Allama Iqbal: Spiritual Dimensions & Mystical Experiences (Part 1)

حضور رحمتہ اللعالمین صلی الله علیہ وسلم کی نظر علامہ اقبال پر

Allama Iqbal praying in Mosque Qurtaba 
(Spain: 1933)

Allama Iqbal’s love for the Holy Prophet (صلی الله علیہ وسلم) has become proverbial. His visitors have related almost unanimously that whenever there was discussion about the Holy Prophet (صلی الله علیہ وسلم), Iqbal was deeply touched and tears would begin to flow from his eyes involuntarily.(1) In one of his letters, Iqbal says about the Holy Prophet (صلی الله علیہ وسلم):

“It is my belief that the Prophet (صلی الله علیہ وسلم) is still alive and the people of this age can get inspiration from Him as His Companions did during His mortal life.”(2)

Some spiritual events and mystical experiences of Allama Iqbal (رحمتہ الله علیہ) mentioned in famous books, are added below.

  5. Asalaam Alaikum, very good post…I want to share Allama Iqbal's Letter to his sister, Please forgive me if I typed it wrong…اپنی بھن کریم بی کو خط محررہ ٨ دسمبر ١٩١٩ میں تحریر کرتے ہیںمیرا عقیدہ بھی یہی ہے کے اللہ تعالیٰ مسلمانوں کو نئی زندگی عطا فرماے گا اور جس قوم نے آج تک اس کے دین کی حفاظت کی ہے اس کو ذلیل و رسوا نہ کرے گا . مسلمانوں کی بیترین تلوار دعا ہے. سو اسی سے کام لینا چاہے اور نبی کریم (ص) پر درود بھیجنا چاہے . کیا عجب کے اللہ تعالیٰ اس امت کی دعا سن لے اور اس کی غریبی پر رحم فرماے Sending Darood Sharid to Prophet Muhammad (saw) is powerful weapon than all weapons….. ThanksFaisal Farooq

Keep in mind that he has very close relationship with top brass of Pakistani, Politicians,Military generals ,media journalists and industrialists. In his friends list included former dictator Gen.Pervez Musharraf,President Asif Ali Zardari,Mian Nawaz sharif and nearly all politician in government and in opposition are in close relations with him. The evil people like Malak Riaz achieve their goals through use of wealth,property,bribe,women, and fear and even blackmailing others who are not obeying them. The current victim is the son of the chief justice of Pakistan supreme court. This is why over governments and institutions are in the control of these Zionist powers and they are not paying heed to the problem of common man instead they are trying to fulfill the agenda of the foreign powers. It seems that the ground is narrowing upon them and they are chase by some unseen powers. Our conditions will never improve until we get ride of these evil people.

    Masha'Allah very blessed dreamWho is the admin of Pakistan Cyber Force blog who seen this dream?Another question to Baktar e Noor have you also seen same kind of dream or your "Basharat" is related to it?

  16. My dear bro Tariq, it is not me who is getting these Basharats first hand, it is someone else who is being given all these glad tidings. Although, 'that source' gives me these news first hand with the izn for onward conveyance.

    AOA Brother, might not want to believe this Sheikh from Cyprus, check this http://spiritual-pakistan-future.blogspot.com/2011/11/month-of-muharram-shah-naimats.html, nothing happened in muharram.

  19. kashif says:

    yes darood shareef is big weapon for muslims,but remember that untill we do adopt sunnah of our prophet (sallalah u alihe wasllum),the darood alone cant save us.as it is munafiqat that someone says darood at night than at day time forgets sunnah of prophet and follows satan

  20. Yes brother Sunnah of the prophet is very very important….This is quite a significant point because understanding the Qur'an fully can only be possible with following the Sunnah of the prophet.Whoever obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys Allah, and whoever turns back, so We have not sent you as a keeper over them. (Surah An-Nisa, 80)It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision: if any one disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he is indeed on a clearly wrong Path. (Surah Al-Ahzab, 36)Imam Malik, one of the greatest Islam scholars, compared the Sunnah of the prophet to the ark of Noah and said : The Sunnah of the Prophet Mohammad (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) is like the Ark of Noah. Whoever embarks upon it reaches salvation and whoever refuses is drowned.".Source: "Importance of following the Sunnah" by…..

  21. WAS, Sheikh nazim didn't mention the year and also he didn't mentioned what will be happened with us. It is still secrete. Still we can see some part of his prediction about fight between Arabs, which is also mentioned in Ahdith as tribal wars.

