Allama Iqbal and Renewal of Sufism: Research and Critical Review

Abstract

This study investigates the contemporary interpretation and application of Sufism in the East, focusing on Iqbal's Sufi ideals. Beyond analyzing Iqbal's own works, it explores broader Sufi literature. Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, a staunch advocate for restoring Islamic Sufism to its authentic form, criticized elements diverging from its original principles. Emphasizing the transformation of the human ego, he advocated for the cultivation of divine attributes over ego erasure. Using a mixed methodology, the research concludes that traditional Sufism is responsible for the decline of Muslims, positioning Iqbal as a key figure in the revival of a Sufism that inspires proactive engagement.
