Iqbal's Youth: Youngsters (Nojawan)

Allama lqbal was a man of all pervasive ability and potentials. He covered such a wide field of intellectual sphere that it has been impossible to describe him. His most important attribute was that he used all his abilities, art, literature and thinking in the service of mankind and did not like ‘art for art’s sake’.The source of his knowledge was equally vast but, by far and large, it was based on the Holy Qur’an and Islamic values.

Iqbal has explained, at great length, that the apex of Muslim Nojwans was not merging with Allah but submitting oneself to His Will and service in the wider sense.The Muslim Nojwans are the potent hand as well as the Word of the Eternal Allah.

"My only prayer to you, my lord, is that the"
"Light of my vision be diffused amongst all"
