Muhammad Iqbál: Zitate auf Englisch

“Democracy is a system in which heads are counted but not weighed.”

“What if the song be Indian, it is Hejazi in its verve.”

Shikwa. According to some sources, a more literal translation is: "No matter if my idiom is Indian, my spirit is that of Hejaz." C.f. Elst, Koenraad (2014). Decolonizing the Hindu mind: Ideological development of Hindu revivalism. New Delhi: Rupa. p. 343.
Shikwa & Jawab Shikwa : The complaint and the answer : the human grievance and the divine response

“I would like to see the Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, Sind and Baluchistan amalgamated into a single State. Self-government within the British Empire, or without the British Empire, the formation of a consolidated North-West Indian Muslim State appears to me to be the final destiny of the Muslims, at least of North-West India.”

Sir Muhammad Iqbal’s 1930 Presidential Address to the 25th Session of the All-India Muslim League, Allahabad, 29 December 1930 (from University of Columbia website http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00islamlinks/txt_iqbal_1930.html)

“What if the pitcher be Persian, from Hejaz is the wine I serve.”

Shikwa & Jawab Shikwa : The complaint and the answer : the human grievance and the divine response

“All land belongs to the Muslims, because it belongs to their God.”

Quelle: Quoted from Elst, Koenraad (1992). Negationism in India: Concealing the record of Islam.

“Muhammad of Arabia ascended the highest Heaven and returned. I swear by God that if I had reached that point, I should never have returned.”

These are the words of a great Muslim saint, 'AbdulQuddës of Gangoh. In the whole range of Sufi literature it will be probably difficult to find words which, in a single sentence, disclose such an acute perception of the psychological difference between the prophetic and the mystic types of consciousness. The mystic does not wish to return from the repose of "unitary experience"; and even when he does return, as he must, his return does not mean much for mankind at large.

“Would we have played with our lives for nothing but worldly gain?
If our people had run after earth's goods and gold,
Need they have smashed idols, and not idols sold?”

“O water of the river Ganges, thou rememberst the day
When our torrent flooded thy valleys...”

“Every land which belongs to God is our land.”

As quoted in Islam and Nationalism, Dr. Ali Mohammed Naqvi . Also translated as: "All land belongs to Muslims, because it belongs to their God. in : JPRS Report: Near East & South Asia, 93067 Foreign Broadcast Information Service, 1993 https://books.google.com/books?id=rki6AAAAIAAJ

“Ends and purposes, whether they exist as conscious or subconscious tendencies, form the wrap and woof of our conscious experience.”

“The immediacy of mystic experience simply means that we know God just as we know other objects. God is not a mathematical entity or a system of concepts mutually related to one another and having no reference to experience.”

Quelle: The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Reconstruction_of_Religious_Thought/uCh14nl09jkC?hl=en (1930), p. 14
