Iqbal's Philosophy of Self
Iqbal's philosophy of self centers on the idea that the "self" (or "Khudi") is a dynamic, creative force that drives human development and realization. He believed that true self-awareness empowers individuals to transcend limitations, connect with the divine, and realize their full potential. This self-assertion fosters moral responsibility, growth, and a sense of purpose. Iqbal emphasized that understanding and nurturing one's inner self is essential for personal fulfillment and societal progress, encouraging individuals to become active, self-aware contributors to the universe's ongoing creative process.
