Philosophy of Allama Iqbal with special reference to the Islamic society and Culture

Abstract

A Philosophy is a discipline of facts and knowledge undoubtedly relevant to the coming into being of all facets of human life. As it sheds light on the issue of life and human fate, knowledge is inferred and postulated. Allama Muhammad Iqbal made an invaluable contribution to the provision and solution of Islamic society's problems. The article is an attempt to examine Allama Iqbal and his contribution to social theory. This is based on a study of relevant literature, with a focus on conceptualizing Iqbal and his contribution to Islamic culture and society. It is precisely this unity of culture and faith that will form the basis for the views of Muhammad Iqbal on Muslim culture. The most critical aspect of social life and the cornerstone of its transition is the culture of the Iqbal view. He thought that culture plays a greater role in clarifying social change than other variables, such as economics and politics. Though Iqbal has studied Western thought extensively, the views of Iqbal on culture are basically influenced by the teachings of the Qur'an and Hadith. This paper seeks to discover the idea of Muslim culture and society of Iqbal, and the fundamental principles that empower, encourage, and guide Muslims in their cultural pursuits.
