Allama Iqbals VISION of 21st century

[WatanDost]

The lion who had emerged from the desert and had toppled the Roman Empire, is, as I am told by the angels, about to get up again (from his sleep)


Whatever the eye is seeing cannot be described by the lips, I am lost in amazement as to what the world will become!, The night will eventually disappear by suns appearance! This garden will be filled with Light of Tauhid (Oneness of God)


Events(incident) as yet folded(hidden) in the scroll of time, Reflect in the mirror of my perception


Tomorrow is still hidden in intention, but its dawn is flashing before my eyes.


Plans will be reversed, destiny will be changed; this is a fact with truth, not fiction of my thought.


My hearts mirror shows me both worlds secrets; I relate exactly what I witness before my eyes.


The same storm is raging today in the souls of Muslim, A Divine secret it is, Not for the lips to utter, Let us see what surfaces from the depths of the deep. Let us see what color, The blue sky changes into.


However the griefs night gives the message of Eids morning, In the darkness of the night, the ray of hope has appeared.


The storm in the West made Muslims Muslims, Pearls are produced in abundance from the very buffetings (shaking) of the sea; The true believers are once more to receive from the court of God; the glory of the Turkamans, the intellects of the Indians (referring Great Muslim conquerors and Mystics of India ), and the eloquence of the Arabs.


Open your eyes and look at the mirror of my words; see a hazy picture of the age(time) to come.


Look into hearts mirror for destiny manifestation; The sky will shine mirror-like with the mornings light; and the nights darkness will be speeding away! The spring breeze will be so melody inspiring; The flower beds silent fragrance will become so melodious! The gardens afflicted (suffered) ones will unite with other afflicted (suffered) ones.

​

 

[WatanDost]

By Men whose eyes see far and wide, new cities shall be founded; Not by old Kufa or Bagdad is my thoughts vision bounded (seeing new cities better than old Kufa and Baghdad times).


The gardener should not be upset by seeing the gardens state; Branches are about to appear from the bunches of buds; The garden will be cleared soon of the waste and trash; The red of the martyrs blood will be producing rose buds; Look a little the color of the sky somewhat red is; This the glowing of the horizon by the rising sun is!


No wonder if the Muslims gain, their ancient glory once again; Sanjars Splendor pomp and state(sovereign authority), the piety(piousness) and faqar of mystics great.


From the heavens comes an answer to our long cries at last: the heavens break their silence, the curtains rise at last! The cloistered (shut off from world) hour is over, the arenas(appear) hour begins; The lightening comes to asunder(apart) those cloudy skies at last! It was too hard to withhold (hold back) the flood of these truths, At last the Qalander revealed (told) the secrets of the Book.


O Zealous (passionate) Faqar, Now your time is going to come! This Frankish soul is stained with the greed of wealth and gold! If Muslim faith offends the West! Let West in its own anger burn; This faith is known by another name 'zealous faqar'


I gleaned (learned) from Jalal-ud-deen Rumis company, One Bold Heart is worth of learned heads the whole tame pack.


The dream which Islam saw of general freedom - Oh Muslim see the interpretation of that dream today.


Your real worth is hidden, other people are yet to see whats true;The Lord of the worlds assembly has yet much need of you.; By your breath lives the world and is kept animate; You are its destined leader, you the star of fate; There is no time to relax, much still remains to be done;You have yet to fully spread the light of God, the only one.


Read again the lesson of truth, of justice and valor! You will be asked to do the work of taking on responsibility for the world.


My grave is like a shrine, for men of thought and courage; I taught poor dust to tower hill-high in air; The beauty of meaning need not be adorned by my craft. Nature does herself incarnadine (care and color) the tulip red(rose)

Though this voice has emerged from Iqbals lips, its source is unknown; The assembly got hopes message as well as became restless for activism.


Lamentation is necessary but now that is over; Now control your heart a little and see the effect of the lament.

​

Rise, for a new age dawns; Your era begins in East and West.​

Allah has faith in Momins might and will; the machines of Europe Satans alliance; Who knows the nations fates?but signs abound(enough), if Muslims are wakeful.


Intellect is your shield, Love is your sword; My dervish ! Your vice-regency (Khilafat) is world-conquering; Your Takbir like fire for Godlessness is; If you are Muslim your prudence your destiny is; If you are loyal to Muhammad (PBUH) we are yours; This universe is nothing, the Tablet and the Pen are yours.


Take not my rhymes for poet's art; I know the secrets of nature.

Almost hundred years have passed since Iqbal wrote this poetry and yet
Muslims and Islam lay at the feet of west.
Where are the signs of any revival?
Neel ke sahil se lakar tabakhak-e Kashghar
Zilat hi zilat
Gloom hi gloom he

I am sorry to say my friend but for those who see only gloom can only get gloom, to achieve success you must first believe in it truly and firmly and then work for it.

P.S : Now do not give me a history lesson of our failures and mistakes and conditions as Pakistanies or muslims, i know it very well. Thanks :)

It's not my gloom but of Islamic world, I remain optimistic about Allah's Mercy.
No lectures, I promise!

Letters: Unity of Muslims & Renaissance by Allama Iqbal

Letters: Unity of Muslims & Renaissance by Allama Iqbal

​

Read Allama Iqbal views about Great Future of Muslims and Islamic Renaissance, from his Letters to Friend, Brother Shaikh Atta Muhammad (2nd letter), Father and Sister

(Excerpts from Book: Zinda Rood by his son Javed Iqbal)
English Translation is below.

​

English Translation of Above Extracts:​

Allama Iqbal was not happy on growth of western nationalism in Muslim states. Despite of this, he had a belief that such circumstances will be built in future when muslim nations will left with no option except to unite.

During this time(1920s), he wrote a letter to Prof. Muhammad Akbar Muneer:
If Western and Middle Asian Muslim Nations agree to unite then their survival will be possible and if their clashes couldnt be settled then Good bye(chaos/turmoil) for them. Articles on unity are heavily needed. Its my religious belief that Mulsims will unite and world will view islamic glory once again. Excitement in hearts are amazing.

Iqbal had so much faith about Islamic Renaissance and splendor in near future that he wanted to be alive for seeing that time with his eyes.


In 28 September, 1922, Iqbal wrote a letter to his brother:
I am praying for you, your health will be better with the grace of God. Keep using the treatment daily which I told u. It is not based on mere philosophical thoughts rather it on a sudden realization (revelation) which God has graciously bestowed upon me about human heart (innermost). If some thoughts are depressing you, then throw them out of your heart, God will take away your problems and will bless you. If you are still fed up of life then just a thought that a very good time is coming in near future for Islam, you should take care of your health so that you can see a part of that great era with ur own eyes. Its 14 or 16 years ago, when I realized that era in Englands land. From that time till now I am praying from God to give me life to see that era.


In 3 June, 1920, Iqbal wrote a letter to his Father, he said:
Man is hunting man and a nation is an enemy of other nation. This is darkest time ever but the end result of this darkness is white(bright). Whats strange if God will give his instant favor (to Muslims) and once again humanity be blessed with the divine light of Holy Prophet Muhammad(PBUM). Without a great personality, survival of this unfortunate world is very little (or cant be seen)


In 8 December, 1919, Iqbal wrote a letter to his Sister Kareem Bi, he said:
I too have this faith that God will bless Muslims with the new Life, and the Nation who has protected his religion till today, he will never disgrace and demolish them. Muslims' best sword is Dua (pray to God) so it should be done all the time and Darood Sharif should be sent on Holy Prophet (PBUM). Whats strange, God listen to this Ummahs Dua and do his mercy on their poverty
