TRIBUTE TO IQBAL (ra) – Nov. 09, 2014

Assalam-o-Alaikum!

As a Pakistani nation which is part of Muslim Ummah, we cannot “Rise” without Iqbal’s (ra) philosophies and many Islamic scholars of our region also recognize that. Due to failed internet connection for three days, this tribute couldn’t be paid earlier on the right occasion. Below please find some couplets from Iqbal (ra), followed by video links with views by some prominent personalities of Pakistan. It is strongly urged that you go through these videos as they address some challenges we are facing as a nation today:

اس قوم کو شمشير کی حاجت نہيں رہتی

ہو جس کے جوانوں کی خودی صورت فولاد

کافر ہے مسلماں تو نہ شاہي نہ فقيري

مومن ہے تو کرتا ہے فقيري ميں بھي شاہي
کافر ہے تو شمشير پہ کرتا ہے بھروسا
مومن ہے تو بے تيغ بھي لڑتا ہے سپاہي
کافر ہے تو ہے تابع تقدير مسلماں
مومن ہے تو وہ آپ ہے تقدير الہي
