I would like to see the Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, Sind and Baluchistan amalgamated into a single State.

From your past emerges the present, and from the present is born your future.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
Plants and minerals are bound to predestination. The faithful is only bound to the Divine orders.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
The religion of that prophet [Karl Marx] who knew not the truth, is founded upon equality of the belly.
Muhammad Iqbal

Islam is itself destiny and will not suffer destiny.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
Words, without power, is mere philosophy.
Muhammad Iqbal

The soul is neither inside nor outside the body neither proximate to nor separate from it.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
A wrong concept misleads the understanding a wrong deed degrades the whole man, and may eventually demolish the structure of the human ego.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
It is the lot of man to share in the deeper aspirations of the universe around him and to share his own destiny as well as that of the universe, now by adjusting himself to its forces, now by putting the whole of his energy to his own ends and purposes.
Muhammad Iqbal
