Literary magazines and journals have always played an important role in the development and advancement of Urdu language and literature. Because literary magazines act as an effective and active force in the intellectual development and training of the people. The first Urdu-language newspaper, "Jam-e-Jahan Nama", was published in Calcutta on 16 May 1822 in Persian. But soon after, from May 1823, "Jam-e-Jahan Nama" became a Bilingual newspaper, and now an Urdu supplement was also added along with Persian. The foundation stone of Urdu journalism in North India was laid in 1837. Maulvi Muhammad Baqir laid its foundation with "Delhi Urdu Akhbar". Sir Syed Ahmad Khan's brother Syed Muhammad Khan launched the weekly "Sayed-ul-Akhbar" from Delhi in 1837. Master Ram Chandra, a professor of Delhi College, launched the fortnightly newspaper "Fawaid-ul-Nazrin" from Delhi in 1845. (11) Master Ram Chandra published another magazine "Khair khawah-e-Hind" from Delhi in 1847, but in November 1847 the name of this magazine was changed to "Mohab-e-Hind", because another magazine with the same name was being published from Mirzapur. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Allama Iqbal shone as a bright star in the sky of the Urdu language. He started his poetic career with Sheikh Abdul Qadir's magazine "Makhzan". Before that, a few of his ghazals appeared in a few magazines. As Allama Iqbal's popularity started to increase, the editors of other magazines also considered it a great privilege to publish Iqbal's writings. By 1905, Allama Iqbal's popularity among the public had two major platforms. One was the meetings of the Anjuman Himayat-e-Islam and the other was the publication of Iqbal's poetry in "Makhzan". Apart from these, Iqbal's poetry began to be published in other magazines such as "Ma'arif", "Sufi", "Zamana" (Kanpur), "Tamadan" (Delhi), "Zaban", "Vakil", "Urdu-e-Mu'alla", etc.

Allama Muhammad Iqbal’s poetry reflects a profound intellectual, spiritual, and civilizational engagement with Kashmir and its eminent personalities. This study, titled “The Intellectual and Cultural Significance of Kashmiri Luminaries in Iqbal’s Poetry,” explores how Iqbal presents the spiritual, literary, and political figures of Kashmir as symbols of Islamic revival, selfhood, moral courage, and cultural continuity. The article analyzes Iqbal’s references to distinguished Kashmiri personalities including Shah-e-Hamdan, Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Wali, Sultan Shahabuddin, Ghani Kashmiri, Muhammad Din Fauq, and Ghulam Ahmad Mehjoor to demonstrate how these figures embody the ethical and spiritual ideals central to Iqbal’s philosophy. The study argues that Iqbal did not view Kashmir merely as an ancestral homeland or geographical territory; rather, he regarded it as a living center of intellectual and spiritual tradition. Through poetic symbolism and philosophical reflection, Iqbal connects the legacy of Kashmiri saints, scholars, rulers, and poets with the broader vision of Muslim renaissance and collective awakening. The research concludes that the mention of Kashmiri luminaries in Iqbal’s poetry carries deep ideological and cultural significance, serving as a source of inspiration for identity, freedom, and spiritual regeneration in the Muslim world.

This study examines the promotion and dissemination of Allama Muhammad Iqbal’s thought in Occupied Kashmir with special reference to the scholarly and intellectual contributions of Bashir Ahmad Nahvi. Iqbal’s philosophy of selfhood (Khudi), spiritual awakening, dynamic faith and socio-political consciousness has played a vital role in shaping modern Muslim intellectual discourse. In the specific context of Occupied Kashmir—marked by political uncertainty, cultural challenges and identity struggles the reception and interpretation of Iqbal’s thought acquire deeper significance. Bashir Ahmad Nahvi emerges as a prominent scholar who devoted his intellectual energies to introducing, interpreting, and contextualizing Iqbal’s philosophy for Kashmiri society. Through his research writings, critical essays, lectures and institutional engagement, Nahvi contributed substantially to the growth of Iqbal Studies in the region. His scholarly approach is characterized by clarity of expression, ideological commitment, and contextual relevance, enabling Iqbal’s ideas to resonate with the lived realities of Kashmiri Muslims. The paper highlights how Nahvi not only explained Iqbal’s philosophical concepts but also linked them with issues of cultural identity, moral regeneration, and intellectual resistance. By employing a descriptive and analytical methodology, the study evaluates Nahvi’s major works and academic efforts, demonstrating how his interpretations helped popularize Iqbal’s message among students, researchers, and the educated public of Kashmir.This research argues that Bashir Ahmad Nahvi played a decisive role in transforming Iqbal’s thought from a purely literary-philosophical discourse into a living intellectual force within Kashmiri society. His contributions strengthened the tradition of Iqbal Studies in Occupied Kashmir and ensured the continuity of Iqbal’s intellectual legacy under challenging socio-political conditions. The study ultimately underscores Nahvi’s significance as a mediator between Iqbal’s universal philosophy and the specific Historical and cultural context of Kashmir.

علامہ اقبال کی تصنیف جاوید نامہ کا مطالعہ : میتھوپیا کے تناظر میں

This paper explores Javid Nama in the light of the theory of Mythopoeia, particularly as developed by J. R. R. Tolkien. The study examines Mythopoeia as a creative act through which writers construct alternative mythic worlds with symbolic, spiritual, and intellectual dimensions. It highlights the theoretical background of Mythopoeia and its role in literary creation. The paper argues that Allama Muhammad Iqbal, through Javid Nama, creates a parallel mythological cosmos by combining Islamic, philosophical, and mystical traditions into a unified imaginative structure. The geography, spiritual journey, and classical characters of the text reflect the essential features of a mythopoeic world. The study further demonstrates that Javid Nama can be understood as a creative and symbolic cosmos that expands the scope of mythopoeic criticism in Urdu literature

This article presents a critical and analytical study of Baqiyat-e-Iqbal, compiled by Dr. Syed Taqi Abedi, which aggregates Allama Iqbal’s neglected and discarded poetic works. The research evaluates the compilation’s thematic and stylistic coverage—including ghazals, poems, rubaiyat, and Persian verses—against the backdrop of earlier scholarly milestones by figures such as Sabir Kalorvi, Gyan Chand, and Abdul Waheed Mu’ini. Through comparative textual analysis, the study assesses Dr. Abedi’s editorial methodology and the work's contribution to modern Iqbal scholarship. The findings reveal that while Abedi’s Baqiyat-e-Iqbal serves as a significant editorial enterprise, it functions primarily as a redaction of existing collections rather than a source of original critical discovery or rigorous textual re-examination. Ultimately, this paper situates Dr. Abedi’s work within the continuum of Iqbaliyat, reaffirming the foundational importance of prior compilers in preserving Iqbal’s abandoned literary heritage
