is a message or a story, we chose to apply narration techniques to it And the other thing is to prove that the stories of ancient Arab literature contain all the elements of narration that Western literature has talked about, meaning that our literature and our writers know these techniques, even if they are without theorizing them, as the West did. The research is divided into several axes: Who is Ibn Tufail? - What is the neighborhood of Bin Yaqzan? What is the purpose of the story and the scholars' opinions about it? - The elements of narration in the story of Hayy bin Yaqzan, which we gave a brief discussion of the meaning of narration and its elements in general and its elements in the story of Hayy bin Yaqzan in particular, and we have dealt with the elements of narration from an event, character, time and place in it, dialogue, style, description and conflict. We support what Muhammad Rajab Bayoumi said in his book (Andalusian Literature: Between Influence and Influence, p.137) "The story of Hayy Bin Yaqzan did not take its full share of analysis and clarification." In conclusion, we hope that we have succeeded in presenting a comprehensive summary of our topic, and that it be in the service of our Arabic literature and scholars.

مکانه العقل عند فلاسفة المغرب ( ابن باجة وابن طفیل نموذجاً )

يوضح هذا البحث مکانة العقل عند ابن باجة وابن طفيل، ويبين أن کليهما قد أشادا بالعقل، ورفع من قيمته وقدرته في الوصول إلى اليقين. فنجد أن ابن باجة قد جعل العقل هو العنصر الحاسم في فلسفته، وذلک واضح من خلال عرضي لفلسفته في النفس، والأخلاق، والمعرفة، والسعادة، واللذة، والاتصال. فابن باجة يرکز على أن النفس العاقلة هي أفضل وأشرف أنواع النفوس. والأخلاق عنده مبنية على أساس عقلي، ومصدر الإلزام الخلقي عنده مصدر عقلي، والمعرفة الصحيحة إنما تکون عن طريق العقل، والسعادة الحقيقية إنما تنال بالعقل، واللذات الحقيقة هي اللذات العقلية، والاتصال يکون عن طريق التدرج من المحسوسات إلى المعقولات، وکذلک ابن طفيل يؤکد من خلال قصة حي ابن يقظان على أن الإنسان يستطيع بعقلة دون معلم أو مرشد أن يصل إلى ما وصل إليه الدين، والأخلاق والسعادة والاتصال عند ابن طفيل مبنية على أساس عقلي تأملي This research clarifies the position of the mind according to Ibn Baja and Ibn Tufayl, and shows that both of them praised the intellect and raised its value and ability to reach certainty. We find that Ibn Bajjah made reason the decisive element in his philosophy, and this is evident through my presentation of his philosophy of the soul, ethics, knowledge, happiness, pleasure, and communication. Ibn Beja stresses that the rational soul is the best and honorable type of soul. Morals for him are based on a rational basis, and the source of moral imperative for him is a mental one, and correct knowledge is through the mind, and true happiness is attained by the mind, and the true self is the mental pleasures, and the connection is through the gradation from the tangible to the intelligible, and Ibn Tufail confirms through The story of Hayy Ibn Wakzan states that a person can intellectually without a teacher or guide to reach the level of religion, morals, happiness and communication according to Ibn Tufayl are based on a mental and reflective basis.

Soul Restoration in Islamic Tradition (Ibn Tufail's Perspective of Tazkiyya an-Nafs Model)

The modern era has had both positive and negative impacts on the progress of human civilization. The positive impact can be seen from the increasing advances in technology and science that help human life. Meanwhile, one of the negative impacts that emerged from the modern era is the spread of mental health problems in society. Not a few in modern society there are several symptoms and mental health problems that make it difficult for someone to find happiness. This article aims to explain efforts to cleanse the soul in Islamic tradition such as the pattern of cleansing the soul by Ibn Tufail. By using a descriptive critical analysis method with this type of literature research, this research found several important points. First, tazkiyya al-nafs is an important effort that must be made by someone to get a sense of happiness. Second, one of the important strategies and ways to get happiness according to Ibn Tufail is to attain knowledge of God. Third, if someone has come to the knowledge of God, then he will come to Ma'rifatullah. The attainment of this ma'rifatullah stage can only be achieved by someone if that person has cleansed his soul. With tazkiyya al-nafs that is done consistently one will come to what is called musyahadatullah or ma'rifah billah.

