اسلام، سیکولرازم اور اقبال

Abstract

Secularism is an approach to understand life and adopt some values. It is the concept of western origin. The word seculus is the origin of secularism. It has been a point of debate in the West in different times but it emerged in its present form after the thesis of new world order. Adopting secularism means a fundamental change in the social, moral, political and economic values of life. Since the West has been in the division of state and church for a long times, it adopted secularism to avoid this bifurcation of society. But in Iqbal's thought such concept of secularism can not be accommodated in a Muslim society. Iqbal negates the duality of matter and spirit, body and soul and religion and state.
