  • The impact of the Qur'an on twentieth-century Urdu poetry
    Rizwanur Rahman
    Journal of Qur Anic Studies, 2014
    The twentieth century was witness to two major poetic personalities on the Indian literary scene, both of whom were inspired by the message of the Qur'an: Khwaja Alfat Husayn Hali (d. 1914) and Muhammad Iqbal (d. 1938). In his Musaddas, Hali versified the rise and fall of Islamic civilisation, and through his poetry he sought to inculcate the teachings of the Qur'an in the hearts of the Indian people. As for Iqbal, he presented his Islamic philosophy through the medium of Urdu poetry, referencing Qur'anic stories, verses, and teachings in works such as Baange-e-Dara and Baal-e-Jibrail. This article seeks to analyse the Qur'anic imagery that features extensively in Hali's and Iqbal's poetic works. The Musaddas, for example, speaks of the Muslim confraternity enshrined in the Qur'anic verse, You were enemies of each other but Allah aroused a sense of fraternity in your heart and you became brothers (Q. 3:103). Similarly, Iqbal's Shikwah and Jawāb-e-Shikwah are full of Qur'anic similes, metaphors, and images, as well as references to various prophets, including Moses, Abraham, and Muḥammad. Thus, Iqbal enlists the verse God is the Light of the heavens and the earth (Q. 24:35), for example, to show that man attains enlightenment because of the Light of God which is cast upon each and every object in the universe.
