REVIVING THE UMMAH THROUGH INTEGRATED KNOWLEDGE: IQBAL’S CONTRIBUTIONS TO ISLAMIC INTELLECTUAL REVIVAL
Keywords:
Reviving, Ummah, Integration of Knowledge, Epistemology, Civilization.Abstract
This study delves into Allama Muhammad Iqbal's philosophy of integrated knowledge, emphasizing the harmonious fusion of reason, revelation, and intuition as a means to revitalize the Muslim Ummah and overcome intellectual stagnation. Iqbal’s visionary framework closely aligns with the concept of Islamization, advocating for the integration of traditional Islamic principles with modern scientific and philosophical advancements to create a balanced epistemological approach. His emphasis on ijtihad (independent reasoning) serves as a transformative tool for renewal, enabling Muslims to confront contemporary challenges such as materialism, globalization, and ethical dilemmas posed by technological advancements. By critiquing intellectual inertia and championing ethical dimensions in science, governance, and education, Iqbal provides a roadmap for an Islamized approach to knowledge. This research highlights the enduring relevance of Iqbal’s ideas, advocating for educational and intellectual reform to inspire holistic progress and restore the Ummah’s leadership in global knowledge production, while fostering a meaningful engagement with modernity within an Islamic framework.
