Today, I read
a biography of a famous poet in this era, Dr Iqbal from Pakistan. I read few of his poems that was translated into Malay language but I couldn’t remember them only that I realize that they are beautiful. From the biography, it mentions that Allama Iqbal was one of the pioneer in the creation of Pakistan State. I am going to dig it further from here and google it more. Anyway I would like to put here some excerpt of his speech.
I would like to offer a few pieces of advice to the youngmen who are at present studying at Cambridge …… I advise you to guard against atheism and materialism. The biggest blunder made by Europe was the separation of Church and State. This deprived their culture of moral soul and diverted it to the atheistic materialism. I had twenty-five years ago seen through the drawbacks of this civilization and therefore had made some prophecies. They had been delivered by my tongue although I did not quite understand them. This happened in 1907….. After six or seven years, my prophecies came true, word by word. The European war of 1914 was an outcome of the aforesaid mistakes made by the European nations in the separation of the Church and the State.
