We all know Allama Iqbal as a poet, but we don't know about his love for our religion Islam and Ishq e Rusool (s.a.w).
Iqbal loved Nabi Pak (s.a.w) so much that whenever he heard the Name of Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), tears roll down from his eyes.
some one asked a question to Molana Khadim about Iqbal, that if he was such Ashiq e Rusool, why did he never visit Madina or went fot Hajj or Umrah. Molana Khadim replied that Allama's purpose for life was love of Muhammad (peace be upon him), in imaginations and in his dreams he was always there with the Holy Prophet(peace be upon him)..
Ba khuda darr parda goyum ba'd goyum ashkar,
Ya Rasul Allah, o pinhaan, tu paida e mann!!
(Allah se tou parday me baat hoti hy, lekin Ya RasulUllah ap se tou aamne samne baat hoti hy)
And if he had visited Madina in real, he would have died right there, his life's purpose would have been achieved.
in one of Iqbal's couplet Iqbal said:
hawa ho aisi k hindustan se ae Iqbal,
urra k mujh ko ghubar e rah e Hijaaz karay!!!
{such wind should blow from Hindustan,
which would blow me as dust to Makkah/Madina (hijaaz = western region of present Saudi Arabia)}
Iqbal never visited Hijaz but he wanted that when his body was dissolved in the soil, that soil would be blown by the wind to Makkah/Madina.
