― Allama Iqbal, The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam

“Look at the evils of the world around you and protect yourself from them. Our teachers give all the wrong messages to our youth, since they take away the natural flare from the soul. Take it from me that all knowledge is useless until it is connected with your life, because the purpose of knowledge is nothing but to show you the splendors of yourself!”
― Sir Muhammad Iqbal Allama Iqbal

“But only a brief moment
is granted to the brave
one breath or two, whose wage is
The long nights of the grave”
― Sir Muhammad Iqbal Allama Iqbal

“The revealed and mystic literature of mankind bears ample testimony to the fact that religious experience has been too enduring and dominant in the history of mankind to be rejected as mere illusion. There seems to be no reason, then, to accept the normal level of human experience as fact and reject its other levels as mystical and emotional.”
― Allama Iqbal, The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam
