The modern concept of nationalism depicts a bond of consciousness and affection between the people for a certain piece of land, language or race etc. however, territorial and secular concept of nationalism is completely different from the Islamic concept. By the following the same ideology , Iqbal , a staunch advocate of a separate Muslim state, not only rejected the territorial nationalism but also advocated the concept of Ummah as the deriving sources of national identity. He believed that every individual who came into the auspice of Islam becomes a citizen of an Islamic Ummah irrespective of his color, creed or caste etc. Present study will strive to define and analyze Iqbal's thought about nationalism according to which the presence of western concept of nationalism among the Muslim states is a biggest threat to their common identity
