THE PRINCIPLE OF DEVELOPMENT IN MUHAMMAD IQBAL’S RENEWING THOUGHT

Summary/Abstract: Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938) is a contemporary Muslim poet and thinker of the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent who has dedicated his life to the matters of spiritual and political renewal of Islamic civilization in the world. He has enlightened the pure spiritual message of Islam and provided it as a source of social and political liberation of Muslim peoples. The progress of the Muslim world he primarily has seen in the so-called new ijtihad, independent interpretation of the main sources of Islam as a form of a new construction of practical norms of the global community of Muslims. He urges religious leaders to redefine or look at the true definition of ijtihad which is an ongoing process that determines (according to his book Reconstruction of religious thought in Islam): the principle of dynamism, an opinion or legal decisions and the ultimate authority in passing legislation.
