| Abstract | ||
| This paper deals with the philosophical aspects of nationalism and pan-Islamism in view of Dr. Muhammad Iqbal, a great poet and philosopher of sub-continent. The paper examines in an analytical way, how Iqbal’s concept of nationalism is different from Western brand of nationalism and coincided with Jamal-u-din Afghani’s ideal of pan-Islamism. The paper discusses how Iqbal reconciled his ideal with the real world-over dynamics, especially in the Muslim world after World War II. It is further ar-gued that how far his idea of Nationalism and his concern for Muslim unity had relevance to the con-temporary Muslim world, particularly in the context of predicament faced by the Muslim Ummah. | ||
