اسرارِ خودى – وضاحتی شذرہ

Abstract

Asrar-e Khudi is the first book describing the thought of Allama Iqbal in which he presented the concept of positive self instead of negative self for the evolution and fulfillment of human self. According to Allama Iqbal, self-affirmation refers to the construction of human personality in such a way that it gradually becomes unique and unique. Its way and method is to adopt the morals of Allah. Allama Iqbal did not base his philosophy on any western or worldly thought, but on the thoughts of Muslim thinkers and Sufis. As he himself said, I claim that the philosophy of Asrar Khudi has developed by directly utilizing the thoughts and experiences of ancient Muslim Sufis and thinkers, their concepts and personal experiences. It is nothing but interpreting an old concept in a new light. While explaining the philosophy of self, Allama Iqbal did not ignore other important questions connected with it. What is the relationship between Real and creation? On what principle has Allah created this universe and what is the relationship between man and human society in this universe? There is a whole world inside a human being. What is the cause of the population and destruction of the inner world of man? How can that society and that human being that is wanted by Allah come into being? These are the basic questions that are connected with Allama Iqbal's philosophy of self and Allama Iqbal has given comprehensive answers to all these questions.
