Throughout his life, Iqbal would prefer writing in Persian as he believed it allowed him to fully express philosophical concepts, and it gave him a wider audience. [85]
Muhammad Iqbal (1877–1938), poet and philosopher known for his influential efforts to direct his fellow Muslims in British-administered India toward the establishment of a separate Muslim state, an aspiration that was eventually realized in the country of Pakistan. He was knighted in 1922.
He spent most of his time in reading, writing, and receiving visitors of all backgrounds from far and wide. He was a very great conversationalist; a very informal man, lying on his divan ‑‑‑ bed with hardly any clothes on, i.e. of a very simple sort: he was in his pyjamas more or less.
While in Europe, Iqbal, in fact, became sceptical of the need to write poetry at all: it seems that the opportunity for reflection and observation afforded by his stay in Europe compelled him to rethink the poet’s role in society.

This concern is reflected in much of Iqbal’s writing. He believed passionately in freedom, which he considered to be ‘the very breath of vital living’ (Saiyidain 1960: 40). Believing fervently in human equality and the right of human beings to dignity, justice, and freedom, Iqbal empowered the disempowered to stand up and be counted.
