Iqbal and Faqr

Iqbal and Faqr is a profound exploration of Allama Muhammad Iqbal’s philosophy and its deep connection with the spiritual concept of Faqr (selflessness, humility, and detachment from materialism). The book sheds light on how Iqbal viewed Faqr as a source of true strength, not weakness—an attribute that elevates human character and connects individuals with higher ideals of spirituality, freedom, and divine love.

The author explains Iqbal’s vision of a self-empowered Muslim (Mard-e-Momin) who embraces Faqr to rise above worldly temptations and live a life of purpose, dignity, and service. With references from Iqbal’s poetry and thought, this book is an inspiring guide for readers who wish to understand the spiritual foundation of Iqbal’s philosophy and its relevance in the modern world.
