Philosophy of Life: An important intellectual element of Iqbal’s Writings

Abstract

The philosophy of life is an important philosophy in Iqbal's writings which helps in reaching his intellectual horizons. Life is not just the name of living on earth but it is a journey that travels continuously even after its disappearance from the earth. The survival of life in the world is hidden only in actions and works, which should be based on the principles of self-recognition (Khudi) and the life of a perfect man. The survival of the collective life requires certain needs which are named as nation and politics; it should also be subordinated to the universal principles of divine teachings. Such life contributes to the true order of the universe.
