Review the book Hayy ibn Yaqzan

The title of the book is Hayy ibn Yaqzan,Hayy means alive, this is a philosophical, Sufi tale written by Ibn Tufayl was an Arab Andalusian Muslimpolymath:a writer, novelist, Islamic philosopher, Islamic theologian, physician, astronomer, vizier, and court official. .
.
The story is about Hayy, a boy who was raised in a wilde Island by a... Gazelle, he lived without any contact with other human beings, so we follow his journey of discovering the universe, the nature, how things works and what is God.
After that he will meet a Sufi named Absal, Absal will teach him how to speak and together they will try to convince people to let go of goods and material needs, because it distracts them from the truth. Of course people didn't like the Sufism way as Hayy presented it, so he decided to go back to the island, Absal and him and they spent the rest of their life in solitude and spiritual lifestyle.

Honestly I found some parts in the book hard to understand, maybe because it's an old Arabic language, but it's really an interesting book and I think stories like Tarzan were inspired by the story of Hayy. .
.
So the question is? Can we really understand life and reach the god existence without previous knowledge of religions and history ? Can we evolve alone without a society ? .
