Allama Sir Dr Muhammed Iqbal is a giant name in Urdu (as well as Persian) literature and more so in the history of Islamic thought. But the gamut of ideas that Iqbal had explored in his life time is so diverse that it is difficult to reconcile one set of things with the other set. Because of this there was a rather excited discussion about the poet philosopher here. Your poor Alig desired that some one would have clarified the status of Iqbal's thoughts vis-a-vis Islam. As it happened it was your poor Alig who was defending Iqbal there. It is in this connection there was a strong desire to have discussion with Professor Abul Hashim Sahab of Urdu Department. As Allah(SWT) wished it the Maghrib Prayers in Wilayat Manzil (Theology Mosque) provided an opportunity to have a preliminary chit chat him. Many coincidences about the meeting point to the background that it was all choreographed by Allah(SWT). It was a very pleasant and relaxing tea with (courtesy him) at University canteen. May Allah(SWT) grant him plenty of rewards.
And all Praise is due to Allah(SWT) only.
