. .

Résumé :
Baal-e-Jibreel (???? ?????), the masterful creation of Dr. Sir Allama Muhammad Iqbal, stands as a beacon of philosophical and spiritual exploration, echoing the depth and diversity of human experience. Following his groundbreaking work Bang-e-Dara, Iqbal elevates his poetic and intellectual journey to new heights in this compelling collection, first published in 1935. In Baal-e-Jibreel, Iqbal delves deeper into the realms of metaphysics, spirituality, and personal development. Each poem is a gem, intricately carved with the wisdom of Sufism, the nuances of personal struggle, and the relentless quest for self-realization. The book is a treasure trove of Iqbal's evolving thoughts on 'Khudi' or selfhood, offering readers a more mature and nuanced understanding of the concept he so passionately explored in his earlier works. Baal-e-Jibreel is not only a continuation of Iqbal's philosophical journey but also an invitation to the readers to embark on their own path of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment. It challenges the reader to confront the inner self, to question, and to rise above the mundane. Iqbal's thoughts on the individual's role in society and the importance of self-awareness in the collective destiny of humankind are themes that make this work timeless. To engage with Baal-e-Jibreel is to engage in a dialogue with Iqbal at his philosophical zenith. The collection is essential for anyone who seeks to understand the depths of Iqbal's thought and the rich heritage of Urdu literature. It is not merely a book but a journey that promises to take the reader through the labyrinth of the human psyche, into realms of thought and spirituality that only a mind like Iqbal's could conceive....

Biographie:
Sir Muhammad Iqbal, widely known as Allama Iqbal (Urdu: ???? ?????), was born on 9 November 1877 and passed away on 21 April 1938. He is celebrated as a preeminent South Asian Muslim writer, philosopher, and politician, particularly renowned for his influential Urdu poetry, which is regarded among the greatest in the twentieth century. Iqbal's vision for Muslims in British-ruled India significantly contributed to the ideological groundwork for the creation of Pakistan.Born and raised in Sialkot, Punjab, in an ethnic Kashmiri Muslim family, Iqbal completed his B.A. and M.A. at the Government College Lahore. He then served as an Arabic lecturer at the Oriental College, Lahore, from 1899 to 1903. During this period, Iqbal wrote extensively, and his Urdu poems, including Parinde ki faryad (A Bird's Prayer) and Tarana-e-Hindi (The Song of India), remain popular.In 1905, Iqbal pursued further studies in Europe. He attended Trinity College, Cambridge, in England, where he completed a second B.A. and was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn. Subsequently, he moved to Germany, where he received his Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Munich. Upon returning to Lahore in 1908, Iqbal established a law practice but predominantly dedicated himself to scholarly works in politics, economics, history, philosophy, and religion.Iqbal's poetic achievements are most notable in works such as Asrar-e-Khudi, Rumuz-e-Bekhudi, and Bang-e-Dara. Post the publication of Asrar-e-Khudi, he was awarded a knighthood. In Iran, where he is affectionately known as Iqb?l-e L?hor?, his Persian works are highly esteemed.A strong proponent of the spiritual and political revival of Islamic civilization, particularly in South Asia, Iqbal's series of lectures were later published as The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam. He also played a significant political role, being elected to the Punjab Legislative Council in 1927 and occupying various positions in the All India Muslim League. His 1930 presidential address at the League's annual meeting in Allahabad was pivotal in shaping the political aspirations of Muslims in British India.Iqbal passed away in 1938. After the establishment of Pakistan in 1947, he was posthumously honored as the national poet of Pakistan. Known also as Hakeem-ul-Ummat (The Sage of the Ummah) and Mufakkir-e-Pakistan (The Thinker of Pakistan), Iqbal's birth anniversary, 9 November, was celebrated as a public holiday in Pakistan until 2018. His legacy was further extended to the Arab world through Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi's work Glory of Iqbal....
