It is very regrettable that millions
of Muslims in the Indian subcontinent hail Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938) as a
formidable Islamic thinker, and heap praises upon his alleged services for the
Religion. I have proven repeatedly on my blog that Iqbal swerved from orthodox
Islamic beliefs and principles, and introduced dangerous concepts into the
Faith due to being influenced by modernist and foreign ideas.

Sadly, many people who praise Iqbal
are not in the least acquainted with his blasphemous words, for example, he
wrote: “I have a certain amount of admiration for the devil. By refusing to
prostrate himself before Adam whom he honestly believed to be his inferior, he
revealed a high sense of self-respect; a trait of character, which, in my
opinion, ought to redeem him from his spiritual deformity, just as the
beautiful eyes of the toad redeem him from his physical repulsiveness” (Islam
as a Moral and Political Ideal; pp. 36-37)
