Vida
editarNascido e criado em Sialkot, Punjab (atual Paquistão) em uma família étnica da Caxemira, Iqbal estudou em Sialkot e Lahore e, posteriormente, na Inglaterra e na Alemanha. Embora tenha estabelecido uma prática jurídica após retornar, ele se concentrou principalmente em escrever trabalhos acadêmicos sobre política, economia, história, filosofia e religião. Ele é mais conhecido por suas obras poéticas, incluindo Asrar-e-Khudi - que trouxe a cavalaria - Rumuz-e-Bekhudi e o Bang-e-Dara. No Irã, onde ele é conhecido como Iqbāl-e Lāhorī (Iqbal de Lahore), ele é altamente considerado por suas obras persas.
Iqbal foi um forte defensor do renascimento político e espiritual da civilização islâmica em todo o mundo, mas em particular no sul da Ásia; uma série de palestras que proferiu nesse sentido foram publicadas como A Reconstrução do Pensamento Religioso no Islã. Líder da All India Muslim League, ele imaginou - em seu discurso presidencial de 1930 - uma estrutura política separada para os muçulmanos na Índia governada pelos britânicos.[9] Após a criação do Paquistão em 1947, ele foi nomeado o poeta nacional de lá. O aniversário de seu nascimento (Yōm-e Welādat-e Muḥammad Iqbāl) em 9 de novembro é um feriado no Paquistão.[12]

In India, the ghazal and mathnawi forms were adapted in Urdu to express new social and ideological concerns, beginning in the work of the poet Altaf Husayn Hali (1837-1914) and continuing in the poetry of Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938). In the poetry of Iqbal, which he wrote in Persian, to speak to a wider Muslim audience, as well as Urdu, a memory of the past achievements of Islam is combined with a plea for reform. He is considered the greatest Urdu poet of the twentieth century.

Sir Syed Ahmed had brought rationalism and the desire for knowledge and progress to the Indian Muslims; Muhammad Iqbal brought them inspiration and a philosophy. Next to the Quran, there is no single influence upon the consciousness of the Pakistani intelligentsia so powerful as Iqbal’s poetry. In his own time it kindled the enthusiasm of Muslim intellectuals for the values of Islam and rallied the Muslim community once again to the banner of their faith. For this reason Iqbal is looked upon today as the spiritual founder of Pakistan.
