Product Description

Product Description

Though much of Iqbal's best poetry is written in Persian, he is also a poet of colossal stature in Urdu. Shikwa (1909) and Jawab-i-Shikwa (1913) extol the legacy of Islam and its civilising role in history, bemoan the fate of Muslims everywhere, and squarely confront the dilemmas of Islam in modern times. Shikwa is thus, in the form of a complaint to Allah for having let down the Muslims and Jawab-i-Shikwa is Allah's reply to the poet's complaint.

Great Poetry but with Caution 12 May 2009
By Imran M. Salim - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I have not personally read this specific book but I am great fan of Shikwa and Jawab-E-Shiqwa; though with a caution as his text can be interpreted (twisted) by extremists to justify wars (terrorism) as Iqbal has glorified wars and victories of Muslims during their renaissance (old days).

However, it is an excellent 'self' criticism and 'sincere' description of plight of Muslims. Iqbal accuses Muslims for their plight due to their own deeds (ignorance), which in my opinion is 100% true.
