Abstract

In shāʾ Allāh (God willing), my latest book on Muhammad Iqbal (1877–1938) will soon see the light of day in print. As someone who has primarily written in English, this book marks my first publication in the Malay language. It is titled ‘Allama Muhammad Iqbal: Teori Personaliti dan Pembinaan Ego (Khudi)’. The book is the result of a collaborative research project between Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). This time, my co-researcher, Assoc. Dr. Shaik Abdullah Hassan Mydin, joined me in this research project on Iqbal. The book will be published by Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia. Madam Nurul Asyqin Kamarun Baharen, who heads the publishing unit at USM, showed great interest in bringing this book to publication. Writing an academic book is never an easy undertaking, and it took us two years to bring this work to fruition. The main challenge was converting Indonesian expressions into acceptable local Malay language while preserving the intended meaning and academic quality of the text. Ever since I joined IIUM as a member of its academic staff and as a humble Iqbalian researcher, I have made it my mission to introduce Iqbal, primarily to undergraduate students. However, my research on Iqbal dates back to my undergraduate years at IAIN Ar-Raniry in Aceh, now known as Universitas Islam Negeri Ar-Raniry (UIN Ar-Raniry), Banda Aceh, Indonesia.
