Iqbal about Tipu Sultan



I have lighted a different fire in the heart,
I have brought a tale from the Deccan.
I have a shining sword on my side;
I am drawing it out gradually from the scabbard
I speak a subtle point about the martyr tipu sultan;
I fear the festival day might turn bitter.
I proceeded to kiss his dust,
There i heard from his holy grave;
If one cannot live a manly life in this world
Then to sacrifice life,like a man,is life
( After visiting the tomb of Tipu Sultan)
sayings of Tipu Sultan:
"Better a lion's life for two days than a jackal's life for two hundred years"

'There can be no glory or achievements if the foundation of our places, roads and dams are mingled with the tears and blood of humanity'....."

"ya Allah, it is better to die beneath the clouds of battle raining blood upon heads than to live a life of shame and degradation"

ILM al-KALAM : THE JABARITIES AND QADIRITIES

The Jabarities It is the group of Jahm ibn Safwan and his adherents. He was advocate of pure determinism. Due to his thought he was put to death by Salim ibn Ahwas al-Mazini in Marw in the last days of the Umayyads. Jabr is a doctrine which denies that a deed is in reality to be attributed to man, as ascribes it to god. There are two main groups of jabarities. 1) The pure Jabarities who do not allow any deed at all to man, not even the power to act. 2) The moderate Jabarities who admit that man has power but maintain that it is a power which is in no way effective.
