الديمقراطية الروحية : مراجعة لمقالة "الاجتهاد" عند محمد إقبال

Abstract EN

This paper examines Muhammad Iqbal call to re-consider the principle of dynamics in Islamic thought, as a fundamental principle of Qur'an.

Ijtihad is the actual embodiment of dynamism in the field of jurisprudent thinking.

In his review of the history of ijtihad concept, Iqbal demonstrates that it was the perfect tool for the renewal of Islamic legislative thought.

Furthermore, ijtihad revival the present requires a review of the principles of jurisprudence and its branches.

Iqbal's review into these principles lead him to detect their renewal possibilities, especially in political and social aspects.

Accordingly, he highlights the flexibility of these principles to cope with modern issues that Muslims face, and proclaims that Ijtihad alone guarantees to release the creative potentials, not only to renew Islamic thought, but also to address modern civilization problems as well.
