Muhammad al-Adawi, an Egyptian physician and writer, is known for his concern with fostering intercultural and interfaith dialogue within the Islamic world. One of his most notable works focuses on the life of Avicenna, the eminent scientific and philosophical figure of Iran and Islam. In his novel Al-Raees, the narrator/hero embarks on a journey that transcends the boundaries of time and space, seeking to present Avicenna’s character within the context of Iranian and Islamic culture, from a contemporary perspective and through the eyes of a young Egyptian physician. This study employs a descriptive-analytical method to examine the mythical mindset of the narrator/hero in Al-Raees. Drawing on the perspectives of Canadian philosopher and critic Northrop Frye, it explores the key dimensions of this mythical mentality. The findings suggest that al-Adawi, in Al-Raees, offers a mythical redefinition of places, characters, history, and events associated with the life of Ibn Sina. In doing so, he merges past and present, creating a fluid narrative that intertwines the adventures of the distant hero (Avicenna) with those of the near hero (Muhammad).
