He started his early education from a “Maktab” and had the precious opportunity to study in the Cambridge and Munich University. He had a very sound understanding about the various shades of the concepts of education. He contributed a lot as a teacher, as an educational thinker and reformer. He expressed his view about the educational philosophy on various occasions through his poetic work, articles and speeches. Moreover, he wrote certain letters to different people and discussed the educational phenomenon in detail. Iqbal’s philosophy of education carries the vital significance being the combination of both modern and ancient thoughts. Iqbal rendered his valuable thoughts and services as a poet, philosopher, educator and educational thinker/reformer. He even contributed toward educational reforms in Afghanistan on the special request of King Nadir Shah. He tends to favor the modern scientific education in order to keep pace with the modern world. He believes that we being vicegerent to Almighty Allah are bound to take part in the conquest of the universe.
