Ibn Tufa'al's Revelation

Hai becomes a follower of Ab-Sal's faith, showing that philosophy and mysticism do not require religion but do not rule it out either. The happy end has Hai and Ab-Sal sailing into the sunset to return to seclusion on their island. Ibn Tufa'al does not just look back to Al-Farrabi, he also looks ahead to his colleague and the greatest Muslim thinker of Andalusia. Don't leave me stranded next time as we begin to look at the man known to medieval authors simply as the commentator.
