Dr Shahida Yusuf — 2024-12-30

The grandeur of Mathnawi "Assrare-Khudi, with its uniquely inspiring thought content, sent shock waves to some academic and religious circles. As Iqbal has pointed out, there is a glaring difference and conflict between the religious conscience of Islam and the prevalent mystical tradition of wahdat ul wojood (Unity of Existence) under the influence of Ibne Arabi and Hafiz Shirazi. The people who were staunchly following the above-mentioned mystical tradition opened up a front against Iqbal with a malicious war of words. This front was opened up by some religious stalwarts and orientalists; amongst them were Khaja Hassan Nizami and Dickenson. In this article, Iqbal's logical defence of his poetic manifesto in the form of his epigramatic Mathnawi "Assrar e Khudi has been brought into light. Miscomprehension of Iqbal's terms, symbols, and meanings led to the objections raised by some stalwarts; Iqbal answered these objections with scholarly wisdom.

Dr. Arshad Mehmood — 2024-12-30

The Mirror of Beauty " (originally titled "Kai Chand They Sarr-e-Aasman") by Shamsur Rahman Faruqi is a novel set in 19th-century India that captures the era's rich culture through the story of Wazir Khanum, mother of the poet Daagh Dehlvi. In translating his Urdu novel to English, Faruqi skillfully maintains the cultural and linguistic essence of the original, blending Urdu, Persian, and Sanskrit elements without translation, which challenges English dominance in postcolonial literature. Through "appropriation" and "abrogation," he uses English to express Indian identity while rejecting Eurocentric norms. His narrative, deeply rooted in Mughal and Indo-Persian aesthetics, serves as a powerful resistance to colonial cultural imposition, reclaiming space for indigenous voices.
