اقبال کا قرینہ عشقِ رسولؐ

Abstract

Iqbal‟s love for Holy Prophet (SAW) is his identity which dominates all his personality and contributions. On all occasions of his life whenever there was a discussion about the Holy Prophet (SAW), he was deeply touched and tears would begin to flow from his eyes involuntarily. Iqbal does not isolate the passion of love with the Holy Prophet (SAW) from the present state of the Muslim society, the ignoble role of its leaders and national character of the nation. According to him the bright future of nation depends on their character infused with the love of Holy Prophet (SAW). Holy Prophet (SAW) lit the lamp of life and spirit of truth in the hearts and minds of the Muslims and they rose in revolt against the strongest and thus succeeded in establishing the law of truth and justice. Iqbal presented the Love of Holy Prophet (SAW) as an effective driving force which leads from decay to revival.
