The story of Hisham ibn Qayyashan flew beyond the bars of Ibn Sina’s prison, reaching heights that are part of our Arab heritage… A century after Ibn Sina, Ibn Tufayl continued this story, bringing it to new life. He wrote it in a new way, turning it from a simple story into a novel… Then came Suhrawardi, who expanded upon this story with his work “Al-Gharbaa al-Gharbiyyah”. He went beyond the limits set by Ibn Sina… Finally, Ibn al-Nafis came along, rewriting this story and directing it in a completely different direction.
