Iqbal - The Educationist

Abdul Ghaffar, Ph.D. Student

Abstract

Allama Muhammad Iqbal (1876-1938) is one of the most prominent and acknowledged poet-philosophers of India-Pakistan. Iqbal stressed that individuality cannot be developed in isolation. The proper nourishment and enrichment of individuality need society and community. Equal importance is given in his philosophical verses to research and creativity achieved by the Western nations. He advised Muslims to follow their model in research and science. Female education was equally stressed by Iqbal, and, last but not the least, moral education of man is given due consideration.

Introduction

Much of Allama Iqbal's writings encouraged Muslims to embrace ideals of brotherhood, justice and service. His book Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam presents his vision in great detail. His masterpiece is The Song of Eternity (1932). Similar in theme to Dante's Divine Comedy, it relates the poet's ascent through all realms of thought and experience, guided by the 13th-century poet Jalal-UD-Din-Rumi. He also wrote poetry in the Persian language. He tried to free the Muslim mind from the prevailing colonial mentality and from Muslims' own narrow self-interests, which is reflected in his classical work Toloo-e-Islam (Rise of Islam).
