Abstract

This qualitative study focused on the investigation of Allama Mohammad Iqbal’s educational philosophy as a reflection of Islamic thought about the specific variables. Special reference was made to his thoughts about female education and his views about self and individuality. In order to look for the answers to the research questions two major sources were utilized for collection of relevant information. It mainly focused on Iqbal’s poetical work/his verses regarding the research variables. Secondary sources e.g. different books and web sources were also utilized for relevant information. Furthermore, Quran verses were also presented for relevancy of his thought with that of an Islamic approach regarding the focused variables. Findings of the study show that Iqbal was ever concerned about the belated plight of the Muslims, particularly the young youth. Similarly his views about female education and the role which they play in the development of the individual and his role in the community is crystal clear from his philosophy.
