THE UNIVERSE
regularly. Thus the universe is forever evolving and continues its journey towards its completion. Iqbal alluded to this fact as:
The universe still looks incomplete.
A voice forever repeats Be and it becomes.15
Be and it becomes is the Qur'anic expression kun fayakun (36: 82). This refers to the act of creation when God says: "Kun-Be" and it instantly happens. His command is instantaneously obeyed and whatever He orders comes into being. For Iqbal this universe is still an unfinished entity constantly undergoing change and development. Thus, it provides a stimulus to humanity's creative activity to achieve perfection by the power of their khudi (self).
The Qur'an stresses that human beings should reflect on the signs which are scattered all around them and should subdue and control the forces of nature as he is the vicegerent of God on Earth and as such have a role to play in shaping the universe. In this way humanity is required to display its creative faculty and unless its takes this initiative he will not be fulfilling his role in this world. Iqbal alludes to this in his poem Insan (Man):
If he wills he can change the shape of the garden;
This creature is wise, full of insight
and strong.

THE TREASURY SERIES IN ISLAMIC THOUGHT AND CIVILISATION
UHAMAD IQBAL (d.1938), thinker and philosopher - poet of
Mundo MAD JOBAL (1938)ent was one of the key architects of
contemporary Islam. Through the medium of his thoughtful writing and soul-transforming poetry, both Urdu and Persian, he infused a new spirit in the Muslims, not only of India and Pakistan but also Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia and the Middle East. He challenged the western concept of nationalism and expounded the concept of Islamic nations, on which the idea of Pakistan is based. A Treasury of Iqbal is a glimpse of his though and contribution.
