Hayat-e-Iqbal Ka Sabaq; an Article on Iqbal by Syed Maududi

Syed Maududi

Syed Abul A'ala Maududi (Urdu: سید ابو الاعلىٰ مودودی – alternative spellings of last name Maudoodi and Modudi) (September 25, 1903 – September 22, 1979), also known as Molana (Maulana) or Shaikh Syed Abul A'ala Mawdudi, was a Sunni Pakistani journalist, theologian, Muslim revivalist leader and political philosopher, and a major 20th century Islamist thinker. He was also a prominent political figure in Pakistan and was the first recipient of King Faisal International Award for his services to Islam in 1979. He was also the founder of Jamaat-e-Islami, the Islamic revivalist party.

Syed Maududi was a fan of Allama Iqbal and he used to visit and consult Iqbal. He has written much about Iqbal and his poetry and thoughts. One of his articles about Allama Iqbal titled; Hayat-e-Iqbal ka Sabaq [the Lesson of Iqbal's life] is posted here. I hope you will like it.
