Abstract
This is the second part of my article published in JoEED, Vol.4, Issue 2, on
Iqbal’s educational aims and objectives. In the first part the thrust was on the
development of an individual self as a Muslim and the second part caters for
Iqbal’s recommendations on how this individual can be developed as an effective
instrument for serving the Islamic society and the Ummah. As mentioned in the
first part, Pakistan lacks an education system to match the ideological needs of
a Muslim society. The need to revive the grand narrative of the golden age of the
Islamic world is currently being felt with great intensity. Iqbal being the ideologue
of Pakistan has given us sufficient guidelines to draw our education system on the
precepts of Islam. While Iqbal’s Persian anthology Asrar-i-Khudi narrates on how
to develop an Islamic individual, his second anthology Ramuz-i-Bikhudi deals with
how to develop this individual self as an effective member of the Islamic society. In
this research qualitative content analysis of Ramuz-i- Bikhudi was carried out under
the supervision of a celebrated expert on Iqbal and educational aims, objectives
were derived for this purpose. It is sufficient to note that at the end of this anthology,
Iqbal vows that his recommendations comply completely with the teachings of the
holy Qur’an. The end objective of Iqbal was to prepare an individual who is an
effective human being.
