Abstract
In my last article, I explained how my journey of exploring the philosophical ideas of Allama Muhammad Iqbal (1877–1938) began. My student years in Darussalam, Banda Aceh, provided me with the ideal environment to understand the political, social, and intellectual milieu of the Indian Subcontinent during the period when Iqbal was rising to prominence. This foundational understanding enabled me to produce a manuscript on Iqbal. In this article, I would like to narrate how that manuscript eventually opened the door for me to pursue my postgraduate and postdoctoral research. As I mentioned in my previous article, although Drs Ramly Maha graciously accepted the faculty's offer to serve as my research supervisor, it was Drs Hasbi Amiruddin (now well known as Prof. Dr. H. M. Hasbi Amiruddin, M.A.) who first suggested that I transform my basic understanding of Iqbal into a formal research project. At that time, I never imagined that the idea proposed by Prof. Hasbi would take me so far in my academic journey after leaving Aceh.
