ALLAMA IQBAL AND IDEALOGY OF PAKISTAN

INTRODUCTION Allama Iqbal never used the work Pakistan in his speeches but in all his speeches he demanded a separate homeland for the Muslims of the Subcontinent. So what he said for these demands, is consider as the demand for Pakistan. His saying’s are considered as the ideology of Pakistan. The Islamic state he demanded came into being on August 14, 1947 in the shape of Pakistan.

Islam Is Complete Code Of Life: In the annual meeting of Muslim League on December 29, 1930 at Allahabad, he said: “ Islam is not the name of some beliefs and customs but it is a complete code of life. In Europe, religion is every one’s personal matter which divides the human oneness into two opposite parts i.e body and soul. In contrast to that in Islam, God, Universe, soul , matter, state and religious places are bound to each other or in other words Muslims are one nation”.

Islam Is A Lively Power: In his Allahabad address he said: “Islam is a lively power which, frees human mind from country and race’s thoughts. If we understand this thing then we can be the leaders of prominent Indian civilization”

Islam Is The Way To Success: Allama Iqbal said in relation to Islam: “The lesson which I learnt from history is that Islam always helped the Muslims at the time of difficulty but Muslims did not save Islam. Even today ideology of Islam can save your being from destruction by uniting your divided powers.”

No Other Ideology Of Life Than Islam: On the publication of his poem, “ Khazr-e-Rah people started to call Allama Iqbal as communist. He rejected this balance firstly in his essay and then in a letter to All-e-Ahmed Sarwar in 1937. He said: “ To me capitalism communism and other isms of this world have no importance. Islam is the only reality which is the reason of salvation. To have a contract with any other ism is just like to be out of Islam”.

Demand Of A Separate Muslim Homeland: On December 29, 1930. Allama Iqbal Said: “I desire that by joining Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, N.W.F.P, a separate state should be made which is under the British rule or outside the British rule. This is necessary because in north west, a separate Muslim state, has became the fate of Muslims. I demand for the benefit of Islam and of the subcontinent, a strong Islamic state is created”.

Comments: Poet of East Allama Iqbal in his saying one side has discussed the golden principles of Quran and Islam and on the other side he advised the Muslims to be strong against the pagan forces by acting upon these golden principles. So that they can be free from the brutal clauses of foreign forces. In addition to that in the north western Muslim majority area, where geographically a Muslim state consist already, where it is easier to implement God’s rule, there a separate state should be declared.
