520 _aThe book is a collection of seven lectures delivered by Allama Muhammad Iqbal between 1920-1932, compiled and edited by Muhammad Saeed Sheikh. The work seeks to re-examine Islamic metaphysics and intellectual foundations in light of modern knowledge, including science, history, and philosophy. Key themes include knowledge and religious experience; the conception of God and meaning of prayer; the nature of the human ego, freedom, and immortality; the “spirit of Muslim culture”; movement and dynamism as an essential element of Islam; and an exploration of whether religion remains possible in an age shaped by rationalism and secular thought. Iqbal argues that Islam must be understood as a dynamic, living tradition capable of dialogue with contemporary thought, rather than being frozen in classical forms.
