Abstract

In order to examine the anti-Westernism in the works of Jalal al-Ahmad and Iqbal-lahori, we need to get the concept of the West and Westernization in their works. Jalal al-Ahmad The situation of the society in the day depicts Iran during its stories, especially in the book of Westernization and in the service and betrayal of intellectuals of the West and the way out of this problem. He regards Westminster as a disease and sees it as internal and external factors, and sees the way out of the disease in returning to self, reforming the intellectual, and coming to the scene of clergy. One should not imagine that glory is opposite to technology and progress, but he wants technology and car along with a national identity without dependence, and believes that the infrastructure and the car must first be provided to enter the technology and the car. Iqbal Lahouri, in the poetry book and the book on the revival of religious thought in Islam, criticizes radical rationality in the West, and philosophers like Nietzsche and his atheistic thoughts criticize him. And along with it, the Muslims are called for thought and self-belief. Iqbal is worried about the Muslim community and does not want to be fooled by appearances, but with the knowledge of self-esteem and the progress of the lost dignity and to rebuild their religion and culture. Iqbal chooses to express his thoughts and thoughts in Dari language, but it should be noted that Persian is not the mother tongue of Iqbal and he learns Persian by studying the works of Persian language poets. Therefore, his poetry does not have the necessary complexity and he uses this language to publish his ideas and thoughts.
