Psychological Concept of Iqbal’s Ideal Society

Abstract

Iqbal’s thoughts paved the way for a progressive society in the Indo-Pak subcontinent. We would not be wrong in saying that it was actually the essence of Iqbal’s work that was evident in the voice of the progressive writers, who rose for change, equality, and literature for all. There is no doubt that they have been against some of Iqbal’s thought processes, but it is also true that Iqbal’s work was not only a speculation but an epitome of change, which many scholars themselves followed. Iqbal was in favour of such a society where all humanity could collaborate and progress together, where he did not want such a society for the Muslim world only, but for the whole world. It is this philosophical landmark of his that makes him a leading international poet. His concept of an ideal society on the basis of human psychology is based on the knowledge of the Quran and the Hadith. It is due to this reason that his teachings are misinterpreted before the third world as being controversial to demoralise them and hence affecting their courage and confidence, while on the other hand, the developing world follows the same ideology for their existence and perseverance. Along with Iqbal’s work on a progressive society, this article will also examine how implementable these rules and regulations of Iqbal are for such societies. Is Iqbal’s vision a fictitious marvel or in accordance with the ground realities? We will also throw light on the facts that if Iqbal’s knowledge, rules and regulations introduced by him can bring actual happiness to a person, or all his work has only been for the sole purpose of getting fame.
