For Iqbal, becoming a mard-e-momin entails the development of the
self.
The development of the self in it self has three stages.
(1) submission
(2) self control
(3) divine vicegerency
submission
submission
to GOD means to recognize and bow to the divine law. but Iqbal
doesn’t believe that this
is necessarily annihilation in to GOD rather absorbing GOD
in one self.
Self control
Second stage in education the self is when it is able to command
itself
,the perfect submission to discipline. says Iqbal.
Divine Vicegerency
The
third stage in development of self is Niabat-e Ilaahi. Iqbal’s
poetry is full of poems with the topic of mard-e-momin who
wakes and sleeps for GOD alone and executes the commands of
Allah in
this world.
