If Mr Paracha thinks Allamah Iqbal was an "islamist" like maududi, then he is mistaken, and has lost it. This utopia he is talking about is the complete opposite of the utopia that Allamah Iqbal was actually talking about. I am sure, Mr Paracha is not a spiritual person.
How can Allamah Iqbal be worse than Maududi, a person whose ideology gave birth to organizations as the TTP. This is a mind boggling accusation.
Allamah Iqbal in 1934, attended a Lahore Rally conducted by the great Scholar of India, Shaykh Hamid Rida of Bareilly. In it Allamah Iqbal, came up to him at the end, and humbled himself in utter shame reminding of the majesty of God, and his concern for Muslims in India. No extremism of any sort, but only service to humanity.
Allamah Iqbal also had close relationship with Shaykh Jamat Ali Shah of Sialkot. And Allama Iqbal spent the last years of his life in utter modesty and spirituality. He wrote couplets that showed nothing but concern, love, and kindness to all of humanity. He kept the company of others, this is the point.
