Abstract

A detailed study of how the individual life and collective existence have shaped our understanding of human stature and status, and how this understanding has been propagated to the depths of society, even to the realm of civilizations, in pursuit of the grand dream of humanity, is highly significant. "Goethe and Iqbal share a multitude of common traits. Both adopt a universal lens when viewing life, transcending superficialities to uncover underlying truths. In their respective philosophies, human mortality is perceived as a unified experience that is simultaneously burdensome and precious. 'The Message of the East' is Goethe's response to the East's appeal. He delved into Eastern literature, particularly that of Rumi, from whom he drew Sufi insights. However, he did not fully align with Rumi's philosophy and instead dedicated his efforts to proving that the East alone could provide solutions to the contemporary world's problems. Iqbal, on the other hand, refuted Goethe's claims, asserting that the knowledge in the West currently leverages is, in fact, a legacy of the East, especially of Muslims. In "The Message of the East,' Iqbal expounds on the truths and insights pertaining to the spiritual development of individuals and nations. He presents his conclusions on God, humanity, and the universe through a poetic lens, giving particular attention to the philosophy of movement and explaining the evolutionary stages of life. IQBAL'S concept of evolution is often attributed to his deep admiration for Western philosophers and their passionate pursuit of human progress. Life is a struggle. It's a quest for knowledge about humanity and the universe. Wisdom is a great blessing from God. Wherever wisdom is found, seek it. Despite the explicit nature of the Quran, scholars have often misinterpreted the essence of the Divine. True knowledge is the knowledge of the attributes of things. Understanding the properties of objects can lead to astonishing inventions, as evidenced by contemporary science. It is through the knowledge of objects that Europe has progressed. A nation's prosperity hinges on the pursuit of knowledge and economic growth. Goethe and Iqbal, two profound thinkers and life's mysteries, stand as testaments to this.
