The problem with Iqbal's concept is that most humans do not have the time or patience to get the light out of the Koran, assuming that there is such a thing in that book. If they were to do that they would spend most of their lifetime dong just that. Would they have much time to contribute to life what they are enjoying from the innovations of people who refuse to do such a thing?

The definitive root of all occurrence is a will directed rationally
Allah is the unique name given to safeguard its individuality
The Quran negates the pantheistic interpretation
and stresses upon a personalistic conception
In a universe governed by change and relativity
The only absolute constant is light's velocity
Thus light is a metaphor for God but doesn't mean omnipresence
Unlike the perception of other Muslim thinkers of prominence
Even the word 'infinity' doesn't signify spatial extension
But intensity of which this universe is a mere expression
Since the cosmos is dynamic, God is essentially creative
In the affairs of all creations, He is always active
The Ultimate Self is omniscient and All-knowing
but His knowledge isn't like that of a finite being
It is not discursive that passes from subject to subject
But He himself forms the ground of the known object
Omnipotence is undoubtedly His Divine Wisdom's consequence
It isn't only reflected in miracles but in everyday experience
There is no clash between it and evil's immensity
For life to be a challenge, it is man's propensity
A Muslim should believe in goodness's eventual victory
Although it's in contradiction with the present history
God lives in both serial time and eternity
The glorious Quran affirms its possibility
Iqbal was not just a philosopher but also a true lover of God
No wonder his thoughts were in cohesion rather than discord!
