Abstract

Allama Muhammad Iqbal is counted among those intellects whose exceptional greatness and glory are agreed upon by the entire Muslim  Ummah. Through his poetry, he blew a new spirit of awareness among the Muslims of the subcontinent and awakened in them the desire to throw off the shackles of slavery. Through his speech, he evaluated the effects of the social problems and presented the possible measures and their solutions to the public. In Iqbal's poetry, women have a special place and status. He is a great bearer of the greatness of women and a supporter of women's freedom, but Iqbal considers the concept of equality between men and women described by the West to be a delusion. According to him, women are being exploited in the West in the name of equality, while Islam better protects the rights of women and represents their legitimate rights in society.
