The student: By means of, meaning he entered the Islamic world through his poetic thought, meaning through poetry, and poetry usually has many literary angles and does not necessarily reveal the creed...
The Shaykh: Imaginary intentions.
The student: Yes, indeed. Second, those who translated for him, such as 'Abd al-Rahman al-'Azam and others, gave him something of his personality and ideas.
Another student: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace. Yes.
The student: So the people of the East were greatly impressed by him, and they established schools and institutes in his name, and the Iqbal group. And among those who were good in praising Iqbal was Professor Abu al-Hasan al-Nadwi, who wrote the book *Masterpieces of Iqbal*. Naturally, the Muslim brothers who did not have a correct creed and sound concepts of the correct Islamic perceptions were unable to expose Iqbal and the Iqbal symbol, because these people sympathize with the general Islamic perspective, meaning a man who defends Islam, praises Islam, and praises Muslims, but he spreads dangerous and deviant ideas. It is necessary, it is necessary for us now, especially in these days, to place keys for exposure or criteria for measurement to measure every thinker against the Islamic creed, so that a person can subject any thinker, writer, or individual to sound truths using the Sharia standards of distinction. If we place, for example, the important criterion for classification through the well-known saying among people, "Tell me who you associate with, and I will tell you who you are," we can borrow this saying to say, "Tell me how you deal with the Noble Qur'an and the Prophetic Sunnah, and I will tell you on which methodology you are." If you deal with them by denial of the divine attributes, I will tell you you are a materialist or a Qadari. If you deal with them by figurative interpretation, I will tell you you are a Mu'tazili. And if you deal with such-and-such, meaning every interaction with the Sharia text can be classified. So this criterion is possible, meaning we believe as Muslims to distinguish writers and thinkers and put their books and ideas on the correct test.
The Shaykh : You have done well.
The Shaykh: Imaginary intentions.
The student: Yes, indeed. Second, those who translated for him, such as 'Abd al-Rahman al-'Azam and others, gave him something of his personality and ideas.
Another student: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace. Yes.
