My Words Published in Daily The Nation on the occasion of 133rd birth anniversary of the Poet of the East, Allama Muhammad Iqbal.

Dr Allama Muhammad Iqbal is one of the most written about poets of Urdu. However, an authentic and reliable biography of Iqbal took a long time to appear. ‘Hayat-e-Iqbal’ was the first ever book on Iqbal, which appeared in 1938. After that, no year went by with out new books and articles on Iqbal being published. All these books provide the scholars with good source material but the need for a detailed and authentic biography of Iqbal was badly felt. Dr Javed Iqbal’s Zinda Rood, first published in 1984, filled this gap and is regarded as the most authentic biography of the poet-philosopher.

Recently, a fourth edition was published. Dr Javed Iqbal, being his son, was in a unique position to take advantage of all the original sources necessary to carry out an authentic research on Iqbal. This is the reason that Zinda Rood is by far the best biography of Iqbal to date.

According to the famous Iqbal scholar Professor Rafiuddin Hashmi, “Dr Javed Iqbal has very capably fulfilled his responsibilities as a biographer in Zinda Rood, which is a balanced and objective biography that describes all the aspects of Iqbal’s life in detail.

It makes you feel that Iqbal’s life was that of a great man”. If we want to take our country out of its present dire challenges, we would have to understand and follow the teachings of Iqbal. Zinda Rood is the best book to understand his teachings. One hopes that Dr Javed Iqbal would bring out a fifth revised edition with some more additions to this valuable book soon.

Commendable job, especially that you have mentioned about biography of Allama Iqbal is an addition to knowledge.

[Ranjha M S]

Studying Iqbal's philosophy and its application is very relevent and urgently needed at present. There may be no more Iqbal to come, but his philosophy can help Muslims in general and Pakistanis in particular to get out of current dire circumstances.
Excellent effort Taswer, keep it up.

Filling the gap left by Iqbal is unachievable. Even, Javed sahb can't bridge the gap. But, after reading your letter i will surely spare some time to read this book.
I personally notice that there are very few people who write on Iqbal in print media. You did a very good job.
God bless you.

Great work bro. As usual. Keep it up. And best of luck for your YPIP.

Nice piece of writing as usuall. Our youth has really forgotten who actually our national heroes are and whose teachings we need to follow. Its indeed a breath of fresh air that a representative of our youth is talking about Iqbal, the poet philosopher. The times calls for going to the teachings and principles of Iqbal.!!!
