Iqbal's English Works:
Iqbal wrote two books in English. The first being The Development of
Metaphysics in Persia in which continuity of Persian thought is discussed and
sufism is dealt with in detail. In Iqbal's view true Islamic Sufism awakens the
slumbering soul to a higher idea of life.
The second book, The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam, is the
collection of Iqbal's six lectures which he delivered at Madras, Hyderabad and
Aligarh. These were first published from Lahore in 1930 and then by Oxford
University Press in 1934. Some of the main subjects are "Knowledge and
Religious Experience," "The Conception of God and the Meaning of
Prayer," "The Human Ego," "Predestination and Free
Will," "The Spirit of Muslim Culture," "The Principle of
Movement in Islam (Ijtihad)." These issues are discussed pithily in a
thought provoking manner in the light of Islam and the modern age. These
lectures were translated into Urdu by Sayyid Nazir Niazi.
