By analyzing the philosophical depth in his works, the research aims to uncover principles that can inform diplomatic practices rooted in justice, coexistence, and mutual respect. The study adopts a qualitative methodology, employing thematic analysis to interpret Iqbal’s philosophical and literary contributions. A proposed framework, the “Ethical Diplomacy Model,” emphasizes moral leadership, cultural unity, and cross-cultural dialogue as central elements for fostering international cooperation. This model integrates Iqbal's emphasis on justice, ethical governance, and respect for diversity to create a paradigm for sustainable global relations. The findings reveal the enduring relevance of Iqbal’s thought in promoting harmony and addressing fragmentation in today’s world. This research concludes by highlighting the potential of Iqbal’s philosophy to inspire innovative approaches to diplomacy and global governance in the modern era.
