IQBAL DAY 9th NOV.
IQBAL was not only a great poet,philosopher,intellectual,thinker,politician,educationist,lawyer but more over a great Nationalist & Muslim.His theory and philosophy is known world wide. He was an universal poet. He is recognized and followed as a national poet in Iran. He discovered Mr.Jinnah as a leader of Muslims in India.It was Iqbal who brought back Jinnah to India. He was knowing that only Jinnah can make his dream comes true of an independent homeland for the Muslims of India.There is no doubt about it that he was having spiritual power within himself. Now the question is that how and from where he got all his inspirations and intellectual thinking. Is it from the universities of U.K and Germany from he got his educational degrees. Answer is NO ,NOT AT ALL. Iqbal had mentioned the answer on several occasions in his poetry and i am mentioning one of these.
Kheera na kar saka mujhay jalwa-a-danish-a-farang
Surma hai mere aankh ka khak-a-Madina-o-Najaf
Ghalib had mentioned his source of imaginations by saying that---
"Aatay hain ghaib say ye mazameen khayal main"
But Iqbal was more practical and realistic that's why clearly saying that all he got was from Madina-tul-Ilm and Baab-a-Madina-tul- Ilm , symbolically written as Madina-o-Najaf.
I would like the youth to make themselves capable to read and understand IQBAL.
