“Hayy now understood the human condition. He saw that most men are
no better than unreasoning animals, and realized that all wisdom and
guidance, all that could possibly help them was contained already in the
words of the prophets and the religious traditions. None of this could be
different. There was nothing to be added.²⁷⁹ There is a man for every
task²⁸⁰ and everyone belongs to the life for which he was created. “This
was God’s way with those who came before, and never will you find a
change in the ways of God.”
― حي بن يقظان

“Preaching is no help, fine words
have no effect on them. Arguing only makes them more pig-headed. Wis-
dom, they have no means of reaching; they were allotted no share of it.²⁶⁷
They are engulfed in ignorance. Their hearts are corroded by their
possessions.²⁶⁸ God has sealed their hearts and shrouded their eyes and
ears. Theirs will be an awesome punishment.”
