Views of Allama Iqbal on the Ideology of Pakistan

I am fully convinced that the Muslims of India will ultimately have to establish a separate homeland as they cannot live with Hindus in the United India.

India is a continent of human beings belonging to different languages and professing different religions. To base

a constitution on the conception of homogenous India is to prepare her for civil war. I, therefore, demand the formation of a consolidated Muslim state in the best interest of Muslims of India and Islam.

The Allahabad Address of Allama Iqbal

I have been a staunch advocate of putting an end to religious prejudices and distinctions from the country. But now I believe that the protection of separate nation is in the best interest of both Hindus and Muslims”. He further said, “I would like to see the Muslim

majority areas i.e. Punjab, NWFP, Sind and Baluchistan amalgamated in the single state, a self- government within

the British Empire, or without the British Empire.

the desire to win back its moral fervor and maintain its purity. To rescue a community’s conscience, belief and faith from destruction was

no small achievement. Even after his death in 1762, his sons and followers carried on his work and noble mission.

Many future Islamic leaders and thinkers were inspired by his example. In short the Muslim Renaissance Movement launched by Shah Wali-Ullah

was the forerunner of all the future freedom movements of Indo-Pakistan. Maulana Mohammad Qasim Nanotvi founder of Madressah Deoband and

Sir Syed Ahmed Khan were among his followers. Later on his son Shah Abdul Aziz founded the Jihad Movement which was

carried forward by Syed Ahmed Shaheed.
