An Analysis of the Iqbal’s Qur’anic Thoughts for Youth Education

Abstract

How do we train our young generation in the 21st century? In this regard, the thought and Quranic thinking of Allama Muhammad Iqbal (RA) is very important. There is no other opinion but only the way of Iqbal to reconstruct this nation. Apart from Iqbal's Quranic thoughts of character building, understanding the situation and moving forward as a civilization is for us to find answers to our questions and find a comprehensible solution to our problems. It would not be an exaggeration to say that if we ignore Iqbal’s Quranic thought and move forward, it means that we are culturally, politically, socially and nationally two and a half hundred years behind today. If we reject Iqbal’s vision and step into the future, we will be stepping into a very intellectual backwardness. If we really want to have a meaningful role in the future, we have to make a fundamental change in the consciousness of the new generation through the training. The change is that we have to acquaint them with the purpose and make them realize their position. Until we do this, our purpose will not be achieved and whatever we continue to do will be limited to Cosmetics and Ritual, it will not have any clear effect. When we say that we have to create a purpose in the new generation and acquaint them with their position, it should be kept in mind that the purpose for which Pakistan was established and in view of our founders which the big goal was to create a sense of purpose in the consciousness of the new generation. If we succeed in achieving this goal, then it can be said that we have reached the destination. In short, in this article an Analysis of the Iqbal’s Quranic thought in Youth education will be discussed in detail.
