کلام ِ اقبال میں مناقبِ اہلِ بیت

PRAISE OF AHL-E-BAIT IN THE IQBAL’S POETRY

Abstract

According to Iqbal, the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the symbol of Islam and an ideal model for a Muslim. According to Iqbal, the claim of love for the Prophet ﷺ and following the Prophet ﷺ are obligatory. It is essential to follow his footsteps for real salvation. And this is impossible without deep love and affection for Rasulullah SAW. Following him without love for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is just a pretense and like a paper flower that has no fragrance and no lasting color. No one can be a perfect believer or achieve true success without the love of the Messenger of Allah.In the light of the decrees of the Prophet ﷺ, Iqbal also understands that the love of the Prophet ﷺ requires that you have true and perfect love with your Ahl al-Bayt as well. From the study of Kalam-e-Iqbal, it is revealed that perfection in following the Qur'an and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is not possible without following and loving the Ahl al-Bayt. In Kalam-i-Iqbal, all the Ahl al-Bayt are mentioned loudly. The hardships endured by the Ahl al-Bayt (may Allah be pleased with them) for the propagation of the clear religion in unfavorable circumstances, and the great devotion and will to the Holy Prophet, human history is unable to provide an example of this. The Holy Qur'an has put a strong stamp on character, truthfulness, selflessness, justice and benevolence, piety and fear of God. In the current research paper, Manaqib Ahl al-Bayt has been described in the light of Kalam-e-Iqbal.
