Abstract

This research examines the concept of ideal human in Muhammad Iqbal's philosophy of religious existentialism, which emphasizes the nature of human beings as free individuals with the potential to develop towards self-perfection. Iqbal considers the strengthening of the ego (khudi) as the key to achieving ideal humanity. This research also explores the role of freedom, religion, and spiritual values in the formation of an authentic self. This research uses a qualitative approach with a library research method, which is a research process that involves collecting and analyzing data from various textual sources, such as books, journals, articles, papers, and other library materials relevant to the Concept of Insan Kamil in the Philosophy of Religious Existentialism. This research concludes that Iqbal's thought offers insight into how individuals can actualize their potential to achieve an authentic life, balanced between freedom and responsibility. The concept of ideal human refers to an individual who achieves perfection through strengthening the ego by balancing the intellectual, spiritual and moral dimensions. Man's relationship with God is at the center of this process, making insan kamil the ideal form of a complete human being.
