Muhammad Iqbal

In his foundational book "Muhammad Iqbal: Philosopher of the Self" (published by Ruya for Publishing and Distribution), prominent thinker Dr. Hassan Hanafi presents a deep philosophical thesis representing an intellectual dialogue between two giants of Islamic renewal. Hanafi deconstructs Iqbal's philosophy centered on the concept of "Self/Ego" (Khudi) as a axis for reconstructing religious thought and overcoming stagnation in the Islamic world. The book dives with analytical eloquence into explaining Iqbal's vision—showing how the Eastern philosopher harmonized authentic Islamic spirituality with modern Western philosophical approaches (like Bergson and Nietzsche) to reframe faith as dynamic action and creation. Through an eloquent literary style combining philosophical rigor with intellectual grace, Hanafi offers an exceptional guide illuminating paths of spiritual renewal and freedom.

Because it provides readers with a deep philosophical analysis of poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal's thought, written by eminent philosopher Dr. Hassan Hanafi.

For contemporary Islamic philosophy enthusiasts, researchers in intellectual renewal and Eastern renaissance, lovers of Iqbal's philosophy and poetry, and seekers of spiritual consciousness.
