Allama Iqbal has had the privilege of presenting Islam as a code of life in the present age, which has the ability and energy to guide man in every age, intellectually, academically, and practically. He first considered Islam as a living system of life through his own faith and knowledge and then engaged in the continuous struggle to popularize this thought through his art. A general perception about the thoughts of poets is that they have attraction, but they are not enough to give strength and energy to face the facts of life. Allama Iqbal proved this idea wrong. He was not only a great poet, but also a thinker of a very high level, but by the grace of Allah, he had completely subordinated his thought and art to the energy of his faith.
The establishment of Pakistan is an event of exceptional importance in the history of Muslims and the energy of Iqbal’s thought and the honesty and integrity of the leadership of Quaid-e-Azam have played a key role in the establishment of Pakistan. The Muslims of the subcontinent had to go through trials, but those trials did not become a source of low courage but a source of new determination. Scholars, intellectuals, and political leaders have all played an effective and positive role in keeping the religious consciousness awake among Muslims, but Iqbal’s role in determining the destination and then achieving it through unity of thought and action under the spirit of faith Wisdom plays a key role. While Iqbal was a great poet and a thinker of the same level, his sermons, especially the sermons of madrasahs, have played a very effective role in the history of our intellectual awakening, and then there is also the fact that “what comes from the heart has an effect.” “. Iqbal’s indecisiveness in his heart is fully expressed in his thought and art!
اسی کشمکش میں گزریں میری زندگی کی راتیں
کبھی سوز و ساز رومی کبھی پیچ و تاب ورازی
The nights of my life were spent in this struggle
Sometimes inflammatory Roman, sometimes reflexive
His anxiety was not limited. He was seeing that the human being who is going through the stages of rich material evolution is deprived of the real light which makes him acquainted with the secret of life.
ڈھونڈھنے والا ستاروں کی گزر گاہوں کا
اپنے افکار کی دنیا میں سفر کر نہ سکا
انہی حکمت کے خم و پیچ میں الجھا ایسا
آج تک فیصلۂ نفع و ضرر کرنہ سکا
جس نے سورج کی شعاعوں کو گرفتار کیا
زندگی کی شبِ تاریک سحر کر نہ سکا
A seeker of the interstellar passages
He could not travel in the world of his thoughts
Confused in the twists and turns of the same wisdom
Until today, he could not make a decision about profit and loss
Who caught the rays of the sun
The dark night of life could not charm
This is the greatest tragedy of modern man that:
ہو فکر اگر خام تو آزادیٔ افک
انساں کو حیران بنانے کا طریقہ
Be worried, if raw, then freedom of thought
How to surprise a man
The energy of faith gave Iqbal a way of thinking about prosperity and prosperity for all humanity, but for this he also needed a practical example, and he believed that humanity cannot find peace and security anywhere else except Islam, that is why the present age I wished for the establishment of such a collective system which would become a source of peace and security for all humanity without religion and nation and for this purpose, the wish for the establishment of a free and independent government of Muslims in the subcontinent became their goal because they This fact was realized, but the best manifestation of the unity and good power of Islam has taken place in the subcontinent. Because the basis of Iqbal’s thought and art was on the energy of faith, there is a deep inner connection in it. They are the bearers of respect for humanity because Allah Almighty created every human being as “respectable” as possible. Under this principle, faith in the unity of the human race becomes necessary and dead thoughts and actions that are contrary to this unity become a means of fulfilling the objectives of the false powers.
Allama Iqbal is not just attached to Islam on emotional basis, that attachment is based on deep knowledge and historical consciousness. Allama Iqbal has rightly said that Islam is not a religion but a state and if considered, this is a matter of fundamental importance. Believers of other religions of the world keep all matters of life separate from their religious beliefs, this is their compulsion. From these thoughts and actions which they consider to be the basis of religion, these people have no influence in the matters and problems of life. They don’t get guidance, that’s why they have divided life into two parts, separate religion, and separate state. Islam has been given in the form of a complete state system. This is the reason why there is no leadership in Islam, because where there is leadership, secularism will inevitably come.
Social life cannot exist without the system of government. When Quaid-i-Azam said this, he meant that there is no separate concept of religious leadership in Islam, but Islam is a complete system of life and a system of state. This fact is based on the understanding of the system of Islam and Both Iqbal’s sermons and his poetry have a rich reflection of this. Quaid-e-Azam’s words “My Guide and Philosopher” for Allama Iqbal had a real meaning. With the establishment of Pakistan, many special responsibilities have been imposed on all of us. The establishment of Pakistan is not an “accident or coincidence” of history. The establishment of this country is a symbol of the revival of Islam at the global level in the real sense.
This is our energy, and this is also the cause of our problems. We should not only understand this fact and our responsibilities in its background, but also keep it in front of us at all times at every level. Our intellectual, academic, and historical assets are many. Such wealth is not available to any other nation in the world and the characteristic of this wealth is that it is not a part of history, it can act as a campaign for our thoughts and actions in every era. The establishment of Pakistan itself, its stability and its regional and geographical importance is the biggest clear proof of this fact.
Allama Iqbal’s birthday or death day is becoming a mere ritual payment for us. Ritual is also important because it becomes a means to reach the truth, but it should be a reason for our attention that why the memories of Quaid-e-Azam, Allama Iqbal and other leaders are becoming rituals. Just as we take care of our physical health, we should always take care of our “faith health”, because without faith, the bodies of man and beast are the same.
May the name of my Lord be the one who has placed the standard of honor in piety
Depressed and worried Baba Iqbal remembered again!
آزاد کی رگ سخت ہے مانندِ رگ سنگ
محکوم کی رگ نرم ہے ما نند رگ تاک
محکوم کا د ل مردہ و افسردہ و نومید
آزاد کا دل زندہ و پرسوز و طرب ناک
The vein of a free man is as hard as a vein of stone
The vein of the subjugated is soft, like the vein of the weak
The heart of the subjugated is dead, depressed, and hopeless
A free man’s heart is lively and cheerful
