If you are interested in a book consisting of Iqbal’s poetry about Sufism, then this is the perfect book for you. It has been designed for everyone who wants to cherish the poetry of Iqbal but is not acquainted with Urdu or Persian. In the realm of Faqr, one has to die before death i.e. the death of self (nafs) is eternal life for the soul. It is where the fire of Divine love circles one's inward such that the passion takes the person to behold the Reality. The litany that does it all is in reality the greatest name of Allah (Ism al-Azam or Ism-e-Allah Zaat) but it works when the blessed hands of the perfect spiritual guide grant it who is the Universal Divine Man (Mard-e-Mumin or al-Insan al-Kamil). He is hidden in the maze of this world where one has to tear the veils of loving anyone other than Allah. To reach the Divine, first one has to reach his spiritual court. Iqbal, the sagacious philosopher’s poetry is brimming with all of it. The book in hand not only has the original poetry in Urdu and Persian but for ease of readers its transliteration is also written along with a detailed explanation in English. Iqbal’s point of view is parallel to many other Sufis who are also quoted. #sultanulashiqeen #sultanulashiqeenbooks #sultanulfaqrpublications #faqreiqbal #iqbalandfaqr #allamaiqbal #poetryofiqbal #iqbalpoetry #allamaiqbalpoetry #iqbal #shayaremashriq #explanationofiqbalpoetry #allamaiqbalpoetryinenglish

Allama Mohammad Iqbal, whom Sarojini Naidu called the ‘Poet laureate of Asia’, remains a controversial figure in the history of the Indian subcontinent. On the one hand, he is considered the ‘Spiritual Father of Pakistan’. On the other, his message of Eastern revivalism places him in the ranks of the twentieth century’s major intellectuals. Iqbal’s tragedy was that after his death, he was made the national poet of Pakistan and largely ignored in India. In his time, he was lauded as much as Tagore, but today India celebrates Tagore while Iqbal has been banished from her consciousness. This meticulously researched biography will redress that erasure. This is the story of Iqbal’s evolution as a poet, philosopher and politician. While his role in the struggle for India’s freedom and the Pakistan movement are well known, not much is known about his personal life. This book highlights some of the least known facets of the poet’s life: how did a nationalist poet transform into a poet of Islamic revivalism and global revolution? How did three years in Europe change Iqbal’s political and philosophical outlook? Why did he start writing in Persian during his stay in Europe? Why did his first marriage fail and how did his romantic relationships affect him? What exactly was the poet’s role in bringing about Partition? Written with the passion of an ardent devotee, Zafar Anjum’s Iqbal answers all of these questions—and many more—in this carefully told biography.

Allama Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938), also known as the 'Poet of the East', earned a doctorate in philosophy from the Ludwig-Maximillian University at Munich, and wrote his most evocative poems in Urdu, a language that was not his mother tongue. He counted Jawaharlal Nehru as one of his fans, and earned Mahatma Gandhi's respect as well. His funeral was attended by 70,000 people, which included colonialists and freedom fighters, socialist atheists and Islamic fundamentalists, Indian nationalists and Muslim Leaguers, reflecting his ability to defy categorization. The book is a relatively short volume that introduces Iqbal to the millennial generation. It is written in a relatively contemporary language, similar to Ghalib: A Thousand Desires. The bulk of the book will comprise a temporal and intellectual biography of Iqbal, while the rest will include a detailed discussion of one of Iqbal's poems, a translation of some of his well-known poems, and a sampling of some of his famous verses. It will not for the Iqbal-expert or the Urdu-expert, but for a relative newcomer.
