2.   A Philosophical   Study

3.   Iqbal's philosophy Iqbal   believed that any Muslim can define his position, rebuild his life and renew his social life in the light of ultimate principles. From the principles of his religion, a Muslim can discover spiritual values which is the last and final goal of Islam . This is the essence of  Iqbal's philosophy.

5. Poetry and philosophy To Iqbal poetry and philosophy are the two vehicles through which he conveyed his ideas to the intellectual .

6. Iqbal’s philosophy of the khudi/self Some ideas from western philosopher Quran and sunnah Ideas of early muslim philosopher

7. Iqbal's visit of Europe-a turning point Iqbal in the early years of his life stood for composite Indian nationalism. His Urdu poetry before 1906 and specifically poems such as ‘The New Temple’ and ‘The Indian Anthem’ bear ample testimony to this fact. His visit to Europe was a turning point and his thoughts altered from composite Indian Nationalism to Muslim Nationalism. Iqbal visited Europe in 1905 and returned to India in 1908. During this period Iqbal acquired law degree at Lincoln’s Inn, a Bachelor of Arts at Cambridge and a Doctor of Philosophy at Munich University.

8.   Iqbal reasoned that mission of Islam was to demolish idolatry To Iqbal territorial nationalism and Islam were contradictory and irreconcilable. Iqbal reasoned that mission of Islam was to demolish idolatry, it could not approve of patriotism (born out of nationalism), which was nothing but “a subtle form of idolatry ”  He wrote a poem ‘Territorial Nationalism 'and in one its couplet said: Country is the supreme among all the contemporary idols. Its cloak is the shroud of Islam. Territorial nationalism creates division in the Muslims community. He said that: God’s creation is divided into nations by territorial nationalism. The roots of Islamic nationality are destroyed by it.

9. Iqbal concept of Muslim Nationalism After his return to Europe Iqbal’s abandoned the concept of composite Indian nationalism and adopted Muslim Nationalism. He also carved out his views on Islamic universalism. He believed that European concept of nationalism cannot be applied to India. He asserted that according to European notion India is not a land with one nation. Because two major communities living in India i.e. Hindus and Muslims do not share common language, common culture, common history which is the basis of nationalism. Rather Muslims posses separate identity with their own religious and cultural values. These views were expressed in his poem ‘The Anthem of the Islamic Community

10. Iqbal’s point on muslim nationalism Iqbal realized that Muslims have their own basics of nationalism which lie in the origin of Islam .Muslims living in whole world constitute a single muslim nation or muslim ummah .it was Islamic universalism which was the base of muslim nationalism .so Muslims should have their separate and independent land or a piece of land where they can obey their religious obligations and cultural activities with full freedom.

11. Conclusion of Iqbal about nationalism Iqbal realize that India is not a land with one nation .two communities Hindus and Muslims are living there which are far different from each other in their daily routine and lifestyle . They do not share common language ,common history , common culture which are the basic components on which nationalism is based .

12. Iqbal’s Islamic philosophy and nationalism Iqbal’s perception of an Islamic state was not a theocracy but a state that attempts to realize the spiritual principles of tawhid,equality,solidrity and freedom in a definite human organization.

13. Propagation of the views of Iqbal Iqbal propagated his views through his poetry and different political forums it became a miracle for stimulating activism among Muslims . He made his thoughts an ideological foundation for his concept of Pakistan . Even his concept also convinced the leadership of muslim league to take inspiration for the creation of Pakistan

20.
