The contemporary Muslim world faces a profound crisis of unity, identity, and intellectual vitality. Sectarian fragmentation, ideological polarization, and spiritual stagnation have undermined the Tawḥīdic vision that once animated Islamic civilization. This article reinterprets Allama Muhammad Iqbal’s Tawḥīdic humanism, a philosophical synthesis rooted in the metaphysical principle of divine unity as a constructive response to these modern challenges. Through a critical textual analysis of Iqbal’s seminal works, including Asrār-i Khudi and The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam, the study argues that Iqbal’s triadic vision of Tawḥīd (unity of being), Khudi (creative selfhood), and Tulu ‘-e-Islam (civilizational revival) offers a coherent framework for overcoming sectarianism and epistemic paralysis. Iqbal conceives human individuality as a dynamic locus of divine creativity, one that unites metaphysical depth with moral agency. His philosophy resists both atomistic modernity and passive traditionalism, calling instead for a spiritually grounded reconstruction of thought and society. By reasserting Tawḥīd as both an ontological and ethical principle, the paper demonstrates how Iqbal’s vision can reawaken collective consciousness and restore moral coherence in a fragmented world. Ultimately, Tawḥīdic humanism emerges as a living paradigm for intellectual and civilizational renewal in the twenty-first century.
