What fundamental idea does Iqbal associate with the concept of ‘Ummah’?

Explanation

Allama Muhammad Iqbal, a renowned Muslim philosopher and poet, highlighted 'Khudi'—meaning selfhood or self-realization—as the core principle underlying the unity and vitality of the Ummah (Muslim community). The idea of Asabiyyah, or group solidarity, belongs to Ibn Khaldun and is not central to Iqbal’s concept of Ummah. Similarly, focusing solely on individuality does not capture Iqbal’s broader vision of communal cohesion.
