چکیده:
The emergence of Iranology within the heart of Orientalism has a direct relationship with the tensions between the West and the East. This confrontation is evident in classical Western works up until the prevalence of Orientalism in recent centuries. The West, the founder of Orientalism, looks at the Eastern world through the lens of the 'Other,' manifesting an undeniable relationship between colonialism and Orientalism. Therefore, Orientalism by Easterners can be considered a form of self-knowledge and a rejection of the West's supremacist view. One of the founders and those who paid attention to the East and Iran, not as an 'Other' but as a 'Self,' can be considered Allameh Mohammad Iqbal. Iqbal's philosophy of selfhood is the only remedy for rebuilding and strengthening the personality of colonized Easterners, which is based on the foundations of Islam and Iranian culture; therefore, he chooses the Persian language to express his lofty thoughts and selects Rumi as his spiritual guide, expressing love for Iran throughout all his works. Iqbal is an Iranologist in the true sense because he did not settle for mere knowledge and practically applied this understanding in his works, leading millions of people in the Indian subcontinent, and especially Pakistan, to pay renewed attention to the language and culture of Iran. This research attempts, using a descriptive-analytical method, to prove Iqbal's status as an Iranologist within the framework of his philosophy of selfhood while introducing the Iranological aspects of his works and evaluating the impact of his Iranology on the expansion of Iranian studies in the Indian subcontinent.

Iqbal's philosophy of selfhood is the only remedy for rebuilding and strengthening the personality of colonized Eastern individuals, which is based on the foundations of Islam and Iranian culture; therefore, he chooses the Persian language to express his lofty thoughts, selects Rumi as his spiritual guide and mentor, and loves Iran throughout all his works.
Iqbal's selfhood is the Eastern world, the same world that the West calls the "other"; for this reason, Iqbal's Iranology takes shape for the purpose of attaining the values and ideals of the Orient, and in his thought, Iran is the center of the Eastern world; it is for this reason that he chooses Iranian civilization, the Iranian language, Iranian mysticism, and Iranian literature to achieve self-awareness.
He emphasizes that: To rely on nothing but oneself / Is a magical way of the Westerners It is infidel (Ibid, 370) Iqbal's Works and Iranology Rumi Studies: Jalaluddin Muhammad Balkhi, through his poetry, including the Masnavi-e Ma'navi and Ghazals, has been able to become an attraction for the hearts and souls of the Persian-speaking people of the Indian subcontinent and Pakistan, and expand his spiritual and mystical thought there.
One of these fields is his influence on the expansion of Iranian studies in the Indian subcontinent and Pakistan, which is due to his attention to the culture and civilization of Iran and his choice of the Persian language to express his political and philosophical thoughts.
