DESCRIPTION: Imagine being born and growing up on a deserted island, w
 ith no other humans to tell you what to make of life or the world. In
  Ḥayy ibn Yaqẓān, a boy raised by a gazelle on an uninhabited is
 land discovers life through reason and observation. Join Ṣuḥba Bo
 ok Club to explore what this story can teach us about the search of m
 eaning. How do form our beliefs? What role do reason and the people a
 round us play in shaping them? These questions are central to the fir
 st edition of Ṣuḥba Book Club, where we will read Ḥayy ibn Yaq�
 ��ān by the twelfth-century philosopher Ibn Tufayl.&nbsp;Amidst lect
 ures and deadlines, we take a moment to reflect on life’s bigger qu
 estions. Ṣuḥba is the Arabic word for companionship. Inspired by 
 this idea, Ṣuḥba Book Club brings students together to reflect on
  the search for meaning through literature inspired by Islamic spirit
 uality. We read, share thoughts and reflect on what these stories mig
 ht mean for our own lives as students.&nbsp;Whether you’re curious 
 about Islamic spirituality or simply enjoy reflecting on life with ot
 hers, we’d love for you to join us. No prior religious knowledge is
  needed. Just an open mind and curiosity.Ṣuḥba Book Club is an in
 itiative by NEWConnective, the platform for life’s bigger questions
