| Summary: | <p>Nowadays, Muslim Ummah all over the world likely at the cross road,<br />at the position where they watch clearly a phenomenon of life that directs<br />them into surprising modern civilization with full creativities and innovations,<br />but far away from the true values of Islamic education. On the other hand,<br />they observe vividly numerous dimensions of life that direct every individual<br />into strong morality, norms and right way of life to discover the Ultimate Reality.<br />This social fact at the end compelled every one of modern people to select<br />which one among these two is the correct ideal for the truth of life.<br />This article tries to elaborate the concept of individuality in the educational<br />philosophy of Allama Muhammad Iqbal 2 . In his Lectures, Iqbal elaborated that<br />individuality is not a datum but an achievement. It is the fruit of a constant,<br />strenuous effort in and against the forces of the external environment as well as<br />the disruptive tendencies within man himself. The life of individuality (the Ego),<br />he further explained is a kind of tension caused by the Ego invading the<br />environment and the environment invading the Ego.<br />An individual is the basis of all aspects of educations, which then must<br />be educated and concerned together with the development of its relationship<br />to the community. Like the philosopher, the educator must necessarily inquire<br />into the nature of these two terms of his active individual and the environment,<br />which ultimately determine the solution of all his problems.</p> |
