IKBAL: ISLAM JE DRŽAVNI POREDAK
IQBAL: ISLAM IS THE STATE ORDER

Summary/Abstract: Mohammed Iqbal “spiritual father” of Pakistan, philosopher, political thinker, reformer and lawyer, is one of the most important Muslim figures of the first half of the twentieth century. Educated in both East and West, understanding and writing the two “big” Western (English and German) and two “large” Eastern (Urdu and Persian) languages and cultures well established in these languages , he has, with the casual ease and great poetic talent, sailed endless arches of these great cultures. He was fully convinced that Islam is non-dogmatic and that it is the moral and spiritual foundation and the dynamics of society and the individual. He considered Western philosophy inferior in comparison to the legacy of Islam, as he emphasized that the source of his ideas was the Qur’an and the rich heritage of the Muslim Sufis and thinkers. Iqbal believes that political activity is the expression of Islamic spirituality and that it stands opposite to Christian separation of church and state. Islam “needs” state and stability and welfare of the country and its economic effects are the essence of the faith, because the economies of the Ummah and its well-being of is the essence of Islam, such as the Islamic spirituality is unthinkable without a fair economic activity.
