Iqbal stands alone in the post classical period of Islamic philosophy as a reviver of the discipline within the Muslim world. He is the only Islamic philosopher to make a serious attempt at grabbling with the problems of modern western philosophy within an Islamic context. His thought has been extremely influential throughout the Islamic world today.
Iqbal introduces his notion of Khudi, or self. Arising from a desire to awaken the Muslim Ummah and drawing upon inspiration from western existentialists like Nietzsche, and Muslim spiritual teachers he empowers the Muslim individual. Beyond its superficial, and important, role as a motivator for Muslims Khudi embodies a deep philosophical concept prevalent throughout his philosophical writings.Iqbal says that Khudi is the way how Nations live with pride.It the miracle of Khudi that Nations make history.The nations who forget their Khudi, are ruined by the ashes of time.
It was miracle of the directions given by him and passion of muslims of subcontinent that Pakistan came into being in the time span of just 7 years.
