For Muhammad Iqbal education is an entire cultural power that affects the lives of individuals and groups of people, which consists of basic principles: the concept of individuality growth, harmony of body and spirit, individual society, creative revolution, role of intellectual, intuition, education of character, social life of Islam and a creative outlook on education. The data collected in this study using qualitative approach method. The analysis conducted by Muhammad Iqbal related to these matters by reestablishing the spirit of intellectualism, the idea of thought initiated by Muhammad Iqbal is still relevant enough to be applied today especially in Indonesia, because education is the global influence of individual or community life to form pious believers or those who are so called well-matured person.
