It is absolutely certain that God does exist.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Islam is itself destiny and will not suffer destiny.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
I have seen the movement of the sinews of the sky, And the blood coursing in the veins of the moon.
Muhammad Iqbal

The alchemist of the West has turned stone into glass But my alchemy has transmuted glass into flint Pharaohs of today have stalked me in vain
Muhammad Iqbal

The wing of the Falcon brings to the king, the wing if the crow brings him to the cemetery.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
We have strayed away from God, and He is in quest of us Like us, He is humble and is a prisoner of desire: He is hidden in every atom, and yet is a stranger to us: He is revealed in the moonlight, and in the embrace of houses.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
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
Image
Vision without power does bring moral elevation but cannot give a lasting culture.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
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
Image
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
Image
If faith is lost, there is no security and there is no life for him who does not adhere to religion.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
Nations are born in the hearts of poets, they prosper and die in the hands of politicians.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
I am a hidden meaning made to defy. The grasp of words, and walk away With free will and destiny. As living, revolutionary clay.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
The religion of that prophet [Karl Marx] who knew not the truth, is founded upon equality of the belly.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
I have never considered myself a poet. Therefore, I am not a rival of anyone, and I do not consider anybody my rival.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
I tell you the sign of a believer When Death comes, there is a smile on his lips
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
In the first period religious life appears as a form of discipline which the individual or a whole people must accept as an unconditional command without any rational understanding of the ultimate meaning and purpose of that command.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
Why hast thou made me born in this country, The inhabitant of which is satisfied with being a slave?
Muhammad Iqbal
