Abstract
The history of all times and peoples demostrates that in the crisis periods, accompanied by protest atmosphere in society, revolutionary, traditional, and reformist moods get spread. Dialectical relationship between them, manifested in mutual combat, could be viewed at the macro-level – in the context of the development of society as a whole, as well as at the micro-level – in the context of life experiences and behavior of individuals. Nowadays, given the current situation in the Muslim world (a similar situation is observed in many other civilizational areals), readers are off ered a cautionary tale of the life and works of the great poet-philosopher, public fi gure, Muhammad Iqbal, who passed a way from a dedication to the revolutionary ideas to the adherence to traditionalism, and then to the awareness of the need for creative, reformist approach to traditions. It is this evolution of Iqbal that permits to assess him as " the Poet of Tomorrow".
