Impact of Arabic and Islamic Literature on Iqbal's Poetry

Abstract

“Allama Muhammad Iqbal is a multidimensional personality, with the fact that he was a great poet, philosopher, politician, religious scholar and lawyer. Additionally he had a wonderful grip on different languages i.e. Arabic, Persian and Urdu. However, his command on Arabic was valued by the renowned scholars of the same language. His poetry is based on Islamic literature. Impact of Arabic and Islamic literature can be seen in Iqbal's poetry, that he used the Arabic terminologies in his poetry more regularly and more precisely. Most of the ideas and discussions of Islamic literature came from his poetry. He gave an actual image of Islam to the Muslim Ummah. He particularly targeted young generation. He used a lot of Quranic and Hadith phrases in his poetry, which gives the true reflection of Islam. Those who belong to the Arabic and Islamic are still mourning their heart and mind from the light and heat of his poetry.”
