‘Allama Iqbal’s Eulogy of the British
The above represents the viewpoint of the Promised Messiahas. Since his detractors allege that his praise for the British is a proof of his being the British agent, it is instructive to see what they themselves had said in that regard. The most notable among these, whose person has been particularly advertised in this government publication, is ‘Allama Sir Muhammad Iqbal. Let us see what he used to say and write about the British in his time and what were his sentiments and thoughts about them. He wrote an elegy on the death of Queen Victoria, in which he said:
Meet uthi hai shah ki ta’zeem ke lye Iqbal urr ke khaak e sar e raah guzaar ho
The Monarch’s coffin is on the move, Get up Iqbal, (and grind thyself to dust) Then spread thy dust on funeral route, Thy reverence for the Queen to prove.
Soorat wohi hai naam mien rakha hua hai kia Sete hain naam maahe Muharram ka hum tujhe
What’s in a name, ‘tis tragedy supreme We’ll name this (tragic) month as Muharram
This means that according to Iqbal, one may give any name to the month in which Victoria died, however, the fact remains that the tragedy of her death was no less than the tragedy which occurred in Muharram when almost fourteen hundred years ago the grandson of the Holy Prophetsa, Hadrat Imam Hussainra, was martyred. He further develops this theme and says:
Kehte hian aaj Eid hui hai hua karre Iss Eid se to mott hi aaye khuda karre
They say, "It’s festival of Eid, today" Who cares about Eid, be that as it may! O God, (if Thou to prayer listeneth) Do grant that we be visited with death!
So this is the Mujahid-e-Millat [the Stalwart of the Nation] ‘Allama Sir Muhammad Iqbal, who is considered to be the topmost among the list of the opponents of Ahmadiyyat! And he was in the vanguard of those who accused the Promised Messiahas of being implanted by the British, only because he had praised them. He goes much further and says:
Ae hind tere sir se uthaa saaya e khuda Ikk ghum ghussar tere makeeno kit hi gai
O India! from thy head is lifted now, The Wing of God’s Mercy, (alack-a-day!) Gone is now, one who shared thy people’s grief,
Hilta hai jisse arsh ye rona issi ka hai Zeenat thi jiss se tujh ko janaaza ussi ka hai
Now heavens shake as mourners for her cry, ‘Tis the funeral of Thy Adornment, now gone by!
The Promised Messiah has been accused of calling the British 'The wing of God’s mercy' whereas ‘Allama Iqbal himself has used the same term 'wing of God’s mercy' in this elegy.
abhi zara khudd soch lo Allama ko quote karne ke nuksaan....abhi kia naam hai apna Dr Israr Ahmad sahib ko bhi quote kia hai aapne....unke baare mien bhi thora sa mera khyaal kuch likhna chahyye.
The poem by Allama Iqbal in the video explained by Dr Israr Ahmed. was one of the last poems of Allama Iqbal..
Allama Iqbal knew that mirza is a false person, becoz earlier iqbal was a fan of this cult, but soon as he realized that mirza is a Liar.. he disengaged himself from mirza.. and declared him kaafir (you can see that in the start of the video).. So thats the thing dude..