DIALEKTIKA HASRAT MANUSIA DALAM NOVEL HAYY BIN YAQZAN KARYA IBN TUFAIL

The paper discusses Ibn Tufail's work, Hayy bin Yaqzan, which describes the differences in the potential for thinking of humans and animals. As perfect beings, humans realize their lives more dynamically than animals. How- ever, humans have a desire that always develops beyond all their needs. In this case, humans have a lack and always tries to fulfill it even though it will never end. Therefore, humans always lead to tension between their identities and others. The article will analyze the stages of human psychological development based on Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic concept of desires such as the real, the imaginary, and the symbolic. Consequently, human life is not to keep apart from dialectics at these stages and their identities.

Loneliness As Self-Improvement: Ibn Tufail’s Hayy Ibn Yaqzan and Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe

There are several kinds of loneliness: assumed, forcible, imposed, morbid, or “collective”. Loneliness may be creative, or empty; there is even loneliness with nothing at stake, as there is meaningful loneliness, and vulgar loneliness. All seem to share something – the ordeal of being with oneself, the fear that one will not be able to bear it in the end. In Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, loneliness becomes the protagonist’s tutor, he lives with loneliness and survives. In The History of Hayy Ibn Yaqzan, the Andalusian novelist and philosopher Abu Bakr Ibn Tufail shows how reason can develop independently of the influence exerted by society. The two writers introduce two types of Robinsons, such as the medieval Hayy ibn Yaqzan, in the philosophical novel of the 11th century, the self-taught philosopher of the Grenadian Ibn Tufayl and the modern European Robinson Crusoe, as Daniel Defoe shows him in his renowned 18th century novel. The two protagonists present two completely different attitudes to society, the world, thought and God: attitudes that, being characteristic of the historical moment of each one, mark, at the same time, two dimensions of the human being.

Pemikiran Pendidikan Ibn Tufail: Studi Atas Kitab Hay Ibn Yaqzan

Abu Bakr ibn Tufail, known as great Islamic philosopher, meanwhile his education idea can be found in Hayy ibn Yaqzan, his magnum opus. He lived at the golden age of Andalusia in middle age, but his education idea appropriates as a contemporary teaching model. This paper has been written by analyzing and comparing Hayy ibn Yaqzan with contemporary teaching models. Ibn Tufail used rationality and intuition as a major source of human knowledge, both represent equal knowledge. His teaching model has the same characteristics as personal method teaching with a scientific approach. He hammered at the development of self creativity of problem-solving. Discovery method and inquiry methods used as his teaching method with neuro language program of metaphor and analyze case study as a technique of learning.

Falsafat dan Tasawuf sebuah Misteri Peradaban (Dialog Pertemuan antara Pemikiran dan Perasaan, Problema Ibn Tufail dan Ibn 'Arabi)

In history, the development of Islamic thought includes of a variety of topics that were adopted later by both philosophers and Sufis. Indeed, the polemics frequently led to the murder of certain school leaders and its followers, such as in the case of Sufi leaders: Abu Mansur al Hallaj and Sharwardi al-maqtul. This is in contrast with Muslim philosophers, who still survived in spite of the fact that their thoughts were totally in opposite to theological tenets of society. Therefore, the question arise as to the relation between falsafah and tasawwuf. For this purpose, the idea of falsafah and tasawwuf of ‘Ibn Tufail and ‘Ibn ‘Arabi is worth studying. This study shows that both thinkers tried to combine these two subjects in achieving the truth; that is in spite of the fact that both falsafah and tasawwuf employed two different approaches in reaching the truth, the former through reason, while the later through define guidance.

