More quotes by Muhammad Iqbal
The Westerners have lost the vision of heaven, they go hunting for the pure spirit in the belly. The pure soul takes not color and scent from the body, and Communism has nothing to do save with the body.
Muhammad Iqbal
Democracy is a system where people are counted not weighed.
Muhammad Iqbal
Nations are born in the hearts of poets, they prosper and die in the hands of politicians.
Muhammad Iqbal
Yet higher religion, which is only a search for a larger life, is essentially experience and recognized the necessity of experience as its foundation long before science learnt to do so.
Muhammad Iqbal
Man is primarily governed by passion and instinct.
Muhammad Iqbal
The spirit of philosophy is one of free inquiry. It suspects all authority. Its function is to trace the uncritical assumptions of human thought to their hiding places, and in this pursuit it may finally end in denial or a frank admission of the incapacity of pure reason to reach the ultimate reality.
Muhammad Iqbal
Indeed, in view of its function, religion stands in greater need of a rational foundation of its ultimate principles than even the dogmas of science.
Muhammad Iqbal
If faith is lost, there is no security and there is no life for him who does not adhere to religion.
Muhammad Iqbal
The revealed and mystic literature of mankind bears ample testimony to the fact that religious experience has been too enduring and dominant in the history of mankind to be rejected as mere illusion. There seems to be no reason, then, to accept the normal level of human experience as fact and reject its other levels as mystical and emotional.
Muhammad Iqbal
Our bread and water are of one table: the progeny of Adam are as a single soul.
Muhammad Iqbal
Destiny is the prison and chain of the ignorant. Understand that destiny like the water of the Nile: Water before the faithful, blood before the unbeliever.
Muhammad Iqbal
It is the mysterious touch of the ideal that animates and sustains the real, and through it alone we can discover and affirm the ideal.
Muhammad Iqbal
The religion of that prophet [Karl Marx] who knew not the truth, is founded upon equality of the belly.
Muhammad Iqbal
I would like to see the Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, Sind and Baluchistan amalgamated into a single State. Self-government within the British Empire, or without the British Empire, the formation of a consolidated North-West Indian Muslim State appears to me to be the final destiny of the Muslims, at least of North-West India.
Muhammad Iqbal
I lead no party I follow no leader. I have given the best part of my life to careful study of Islam, its law and polity, its culture, its history and its literature.
Muhammad Iqbal
Divine life is in touch with the whole universe on the analogy of the soul's contact with the body.
Muhammad Iqbal
Why hast thou made me born in this country, The inhabitant of which is satisfied with being a slave?
Muhammad Iqbal
British physician, West African Countries and Peoples Man's place is higher than the sky. Respect for man is the underlying spirit of civilization.
Muhammad Iqbal
It is absolutely certain that God does exist.
Muhammad Iqbal
Words, without power, is mere philosophy.
Muhammad Iqbal
