Abstract:: There are so many long debates on the puzzle of individual and society. Some people favor that individual is the basic unit of society so main focus should be individual. Others favor the main importance of the society. The purpose of this paper is to address these two extremes. The paper addresses these questions: Is the controversy of individual and society a solvable issue or not? What are those social aspects which make an individual civilized? Can individual survive as a mere individual having no connection with any society? What are the benefits which an individual can only have from a society? All these questions will be analyzed with the thought of Allama Muhammad Iqbal that how he deals with the relationship of individual and society
