Sir Muhammad Iqbal Quotes

A collection of quotes by Sir Muhammad Iqbal.

Sir Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938) was a prominent philosopher, poet, and politician from British India. He is celebrated for his seminal role in advocating for the rights and self-determination of the Indian Muslim community. Iqbal's philosophical and poetic works reflect his vision of an independent and harmonious Muslim state, inspiring the demand for a separate nation that ultimately led to the creation of Pakistan. His notable works, including "Bang-e-Dra" and "Asrar-e-Khudi," continue to be widely revered for their exploration of spiritual and intellectual themes. Consequently, Iqbal is considered one of the most influential figures in the development of modern Persian and Urdu literature.
