Spiritual Connection of Allama Muhammad Iqbal & Dream of Pakistan An understanding by Farasat Saeed

Spiritual connection of iqbal
““If there had been no
Iqbal, there might well have been no Pakistan”
The dream Allama Muhammad Iqbal saw for Pakistan became reality in form of
Pakistan in 1947.
Iqbal was spiritual, intellectual founder of Pakistan; a greatest thinker who
brought about a paradigm shift in the consciousness of the Muslims of Sub
Continent and transformed their destiny. He was a poet, scholar, philosopher, a
spiritual wonder, visionary, and reformer. Iqbal is unmatched in his versatility
and breadth of his knowledge and vision.
It was not only a dream but was destined to be executed with Almighty “ALLAH’s
approval and Pakistan came into being. “It was outcome of deep thinking, feeling
of creativity, spirituality that led Iqbal to exercise phenomenal influence over
Muslims.
He is the most outstanding poet-philosopher of the world. He had a profound
understanding of the integrated vision of the Quran which he made the basis of
his philosophy. Iqbal was a visionary philosopher and not a politician. He
contributed greatly to the rallying of Muslims under the banner upheld by the
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah who then became founder of Pakistan in 1947.
Point to make:
• I now have great understanding of what spiritual / psychic powers Iqbal
enjoyed that he was blessed with. What he imagined; attracted all events,
situations, people that led to creation of Pakistan. Goals accomplished.
• I can also confidently say that Iqbal’s Dream of Pakistan also benefited
Hindus of Sub continent (India) and got independence after Pakistan. This was as
a by Product. Imagine if Iqbal had dreamed only Pakistan then Hindus of Sub
continent would still have been slaves under British Rule.