  22. Sheikh Nazim and Sheikh Hisham Kabbani said about something will be happened… When you hear loud shrieks you have to go in Sajjada and do not pick head till it goes away.Divine Knowledge – العلم الإلهي – Ledün Ilmihttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60O5gUwmGo0&feature=share&fb_source=message@ 1:30-2:30Preperation for the coming of Sayyidina Mahdi by Mv Shaykh Hisham Kabbanihttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9VRzEdNuXM@ 09:30-15:30Princess of Japan makes a 2012 prediction Jan. 2, 2012https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2WaBTHHfAM&feature=player_embeddedI don't know prediction of princess of Japan is conspiracy, propaganda or half truth half lie but she also predicted about 3 day blackout.

  23. FG, kia aap nay kal kay Express main zummurad naqvi ka column parha hai? Iss saanp nay qayam e Pakistan ko aik saamraji sazish qarar day kar Nazriya e Pakistan kay khilaf harza sarai ki hai. Iss ghaddar ka tamamtar column zehr angez laghwiyat say bharpur hai. Aisa lagta hai keh issay shayad khud nahi pata keh nashay ki halat main kia say kia kehta jaa raha hai!

  24. We know that in English journalism, there are dozens of snakes busy with their vicious onslaught on the foundations of Pakistan but I hardly thought that in Urdu journalism they would be so daring as to openly attack our foundations like that! People must timely identify their enemies. This abomination must be an undisclosed member of SAFMA!

  25. Aura says:

    Sheikh Nazim indeed mentioned the year, clearly watch his video of 2010. He clearly said "From this Muharram until Next Muharram". He said this sentence twice. Which clearly means: from Muharram 2010 to Muharram 2011.According to his prediction:1) Turk will collapse (False prediction)2) Damascus will collapse (False, not collapsed yet)3) Baghdad will collapse (False)4) Iran will collapse (False)5) Egypt will collapse (True prediction)6) Libya will collapse (True prediction)7) Hijaz (saudi Ararbia) will collapse (False prediction)8) Yemen will collapse (False)9) Sudan will collapse (False)10) Somalia will collapse (False)11) Pakistan will collapse (False)12) Afghanistan will collapse (False)13) Caucasus will collapse (False)14) In England the Son (Prince Charlse) will become more powerfull than the Queen, and He will sweep away all the parliaments (of UK)- (False)15) Russia will collapse (False)16) China is collapsing inside (Not yet collapsed inside)17) India will be united as One (False)18) Afghanistan will be united as one (False)19) Iran will be united as one (False)20) The tribes on Yemen will be gone (False)21) For Palestine, one Sultan who rules 10 countries will come. (False)22) About Hijaz (Saudi Arabia) 22 predictions. Only 2 became true, 20 proved false! 15) Watch this video on Youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77SSf8YSgVwThe Greatest Man on Earth said 14 centuries before "A believer is not bitten from the same hole twice.” (Al-Bukhari)Now it's up to you to decide!!!

  26. I just read his last three column. At end of every column he did a prediction :)Author didn't mention religious extremism, hatred of Hindus for Muslims and hypocrisy of congress which divided India.

  27. @AuraBrother you gave comment under wrong thread 🙂 Anyone can do mistake :)Both are separate videos. I mentioned video which is present in http://spiritual-pakistan-future.blogspot.com/2011/11/month-of-muharram-shah-naimats.htmlHe said in this video…. اگر کچھ وقوع پذیر ہوتا ہے تو ہر شخض کو چاہے وو جہاں ہے وہی رہے اپنے گھر میں What does it mean? It means he don't know year. It means IF it happens in Muharram then we shouldn't leave our homes. If it doesn't happen then it will happen in Muharram of any next year. Why it will happen in Muharram? because it is in Hadith foretold by Prophet Muhammad (saas) 1400 years ago.Collapse of regimes is mentioned in another video which you posted…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77SSf8YSgVwCollapse of regimes from Muharram 2010 to Muharram 2011 doesn't mean government of these countries will be changed. It means the process of their Collapse will be started…. Dead line will over….Meanings of predictions are according to Hadiths…..1) Turk will collapse (Russia will capture Istanbul – Hadith)2) Damascus will collapse (Sufyani will capture Damascus – Hadith)3) Baghdad will collapse (Sufyani will capture Baghdad – Hadith)4) Iran will collapse (Sufyani will attack at gate of Istakhr – Hadith)5) Egypt will collapse (Sufyani will capture Egypt. Before Sufyani Aqba from Sudan will capture it – Hadith)6) Libya will collapse (True prediction)7) Hijaz (saudi Ararbia) will collapse (After death of Abdullah Sufyani will attack – Hadith)8) Yemen will collapse (Don't know)9) Sudan will collapse (Sufyani will defeat Aqba with help of Roman – Hadith)10) Somalia will collapse (Don't know)11) Pakistan will collapse (Ghazwa-e-Hind – Hadith)12) Afghanistan will collapse (Ghazwa-e-Hind – Hadith)13) Caucasus will collapse (Russai will attack)14) In England the Son (Prince Charlse) will become more powerfull than the Queen, and He will sweep away all the parliaments (of UK)- (UK will become Muslim- Prince Charlse is interested in Islam or already become Muslim)15) Russia will collapse (Imam Mahdi with help of Christians will defeat Hadith)16) China is collapsing inside (inside means collapse morally and socially)17) India will be united as One (Ghazwa-e-Hind – Hadith)18) Afghanistan will be united as one (Ghazwa-e-Hind – Hadith)19) Iran will be united as one (See point 4)20) The tribes on Yemen will be gone (See point 8)21) For Palestine, one Sultan who rules 10 countries will come. (Palestine/Jerusalem will be center of Imam Mahdi's Caliphate)22) About Hijaz (See point 7) Wait all will be true according to Hadiths. If you want I can post related Ahdith.

