Iqbal and Jauhar's Islamic and Political Thought and Other Commonalities: A Research Study

Abstract

Allama Muhammad Iqbāl and Maūlāna Muhammad Ali Johar: Both were intellectuals, poets and reformers of the nation. Both were almost the same age. In poetry, both of them were disciples of Dāgh for some time. Although Iqbāl has superiority over Johar in terms of his political, moral and social thoughts and the art of prose and poetry, both of them are considered as great leaders of the Islamic world.

Both Johar and Iqbal are poets who believe in self-awareness, human equality, human dignity, enthusiasm, hope, movement and struggle. Love for the Prophet is evident in both of their poetry.

Although, Muhammad Ali Johar's Diwān is not very large, his poetry is full of the commands and allusions of the Holy Qur’ān and the hadiths of the Prophet (PBUH). Arabic and Persian compositions and Qur’ānic words and allusions have been used extensively in Iqbal's poetry. The article under consideration has undertaken a historical review of the poetry, Islamic and political thought, trends, and struggles of Iqbal and Maulana Muhammad Ali Johar, and an attempt has been made to find out what is the thinking and working of these two leaders. In this regard, the parallel comparative method has been adopted.
