Kalam E Iqbal: Current Requirements And Our Priorities

Abstract

Allama Iqbal's teachings are not specific to a particular time, a particular region, or a particular race. Iqbal is a poet of every age. A vital aspect of his thoughts and his teachings is that he wants to guide the individual in the right direction and to shape him morally and spiritually. This individual training leads to collective training for them. A nation, a country, or a society can be built together with individuals, and if each individual of the nation has good internal and moral training, then finally, the effects of this individual training will be reflected in the collective form and an ideal society will be formed. Even today, if Iqbal's teachings, his thoughts, and his efforts to promote his spiritual and moral values are studied without regard, then it is inevitably pointed out that the need for interpretation and explanation of Iqbal's thoughts in the present era is exactly the same as it was ninety or a hundred years ago. It is as if the application of Iqbal's teachings was not only for this particular era when the Muslim society was struggling to achieve its own identity but also in the present era to maintain this identity. The main centre of Iqbal's thinking is the man of faith who has been fully enlightened by himself; most of his other ideas revolve around this man of faith. The same aspects are discussed in detail in this article.
