User:Iamhamzagujar/Iqbal's male believer

In Iqbal's thoughts, the mention of "man of faith" or "perfect man" is rightly found. For this, they use "mard haq", "banda afaqi", "banda momin", "mard God" and many such terms. In fact, these are different names of the same entity, which is the ideal figure of Iqbal's concept of self.

Belief in God's right man

And the world you, illusion and talisman and authorized

Knowledge is only the legacy of the believer

He is not a believer who does not understand

The hand is the hand of the believer, the servant of Allah

Ghalib Wikar offers, Kar Kusha, Karsaz

One can imagine his strong arm

Destinies change with the eyes of a believing man

Therefore, this ideal person is so beloved by Iqbal that he is repeatedly mentioned. Among the questions that have been raised in this regard, the most important one is that from where did Iqbal derive the concept of a man of faith? What are the attributes of their male believer? This concept of theirs is just imaginary or a real person has become an example for them. These questions can be answered after a deep study of His Word.

There are different opinions about where Iqbal derived the concept of a male believer. Some people believe that it is based purely on Islamic teachings and in this regard, Iqbal also made use of Islamic thinkers like Ibn Mishkawiyyah and Abd al-Karim al-Jaili. One group describes this concept as a reflection of Western philosopher Nietzsche's metaphysics. Some believe that Iqbal got the idea from ancient Greek philosophers. And some call it the religion of Maulana Rum. Therefore, in view of all these different and conflicting opinions, it is necessary to review the thoughts that existed before Iqbal in the East and West before talking about the male believer. And to what extent Iqbal made use of them, we will also be able to assess it.

Islamic concept
Basic Islamic teachings reveal that man has been endowed by Allah Almighty with incalculable abilities and has made his potential for elevation limitless. He has been given the honor of being His Khalifa on earth and the Ashraf al-Mukhalukat. And has elevated his ranks to such an extent that he can become a mirror of Allah's attributes. But the condition for this is that a person obeys Allah Almighty and follows His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in such a way as to be worthy of God's rewards. The best example for Muslims is the life of the Prophet. If he makes himself a complete follower of this blessed character, he will be painted in the color of Allah and will be declared as a favorite servant of Allah. The true purpose of Islam is to create such a person.

Muslim thinkers
Muslim thinkers have also discussed the concept of perfect man and his spiritual evolution.

"Some people are so quick-thinking, right-sighted and accurate that they can predict future events. It is as if these people see the things of the unseen through a thin veil. When man reaches this high level, he enters the realm of angels. That is, such a personality comes into existence in the universe which is higher than the human personality and there is very little difference between it and the angels.

"Ibn Mushkawiyya"

"The life of the perfect man or male believer, who is in accordance with the divine constitution, participates in the common life of nature and the secret of the reality of things is revealed to him. On reaching this destination, a person leaves the limits of perfect purpose and enters the realm of essence. His eye becomes God's eye, his word becomes God's word and his life becomes God's life. This is the point where humanity and divinity become one and the result is the birth of the Divine Man. "Abd al-Karim Al Jaili"

Nietzsche's Superhuman (below).
He is a famous German philosopher who has presented the concept of superhuman in many of his books. Nietzsche was an atheist at an early age. Later, he became devoted to the search for a human being who could be called a superman. About this he says.

"The superhuman will be the superior individual who will emerge from the elite class and who will emerge from the midst of the common men suffering dangers and overshadow them all. "

Nietzsche is a strong supporter of racial superiority and emphasizes the preservation of specific races and special training and tolerance. He considers the prevailing ethics for superhumans to be poison. And he advises him to stay away from servile behavior. And considers it beyond the standard of good and evil. And it justifies all kinds of war in view of its objectives. According to Professor Aziz Ahmed, "Nietzsche's superhuman has three characteristics. "Strength and Arrogance"

A distinguishing characteristic of a believer is poverty and poverty. He is not the embodiment of arrogance and pride like Nietzsche's man, but poverty is so important to Iqbal that he defines Islam as "poverty". Iqbal has repeatedly emphasized on Dervish, Faqr and Qalandri and has given it the status of essential and very important factor for self-fulfilment. What is the status of poverty with them and what is its place in the life of a male believer

It can be estimated from the following verses.

There is no such distinction between poverty and empire

This is the swordplay of the army, that is the swordplay of the Nga

Who knows that it has thousands of positions

The poverty in which the Quranic soul is uncovered

Who wiped out the tyranny of Caesar and Kasra

what was that? Zor Haider, Faqar Bozar, Sadiq Salmani

Poverty comes from self-development. There is a big fundamental difference between the poverty of a perfect person and the poverty of an unbeliever (monasticism). Monasticism seeks refuge in the forest. Poverty conquers the universe and develops its ego for it. The task of poverty is not to take refuge in the comfort of monasticism, but to confront the extravagance of nature and the evil and injustice of society, even if there is a strong fear of it.

Go out from the monasteries and perform the rites of Shabiri

That monastic poverty is only sadness and sorrow

In addition to these great and important qualities, Iqbal's male believer includes justice, modesty, fear of God, a pure heart, strength, sincerity, holiness, strength, loftiness, good conscience, goodness, purity, etc.

Qahari, Ghafari, Quddusi, and Jaburot

A Muslim becomes a Muslim if these four elements are present

Neighbor Gabriel Amen Banda Khaki

Its base is neither Bukhara nor Samarkand

Believers do not know this secret!

The reader sees the Qur'an in reality

Nature's purpose is its intention

The balance in this world, the balance in the resurrection

And the person who has all these attributes is the one who is the target of the universe and the target of the universe.

Islamic standards for the perfect human being or male believer are in front of us, apart from the concept of the perfect human being found in Eastern and Western thinkers. If Iqbal's Mard Momin Ka is compared with them, it is found that Iqbal has made Islamic teachings a standard for himself. Iqbal basically adopted the standard that Islam has set for a male believer and a true Muslim.

While among the Muslim thinkers, Iqbal has accepted the influence of Abdul Karim Al Jaili's thoughts. Jellie has defined three stages of spiritual evolution of the perfect human being. Iqbal also has three stages of self-training.

As far as Nietzsche is concerned, this opinion is not correct that Iqbal has derived the concept of his Marduman from Nietzsche's Mard Bartar. Iqbal's man is a model of perfect morality and creates high values in his life. Contrary to this, Nietzsche's superhuman is not convinced of any morality, he gives good and evil a mere secondary status. And the biggest thing is that he is a denier of God. And he has no concept of God even for superhumans. He says that "God died" so that superhumans can live.

After all the above detailed discussion, we come to the conclusion that Iqbal is familiar with all the Eastern and Western concepts of the perfect human being and must have made use of them. But this from the attributes of their male believer

It is not difficult to guess that he based this concept only on Islamic teachings. Their concept is a high ideal for the individual to become a believer and for the congregation to adapt to the structure of the Islamic nation. This concept is not just imaginary but real because such entities existed during the rise of Islam.

Now it can be said without fear that Iqbal's Man Kamil is different from Muslim Sufis' Man Kamil and Nietzsche's Man Barrat, and due to his specific personality, unique character, quirkiness, he is more than the concepts presented by others. Lively, balanced, real and actionable character.
