Ok, I’ll bite

Whose “allah” are we distancing ourselves from? Judging from iqbal’s allahbad address (indian islam is different from arabi islam aka wahabism is not of india?), I think that Iqbal would probably be declared a fitnah by ba izzat pagri brigade, accused of blasphemy law and then hung from the sills of sialkot jail by a vigilante. The bar council would probably distribute laddoo and would be willing to represent the ghazi for free.

I dont know about his address you mentioned but rest of your post I would agree with. I still think that Iqbal is very under-appreciated philosopher and thats precisely why he is not much cherished anymore (not that I’m aware of).

And there are many school of thoughts who already declare him Kaafir and say he was alcoholic and what not. And the base of that starts from the POV that Iqbal’s message doesnt resonate with their own agenda.
And thats exactly what the last verse of my shared stanza said → “Naara-e-takbeer bhi fitna..” I’m sure he would be labelled kafir on this verse itself.
