Iqbal's vision of a revitalized Muslim ummah is both timely and necessary from "summary" of A New Approach to Iqbal by Muḥammad Ḥasan
Muḥammad Ḥasan argues that Iqbal's vision of a revitalized Muslim ummah is not only relevant in today's world but also imperative for the progress and prosperity of the Muslim community. This vision encompasses a collective awakening and empowerment of Muslims, both spiritually and intellectually, to overcome the challenges they face in the contemporary global scenario. The need for a unified Muslim ummah, guided by Iqbal's teachings, is crucial to address the socio-political, economic, and cultural issues that plague Muslim societies worldwide.
Iqbal's call for a revitalized Muslim ummah is rooted in his belief that Muslims must reclaim their past glory through self-realization and self-empowerment. This involves a reawakening of Muslim consciousness and a reconnection with the core principles of Islam to navigate the complexities of the modern world. By reviving their spiritual and intellectual traditions, Muslims can build a strong foundation for progress and development, both individually and collectively.
Moreover, Iqbal emphasizes the importance of unity and solidarity among Muslims to counter external threats and internal divisions. He envisions a Muslim ummah that transcends geographical boundaries and sectarian differences, working together towards a common goal of peace, justice, and prosperity. This sense of unity is essential to overcome the challenges of Islamophobia, extremism, and marginalization that Muslims face in the contemporary world.
In light of the current political and social climate, Iqbal's vision offers a roadmap for Muslims to navigate the challenges of the 21st century. By embracing his teachings and ideals, the Muslim ummah can emerge as a powerful force for positive change and transformation in the global arena. The revitalization of the Muslim community, as envisioned by Iqbal, is not merely an option but a necessity for the survival and success of Muslims in the modern world.
