Iqbal
is admired as a prominent classical poet by Pakistani, Indian and other
international scholars of literature. Although most well known as a
poet, he has also been acclaimed as a modern Muslim philosopher. His
first poetry book, Asrar-e-Khudi, appeared in the Persian language in
1915, and other books of poetry include Rumuz-i-Bekhudi, Payam-i-Mashriq
and Zabur-i-Ajam. Some of his most well known Urdu works are
Bang-i-Dara, Bal-i-Jibril and Zarb-i Kalim. Along with his Urdu and
Persian poetry, his various Urdu and English lectures and letters have
been very influential in cultural, social, religious and political
disputes over the years. In 1922, he was knighted by King George V,
giving him the title "Sir".
During
his years of studying law and philosophy in England, Iqbal became a
member of the London branch of the All India Muslim League. Later, in
one of his most famous speeches, Iqbal pushed for the creation of a
Muslim state in Northwest India. This took place in his presidential
speech in the league's December 1930 session.He was very close to
Quid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
Iqbal
is known as Shair-e-Mushriq meaning Poet of the East. He is also called
Muffakir-e-Pakistan "The Inceptor of Pakistan", and Hakeem-ul-Ummat
"The Sage of the Ummah". Pakistan has officially recognised him as its
"national poet". In Iran and Afghanistan he is famous as Iqbal-e Lahori
(Iqbal of Lahore), and he is most appreciated for his Persian work.
Sir
Muhammad Iqbal, also known as Allama Iqbal, was a philosopher, poet and
politician in British India who is widely regarded to have inspired the
Pakistan Movement. He is considered one of the most important figures
in Urdu literature, with literary work in both the Urdu and Persian
languages.
Iqbal's
father, Shaikh Noor Mohammad, was a tailor, not formally educated but a
religious man. Iqbal's mother Imam Bibi was a polite and humble woman
who helped the poor and solved the problems of neighbours. She died on
November 9, 1914 in Sialkot. Iqbal loved his mother, and on her death he
expressed his feelings of pathos in a poetic form elegy.
"Who would wait for me anxiously in my native place?
Who would display restlessness if my letter fails to arrive?
I will visit thy grave with this complaint:
Who will now think of me in midnight prayers?
All thy life thy love served me with devotion—
When I became fit to serve thee, thou hast departed."
When
Iqbal was four years old, he was sent to the mosque to learn the Quran.
Later, Syed Mir Hassan, the head of the Madrassa in Sialkot, became his
teacher. Iqbal received the Faculty of Arts diploma from Scotch Mission
College in 1895, where his teacher Hassan was the professor of Arabic.
In the same year Iqbal married Karim Bibi, the daughter of a Gujrati
physician Khan Bahadur Ata Muhammad Khan, through a first arranged
marriage. They had daughter Miraj Begum and son Aftab Iqbal. Later
Iqbal's second marriage was with Sardar Begum mother of Javid Iqbal and
third marriage with Mukhtar Begum in December 1914.
During
first marriage at the same time, Iqbal also began to study philosophy,
English literature and Arabic in Lahore's Government college. He
graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
While
dividing his time between law and poetry, Iqbal had remained active in
the Muslim League. He did not support Indian involvement in World War I,
as well as the Khilafat movement and remained in close touch with
Muslim political leaders such as Maulana Mohammad Ali and Muhammad Ali
Jinnah. He was a critic of the mainstream Indian National Congress,
which he regarded as dominated by Hindus and was disappointed with the
League when during the 1920s, it was absorbed in factional divides
between the pro-British group led by Sir Muhammad Shafi and the centrist
group led by Jinnah.
