Modern scientific development has given human beings highly
facilitated life. Objective world is getting more and more smart and
attractive technologically day by day, but the inner or subjective world of an
individual is having more complications with the development of science.
Science has nothing to compensate the emotional deprivations of human
beings. Therefore, modern society has generated social alienation and
loneliness among individuals. Religion can play an important role in
eliminating these negative trends. As in Islam, if the spirit of associative
prayer can be reflected in public affairs, levels of loneliness and isolation
can be decreased or even diminished. This article will address Muhammad
Iqbal’s views regarding the role and importance in socialization. He
highlights the impact of congregation upon the individual and collective life
of people. Although, he did not face existing issues of alienation due to
social networking or rapid growth of self-centered activities, but he felt and
anticipated the disastrous hazards to the mankind and suggested to follow
the patterns of socialization offered by Islam especially in the form of
associative prayers.
