فکر اقبال کی سیاسی اور تہذیبی اہمیت

Abstract

The thought of Allama Muhammad Iqbal can be understood in two parts with reference to its significance and role. At social and community level it guides us to develop such norms, values and traditions which can create an ideal society. At individual level it creates the sense of human dignity and respect in the members of the society. When Iqbal criticizes western democracy, it is due to preference of color and creed on the essence of humanity. Because in this system, according to Iqbal, the respect and honor of man is dominated by the racial and regional identities. Iqbal has given the idea of spiritual democracy that is based on concept of equality, fraternity and well-being of humanity. This article describes these dimensions of Iqbal's thought.
