\u00a0<\/strong>Iqbal\u2019s range, quality, and quantity are truly impressive. Apart from Urdu, he also wrote prodigiously in Persian and is regarded as one of the most important poets of modern India. In addition to his indubitable genius as a poet, Iqbal is also considered by many as a very important thinker and philosopher.<\/p>\n

His legacy endures in the country (Pakistan) he is believed by many to have envisioned. However his recognition and influence go far beyond his country as his thoughts and poetry have made him a cultural icon for many around the Muslim world. His revitalizing philosophy has inspired many leading figures.<\/p>\n

Questions regarding the coherence of Iqbal\u2019s views \u2013questions such as whether these views could all be taken together without contradiction, whether readers should discredit any particular view if proven incoherent or incompatible with others, and the like\u2013 continue to draw the attention of more objective historians and philosophers. Taking this approach, however, risks confusing Iqbal\u2019s legend as a poet with what is significant for one in his philosophical thought.<\/p>\n

While I do not necessarily subscribe to Iqbal\u2019s ideology and his political philosophy, I have great admiration for him as a poet and as a colossal literary figure. I do not confuse between the two \u2018Iqbals\u2019 as either of them neither diminishes nor augments the other. The advent of Moharram each year particularly reminds me of Iqbal because Iqbal\u2019s inspiration from Karbala transcends well beyond any sectarian confines, as does Iqbal himself. Iqbal propagates a universal message to mankind to emulate Imam Hussain who sacrificed his life at the altar of Truth. Indeed, Imam Hussain\u2019s heritage is for all noble people and cannot be reduced to one Muslim sect or the other.<\/p>\n

Here is some of Iqbal\u2019s poetry about Imam Hussain.<\/p>\n

Haqeeqat e abadi hey maqaam e Shabbiri<\/p>\n

\u0628\u062f\u0644\u062a\u06d2 \u0631\u06c1\u06cc\u06ba \u06c1\u06cc\u06ba \u0627\u0646\u062f\u0627\u0632 \u06a9\u0648\u0641\u06cc \u0648 \u0634\u0627\u0645\u06cc<\/p>\n

Hussain (AS) was the symbol of devotion to truth and love for God. The inspiring glory of\u00a0 his martyrdom is an eternal certainty that will forever provide guidance to\u00a0\"Allamadrive our conduct. It represents truth that never changes. Whereas the shenanigans of the ilk that ruled Kufa and Syria continue to change garbs and use new tricks to gain ascendency through deceit, expediency, manoeuvring, and cruelty.<\/p>\n

Amidst many sterling examples that adorn the human history, no one has exercised his right to say NO with so much courage and resolve as Hussain. Hussain showed that our rights and freedom go hand in hand with our duty and dignity. There are so many occasions in everyday life that make us confront the relation between the goods of life and human dignity and we can always draw on Karbala\u2019s unique capacity for moral guidance and spiritual awakening bestowing intrinsic dignity and integrity upon the moment in question and upon our life overall.<\/p>\n

Iqbal says that Hussain exemplifies empowerment without worldly riches and might. This is the power of truth represented by a noble life and death rather than by the ways of a hermit seeking seclusion. Hussain\u2019s conduct and nobility constitute a proud heritage for the Muslims. It is incumbent upon Muslims to follow Hussain in always adhering to truth and justice when making choices in life\u2019s situations. It is only in honouring Hussain\u2019s legacy of courage, sacrifice, and steadfastness that Muslims can find real glory in this world and hereafter.<\/p>\n

Iqbal says the narrative of Kaba is simple, straightforward, and interesting. It starts with Prophet Ismail, who laid the first stone and suffered great pains in its construction. He offered for sacrifice his own life but the sacrifice was not completed as he was replaced by a ram and according to the Holy Quran the great sacrifice or Zibh-e \u2018Azim was to come later and be completed by one of his descendants, Hussain. In between we had a number of prophets till Prophet Mohammad rid it of idols and restored its purity. Then came Hussain, as the culmination of Zibh e Azim, who sacrificed his life and preserved the glory of Kaba for eternity.<\/p>\n

\u06a9\u06cc\u0627 \u062f\u0631 \u0645\u0642\u0635\u062f \u0646\u0627 \u062f\u06cc\u0646\u06af\u06d2 \u0633\u0627\u0642\u06cc \u06a9\u0648\u062b\u0631 \u0645\u062c\u06be\u06d2<\/p>\n

Not only does Iqbal cry over the Karbala\u2019s tragedy and Imam Hussain but he also sees it as a source of his salvation. He believes that Saqi-e-Kausar (Lord of Cistern in Paradise), Prophet Muhammad, loves those who weep for Imam Hussain and thus would also fulfil Iqbal\u2019s heart\u2019s desire.<\/p>\n

