Abstract

Allama Iqbal, the renowned Pakistani poet and philosopher, played a pivotal role in shaping the national identity and consciousness of the Muslim subcontinent. Through his captivating poetry and prose, Iqbal infused the spirit of patriotism and national unity, advocating for the liberation of Muslims from colonial rule and the establishment of an independent homeland. This paper delves into the intricate relationship between patriotism and national unity in Iqbal's literary works, drawing references from his most popular poems and prose. Iqbal's poetry is a symphony of patriotic fervor, resonating with the aspirations of a nation yearning for freedom and self-determination. In poems such as "Saare Jahan Se Achha Hindustan Hamara" and "Humayun Nama," Iqbal extols the virtues of his homeland, India, while simultaneously lamenting its subjugation under British rule. He urges his fellow countrymen to rise against oppression and reclaim their rightful place in the world. Iqbal's prose, too, is imbued with a profound sense of national consciousness. In his seminal work, "The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam," he articulates the vision of a united Muslim Ummah, transcending regional and sectarian divides. He emphasizes the importance of Islamic unity in facing the challenges of the modern world. Iqbal's legacy as a poet and philosopher is inextricably linked to his unwavering commitment to patriotism and national unity. His works continue to inspire generations of Muslims, fostering a sense of collective identity and purpose.
