Abstract

Allama Iqbal is the great philosopher and social scientist of the 20^th century who has predicted and depicted many new worlds with his lofty thoughts. He is also persuading the downtrodden and decadent Muslims to set their own objectives and explore their own paths in accordance the norms of the contemporary era. In order to address the serious loss of religious thought and Islamic civilization, Allama Iqbal urged Muslims to advance and promote modern ilm-ul-kalam. This is the way through which the young generation can be saved from the poison of Atheism by correcting the direction of social sciences which has been built on the basis of Atheism and Materialism. Allama Iqbal's concept of self-development imply on individual development while the concept of non-self refers to collective development. Respectively, the first-mentioned is the key chapter of psychology and the second-mentioned is the most important and central subject of sociology. In this research, modern social problems such as individualism and collectivism have been discussed in the context of Iqbal’s thought, so that it can be clear how Allama Iqbal , instead of emphasizing the conflict between the individual and the society, he talked about to be mutually united. It is from which an ideal society can be formed.