While the sand of Iraq is avidly looking forward to kiss Hussain\u2019s feet, the land of Hijaz is miserable because Hussain is departing from it. Iqbal movingly describes the fields of Hijaz as thirsty as an allegory of Hussain\u2019s thirst in Karbala. Then Iqbal says that every age has its own Kufa and Syria and a dignified human existence calls for upholding the values defended with his blood by Hussain.<\/p>\n

\u0628\u0627 \u0645\u0646 \u0645\u0627\u06cc\u0627 \u06a9\u06c1 \u0645\u0633\u0644\u06a9 \u0634\u0628\u06cc\u0631 \u0622\u0631\u0632\u0648\u0633\u062a<\/p>\n

Iqbal expresses an ardent longing to follow Hussain\u2019s conduct. However he knows what his desire entails in terms of trials and tribulations. Only someone who is voluntarily willing to embrace injury and death should envisage treading on the path of Hussain. Hussain and the group of his heroic companions, including women and children, rose to defend the principles that should be dear to all noble souls. His sacrifice teaches all of us a lesson in adhering to truth and our duty in the face of all harm and adversity. It is only if we are willing to lose everything that we can be truly free.<\/p>\n

Iqbal\u2019s says that Fatima\u2019s son is the leader of the lovers of God and the insuperable tree from the garden of Prophet.<\/p>\n

While blissfully emphasizing the unmatchable distinction of Imam Hussain, Iqbal says that whereas his illustrious father (Ali) was the first letter of the Quran*, Zibh e Azim in the Quran means the sacrifice of Imam Hussain.<\/p>\n

*Here Iqbal refers to tradition that quotes Hazrat Ali as saying: \u201cWhat is in the Holy Qur\u2019an is in the first chapter (Surah Fatiha); what is in this surah (chapter) is in the first verse (Bismillah); what is in Bismillah is in its first letter (Ba); what is in ba is in the dot below it and verily I am the dot below ba\u201d.<\/p>\n

Iqbal says that it is because of Imam Hussain\u2019s sacrifice that the love with highest sense of dignity has been lifted to the zenith of honour. It owes its colour and glow to Hussain\u2019s blood.<\/p>\n

Iqbal says that truth continues to live on by virtue of the strength imparted to it by Imam Hussain, thus rendering it immortal. His sacrifice to proclaim right in the face of wrong remains beyond compare in the history. While the wrong may seem to triumph for a while, Imam Hussain has shown that its triumph is always bound to be ephemeral and it invariably meets its end in obliteration.<\/p>\n

Hussain suffered the utmost tribul<\/p>\n

ations and his blood was spilt on the sands of Karbala for the sake of Truth. Hence, Iqbal convincingly concludes, that Hussain laid the foundation of Islam that there is no God except Allah. As the tenets of Islam were being distorted and disfigured Hussain came forward and his blood gave Islam and truth a new life.<\/p>\n

Hussain is the leader of the pious of the world and a source of strength for all the campaigners of justice and deliverance from tyranny in the world. Iqbal thus sees Hussain as a universal icon to inspire and unite all noble people in their pursuit of truth and justice for all. Following Hussain\u2019s immense sacrifice, the path of deliverance \u2013to always differentiate right from wrong- lies open before each of us.

Hussain becomes passion to the tone of life by inspiring courage in us to make truth the core of our being in all circumstances. Hussain empowers the truthful people in their quest to achieve and sustain true freedom. His laying down his life instead of conceding his principles in the face of a tyrant\u2019s demand has set a moral paradigm that remains unequalled in its significance and influence.<\/p>\n

The evil and virtue and truth and deceit came into being with life. These opposing forces have ever since been incompatible and in conflict with each other. The paramount paragons of the eternal tussle between right and wrong were set by the conflict between Moses and Pharaoh and the clash between Imam Hussain and Yazid and are forever personified by the struggle between those who subscribe to the values and principles of Moses and Hussain and those who follow the path of Pharaoh and Yazid.<\/p>\n

Iqbal describes that Hussain\u2019s resolve is as firmly founded as the mighty mountains. He was steadfast in his choice to not plead allegiance to an unjust and cruel ruler and no amount of persuasion and suffering were able to waver him from the right path.<\/p>\n

