Abstract	The aim of this paper is to highlight the concept of man in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche and Mohammad Iqbal and present the comparative analysis of both philosophers. Nietzsche introduced the idea of Übermensch (Overman or Superman) in his philosophy of human person in which all humans are called to become superman (Übermensch). For Nietzsche the exemplary human being is Übermensch which must be crafted through self-realization. As individual man must know, improve and master himself in order to live meaningful and fruitful life. While, Mohammad Iqbal centers his philosophy of human person around the idea of khudi (selfhood). By realizing his khudi man can become perfect man (Insan-i-Kamal). His perfect man is embodiment of divine qualities and characteristics. This paper discusses the thoughts and views of Nietzsche and Iqbal regarding the philosophy of human person.
