When truth has no burning, then it is philosophy, when it gets burning from the heart, it becomes poetry. – Muhammad Iqbal
Yet higher religion, which is only a search for a larger life, is essentially experience and recognized the necessity of experience as its foundation long before science learnt to do so. – Muhammad Iqbal
Another way of judging the value of a prophets religious experience, therefore, would be to examine the type of manhood that he has created, and the cultural world that has sprung out of the spirit of his message. – Muhammad Iqbal
Indeed, in view of its function, religion stands in greater need of a rational foundation of its ultimate principles than even the dogmas of science. – Muhammad Iqbal
