اقبال کے نثری اسلوب کا تنقیدی جائزہ

A Critical Analysis of Iqbal's Prose Style

Abstract

The significant feature of Iqbal's literary cult is that he presents even serious and intellectual content interestingly and colourfully. Like poetry, his prose, too, at times, is equipped with the semblance of characterisation. Especially while explaining certain academic doctrines, his visualisation paints such pictures as lively and self-realistic. Here, Iqbal's writing is blended with a special approach focusing solidly on philosophical issues. Scholarly terminologies and unique vocabulary of Arabic and Persian are also found in his theories of Self-realisation and the like, but the clear depiction is evident everywhere. Maximum presentation with limited use of words is a common feature of Iqbal's writing, as the same becomes all the more important in letters. In such instances, there is no room for extended writing, and because the writer has a belief in the academic pursuits of the bearer, he can adopt a path of eloquence with ease. In such writings, ordinary readers can easily understand Iqbal's point of view. Without exaggeration, it can be stated that such writings are more comprehensive in understanding Iqbal's thought than the philosophical intricacies prevalent in the writings of Iqbal's admirers. In light of these, certain complexities of Iqbal's thought can easily be understood.
