This study aims to compare and contrast the religious belief forms of Sun Yat-sen and Muhammad Iqbal, two influential figures from different cultural and religious backgrounds, to understand their approaches towards religion and modernization. Sun Yat-sen advocated for a synthesis of Confucianism and Christianity to modernize China, while Muhammad Iqbal emphasized the revival of Islamic thought to address contemporary challenges faced by Muslims. The study employs a comparative analysis of the religious beliefs, writings, and actions of Sun Yat-sen and Muhammad Iqbal. Primary sources including their works and speeches are analyzed to understand their perspectives on religion and modernity. Both Sun Yat-sen and Muhammad Iqbal recognized the importance of religion in shaping societal values and political ideologies. However, they differed in their approaches, with Sun Yat-sen favoring a synthesis of multiple religions and Iqbal focusing on the revival of Islamic thought. This study suggests further research into the impact of Sun Yat-sen and Muhammad Iqbal's religious beliefs on their respective societies, and encourages exploring how their ideologies continue to influence contemporary discourse on religion and modernization.