Concept of sciart in the Andalusian Ibn Tufail

En una obra admirable, el médico y novelista andaluz Ibn Tufail, identifica y elabora los problemas de la anatomía humana, la autopsia y la vivisección y, por lo tanto, constituye un auténtico científico. Scientart podría definirse como una interacción entre los mundos de la ciencia y el arte. Se pueden considerar tres tipos de estas interacciones: actividades científicas artísticamente inclinadas, actividades artísticas orientadas a la ciencia y actividades científicas y artísticas entrelazadas. Un ejemplo de actividades artísticas y científicas entrelazadas se puede ver en Ibn Tufail, tal como describe la anatomía humana, la autopsia y la vivisección en Hay ibn Yaqzan.

Naturalism in the Script of an Eastern and a Western Philosopher

Many educators look to naturalism as a tool to create a new learning environment because they believe that it can produce an innovative and revolutionary method in the educational world. In this paper, I examine an Eastern, Ibn Tufail, and Western, Jean Jacque Rousseau, romantic naturalist philosophy. I find a remarkable similarity between their fictional characters. Both Tufail’s Hayy Bin Yaqzan and Rousseau’s Emile aim to answer social, moral, metaphysical and educational questions. In this paper, I investigate these romantic naturalist philosophies to determine how these two philosophers use nature to develop learning theory, create an attractive environment, satisfy spiritual needs, and solve moral issues. Consequently, I closely examine their work to understand their romantic naturalist philosophy, which can be used to improve our own educational methods.

J. J. Rousseau, Emile and Religious Education

J.J. Rousseau, thinker of the Age of Enlightenment, breaks a new ground in education with his work Emile. In his novel, Emile is the name of the child he has grown up imaginatively. Rousseau, describing Emile's life and his relationship with his instructor from birth to adolescence, discusses teacher-student relationship, and he defends that children are innate, pure and noble, and that they must be protected from the negative effects of society. This vision, called the return to nature and aiming to protect children from society's artificiality and self-esteem, is recognized as Naturalism in education world. The basic idea of this movement is that child development is carried out without undue interference and limitations. Parents and educators should be good observers, helpers for providing appropriate experiences, and should be in a position that allows children to grow according to their natural abilities. Rousseau, recommending Robinson Crusoe lifestyle, is opposed to compulsory and restricted education. Rousseau himself, who seems to have influenced many thinkers such as Daniel Defoe, Pestalozzi, Froebel, Dewey, Vygotsky and Piaget, has also been influenced by others. Emile is thought to have been influenced by the work Hayy Ibn Yaqzan written by Avicenna and Ibn Tufail centuries ago. Rousseau also mentions religious and moral education in his work. To him, it is more meaningful to teach children how to choose truthfully, how to choose by using their minds and experiences and to respect their free will, rather than giving them a religious education shaped and modified by society. Although it is not possible to practice today, important points to be taken into consideration in religious education draw attention. In our theoretical article, we have tried to investigate the still-influential Naturalism movement and Rousseau's views on religious-moral education, and contribute to the field. We aim to create an awareness of this subject which has not been researched by any independent study.

Ibn Tufayl e l'eredità del filosofo autodidatta / Ibn Tufail and the Autodidact Philosopher’s Heredity

The essence of the work of the autodidact philosopher Ibn Tufail is briefly presented here, both to emphasize how it influenced other thinkers in the way they edited their manuscripts —particularly how Baltasar Gracian edited his El Criticon— and to highlight his influence on later philosophical thought.

Ibn Cabirol did not deal with the issue of single or double truth in terms of reason and revelation as they were discussed by both Ibn Rushd and Maimonides. Neither he did discuss the issues of free will and predestination. He mostly followed the route of Muslim philosophers rather than Muslim theologians/mutakallimun. He generally tackled with the problems of form and matter and will. Although he was raised in the same environment with the well known philosophers of Islam like Ibn Bâcce, Ibn Tufail and Ibn Rushd, he did not have the same fame they had.