Iqbal says that Hussain\u2019s sword was devoted exclusively to upholding the honour of his faith. Hussain\u2019s sole purpose in defying Yazid\u2019s orders was to defend God\u2019s word. It is clear that if Hussain had not stood up to Yazid, Yazid would have felt completely uninhibited to manipulate and sabotage the dictums of Islam in accordance with his wantonness. Hussain\u2019s stand and tribulation stirred the soul of people and nourished a spirit of valour and sacrifice for truth that continues to flourish from the time of Karbala.<\/p>\n

Iqbal explains that Hussain in Karbala is the true construal of Prophets Ibrahim and Ismail\u2019s episode, which in fact was only a prelude to the epitome of sacrifice that was wrought in Karbala by the progeny of Prophet Muhammad with its blood.\u00a0 As we know when Prophet Ibrahim prepared to sacrifice his son Ismail in the way of God, God saved Ismail and sent a lamb to be sacrificed instead. God said Ismail\u2019s sacrifice is being replaced with the \u2018Zibh e Azim\u2019, The Grand Slaughter. The exact words of God are: \u201cwa fadainaho be Zibhin Azim\u201d (37-107) (Translation: And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice \u2013 Yusuf Ali). Iqbal here echoes numerous foremost Muslim scholars (for example, Shah Wali-ullah, in Sirrush Shahadaytan) in describing that \u2018Zibhin Azim\u2019 in the Quran denotes Imam Hussain\u2019s sacrifice in Karbala.<\/p>\n

The entire land around Hussain abounded with his enemies like a desert bursting with sand. Whereas, Hussain only had very few companions (72) barely, adding up to equal the numerical summation of the alphabets in \u2018Yazdaa\u2019n\u2019 \u2013 a word that means God.<\/p>\n

Iqbal here alludes to an event stated by Tirmizi and others. Once Imam Hussain mounted the shoulders of his grandfather, the Holy Prophet. Somebody said, \u201cWhat a good carriage it is!\u201d The Prophet said, \u201cAnd what a good rider it is!\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Iqbal mentions this event to show what an immense value the Holy Prophet placed on his love towards his grandson.<\/p>\n

Here Iqbal talks about the status of Hussain, stating that among the followers of the Prophet, Imam Hussain enjoys the same position as the verses of Qul Huwallah in the Quran. Just as Qul Huwallah (Say that He is One) is the most and absolutely unambiguous and definite commandment in the Quran,\u00a0 Imam Hussain distinguishes himself among the followers of the Prophet through his immovable conviction and allegiance to truth.<\/p>\n

Iqbal says that when the Muslim\u2019s polity severed its relation with the injunctions of the Holy Qur\u2019an it subjugated the truth and freedom. Whole social order was besmirched and nobody could utter a word against the tyrant rulers and their regime. And then came Hussain, who rose like a cloud carrying blessed rain of mercy under his feet. It poured blessings on the arid sands of Karbala, transforming that desert into a blooming garden of truth and humanity. Thus Hussain was undoubtedly the saviour of freedom and Karbala has become an eternal symbol and inspiration for struggle against tyranny. Iqbal says that Imam Hussain uprooted despotism forever and his surging blood has nourished a timeless blossom of truth and freedom.<\/p>\n

Iqbal explains that Imam Hussain\u2019s only aim in refusing to swear allegiance to Yazid was to uphold the truth. It is borne out by the fact that when he left Medina for Mecca, he only had a small band of his kith and kin, including his sisters and children, one of whom was just a few days old. Some of his companions were more than eighty years old. If he had envisaged raging a political battle or struggle, he would not have taken such people along with him.<\/p>\n

Imam Hussain\u2019s sword of \u2018NO\u2019 took out the blood from the followers of oppressive tyranny. He stamped the mark of God\u2019s unity in the desert of Karbala and thus wrought the narrative of our salvation. In fact we have learnt the true meanings and intent of the Quran from Hussain, who lived by its code of truth and principles in its entirety. The flames of truth and the love for God blazing in our hearts owe their warmth to the fire lit by Hussain.<\/p>\n

Iqbal says that kingly grandeur gained through political battles is but temporary. The pomp and vanity of the thrones of Syria and Baghdad which were once seats of mighty kings are indeed no more. Nobody remembers the splendour of Granada which was the centre of the Muslim monarchy in Spain. But every fibre in me still responds to Hussain\u2019s call in Karbala and his message continues to nourish our faith.<\/p>\n

This couplet eloquently portrays Iqbal\u2019s love for and faith in Imam Hussain. Iqbal so tenderly addresses himself to the breeze, which proverbially carries the message of the lover to the beloved in a far off place. Iqbal asks the breeze to carry his tears, as he weeps for Imam Hussain, to the sacred soil of Karbala so as to place them on the grave of Imam Hussain.<\/p>\n
