He calls for a reawakening of the Muslim world from "summary" of A New Approach to Iqbal by Muḥammad Ḥasan
In his work, 'A New Approach to Iqbal', Muḥammad Ḥasan delves into the idea of a reawakening within the Muslim world that is called for by Iqbal. This concept of reawakening is not merely a physical or material resurgence, but rather a spiritual and intellectual revival that is needed to address the challenges facing the Muslim community. Iqbal emphasizes the importance of introspection and self-awareness as key components of this reawakening, urging Muslims to look within themselves and rediscover their inherent strengths and values. Furthermore, Iqbal argues that this reawakening must be rooted in a deep understanding of Islamic teachings and principles, as well as a willingness to adapt and innovate in response to changing circumstances. He calls upon Muslims to reclaim their intellectual heritage and engage with contemporary issues in a thoughtful and informed manner. This requires a willingness to engage with diverse perspectives and ideas, while also remaining true to the core values of Islam. Moreover, Iqbal emphasizes the need for unity and cooperation among Muslims in order to face the challenges of the modern world. He argues that division and discord within the Muslim community only serve to weaken it, and that a collective effort is needed to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead. This sense of unity is not just about coming together in a superficial or symbolic way, but rather about forging genuine connections and alliances based on shared values and goals.- Iqbal's call for a reawakening of the Muslim world is a call to action that requires courage, commitment, and a willingness to change. It is a reminder that the challenges facing the Muslim community cannot be overcome through passive acceptance or resignation, but rather through active engagement and empowerment. As Muḥammad Ḥasan explores in his book, this concept of reawakening is as relevant today as it was in Iqbal's time, and serves as a powerful reminder of the potential that lies within the Muslim world.
