All\u0101meh Iqb\u0101l Lahori was an intellectual whose thoughts and vision transcended geographical boundaries. He was always woeful about the circumstances of the Muslim world making efforts to find out solutions to revive Muslims\u2019 majesty and diligent. It was his wish to see human beings coming towards Islam and Muslims\u2019 unity and fraternity in order to remove hatred and conflicts from the world making it peaceful and calm. In order to approach more Muslims and convey his message to more people, he chose Persian Dari as the basic language for his poems; most of his poetry is in Persian as he liked Persian-speakers a lot.
Iqb\u0101l was devoted to Afghanistan and Afghan nation strongly and he expressed his sincerity in poetry. In 1933, he traveled to Afghanistan by invitation of the king of Afghanistan Mohammad N\u0101dir Khan, father of Z\u0101hir Shah. Mawlana Sayyed Suleiman Nadawi (senior teacher at Darululoom Nadwat-\u016bl-Ulama and supervisor of Dar\u016bl-M\u016bsannifeen Azamgarh, India) and Sir Ross Masood (Vice-Chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University, India) also accompanied Iqb\u0101l Lahori in the trip. The result of this journey is the “traveler\/M\u016bs\u0101fir” poem, which depicts the most beautiful poems of All\u0101me’s pure and subtle feelings to this land and its great historical personalities. Iqb\u0101l has a contemplative look at Afghanistan. He considers Afghanistan the heart of Asia whose stability or instability affects the whole region; the thing which observe it well nowadays that how incidents in Afghanistan influence the entire region. Iqb\u0101l thinks two Muslim ethnic communities \u2013 Arabs and Afghans \u2013 enjoy great competencies.
In an Urdu poem Iqb\u0101l says: R\u016bmi has changed, Sh\u0101mi has changed, India has changed; O son of mountain! Recognize yourself; O neglectful Afghan! Recognize yourself. By saying \u201cMard-e K\u016bist\u0101ni\u201d, Iqb\u0101l means the Afghan nation. He was very devoted to this nation and used to advise them that as their ancestors, they should go on the correct path and reach to real self-scrutiny in order to advance their destiny towards the good.
The other advice of Iqb\u0101l to Afghan nation is to get education and avoid from the acts which have no educational bases. Then they can protect their religion and material lives in the best possible method.
Iqb\u0101l thinks deep affiliation of Afghan people with the tribal system is one of the main reasons behind the backwardness of Afghanistan and its domestic problems. Absolute ethnicism persuades an individual to consider himself away from his united nation. Then he becomes unable to move along with other tribes and ethnic communities to a stable and united country.
