Abstract
Iqbal acknowledges that formal and informal education plays
an inevitable role in the development of human beings on individual and
collective levels. Though he never claimed to be an educationist but his
ideals regarding the methodology and objectives of education can be derived
by his poetry and prose. The first impression of early writings of Iqbal
leaves the impact that he was curious regarding the nourishment of an
individual’s intellectual and spiritual abilities through education but the
deeper analysis of Iqbal thoughts reflects that he also focused on the
individual as basic unit of community so that the existence of such
individuals may give collective strength to the nation. He admires modern
scientific achievements but rejects the idea of separating knowledge from
religious domain. Moreover, he suggests that modern knowledge and
scientific education should be given to the men only because it might leave
adverse effects if it would be included in the syllabus designed for women.
