Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relevance of Muhammad Iqbal's Islamic educational
thoughts in facing the challenges of education in the modern era. Iqbal's thoughts that
integrate the concepts of khudi (self), freedom of thought, and actualization of human
potential, make an important contribution to the formation of individuals who are not only
intellectually intelligent, but also have high character, creativity, and social awareness. In
the midst of the development of globalization and technological advances, Islamic
education faces various challenges, including mental colonization, dogmatism, and
limitations of thought. In this context, Iqbal's thoughts on freedom and creativity in
education become relevant as a solution to free Muslims from the shackles of limited
thinking and encourage them to develop their potential to the maximum. This study uses a
literature review method by collecting various literature related to Iqbal's thoughts and
their application in Islamic education. The results of the study show that Iqbal's concepts
can provide a new direction in developing Islamic education that is more inclusive,
innovative, and responsive to the challenges of the times. Therefore, Iqbal's educational
thoughts are very relevant to be implemented in the Islamic education system in the current
era of globalization.