  28. @AuraOnly spiritual people can understand predictions of Sheikh Nazim for example Sheikh Nazim said Imam Mahdi is in cave of Hijaz. Ordinary mureed of Sheikh believed it as Imam Mahdi physically present in cave. One spiritual Mureed told me that meaning of cave is current period of Imam Mahdi. Before coming to Medina and creating Caliphate Prophet Muhammad (saas) hide in cave Thor in Hijaz with His helper Hazret Abu Bakr (ra). Imam Mahdi is also in a cave with his 313 helpers. This cave is his occultation from public. It is not physical cave. If he in cave then it means next step is creating Caliphate… Congratulation Caliphate of Imam Mahdi is very near…. 🙂

  29. Aura says:

    @Faisal FarooqYou said that according to Sheikh Nazim's saying Mahdi is in cave means not physically present in the cave, but it is the period. And you are also giving the example of our Honourable Prophet that he stayed in the cave of Thor. But it is irrelavent, as our Holy Prophet physically stayed in the cave of Thor.The theory of Mahdi's stay in the cave, and on a specific time making appearance in the public coming out of the cave, is actually the theory of Shia sect. If you read the book of Mullah Baqir Majlisi "Hayatul Quloob", he makes the very similar statement about Mahdi, which you are making. We find many Mahdi's in the history, lot of claims from the so-called spiritual people. And few simple people said Labbaik to their claim blindly. Few so-called Mahdis were:A-Mukhtar (686 CE)Muhamad Jaunpuri (1443 CE)Ahmed Bin Abi Mahalli (1559 CE)Sayyed Ali Muhammad (1819)Mahdi Sudani (1881 CE)Ghulam Ahmed Qadiyani (1889 CE)Muhammad Bin Abdullah Al-Qahtani (1979 CE)And if your read their biographies, majority of them were spiritual people, led few years of their life in seclusion with Dikr & meditation. And a number of simple-minded people were their followers."The example of those who take allies other than Allah is like that of the spider who takes a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew." (Surah Al-Ankabut, 41)May Allah open our eyes. Ameen!

  30. Momin says:

    Collapsing of Regimes long time ago were analyzed by Sh Imran Hossein. Any person who understand current affairs & has a knowledge of Ahadith can do this prediction. His prediction about Mahdi(A.S) changes with a time. Also he calls Odnan Akhtar as his son and praises him raises up some questions. We also know that other great scholars has warned about Odnan Akhtar. Dont fall in trap.

    The video came out before Muharram 2011. I think it implied that it is coming Muhrram. Even the title is: Take Precaution In The Month Of Muharram (17 Nov 2011). This was completely false, absolutely bogus and a waste of time. Also, this person has high regard for Harun Yahya. Your call, only trying to warn.

  32. @Baktar-e-NoorYes, I read that article and ignored him. Mein ne aap ko bataya tha k in logon ka bus chale to ye Quaid-e-Azam aur Allama Iqbal ko bhi kisi agency ka agent declare kar dain (Nauzbillah). In ko sharam hi nahin ati ye baatain karte huwe k Pakistan america ne banaya. Hum isse opinion nahin keh sakte ye to ghaddari hai mulk ke saath.

No matter how big their claim is we we should not miss behave with each other.I am sure through encouraging each other we can make difference as our Beloved Prophet MUHAMMAD (PBUH) does. Also very important request to all Muslim brothers and sisters recite Surah Fateha as much as you can if with translation then its very good.Allah Bless Pakistan and All Muslims Countries and People
