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
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

God is not a dead equation!
Muhammad Iqbal

Words, without power, is mere philosophy.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
Human intellect is natures attempt at self criticism
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
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.

I, therefore, demand the formation of a consolidated Muslim State in the best interest of India and Islam.
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

It is the nature of the self to manifest itself, In every atom slumbers the might of the self.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
The truth is that the religious and the scientific processes, though involving different methods, are identical in their final aim. Both aim at reaching the most real.
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
The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something, but to be something.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
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
Image
Divine life is in touch with the whole universe on the analogy of the soul's contact with the body.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
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
Image
Democracy is a system where people are counted not weighed.
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
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
Image
The standpoint of the man who relies on religious experience for capturing Reality must always remain individual and incommunicable.
