In the ideology part, it is has been mentioned that he embrassed the idea of pakistan in 1940 which is wrong as he died before that. 2405:201:2005:302E:DD08:7E80:480C:A221 (talk) 17:14, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

 Not done The sentence you point to refers to Jinnah, not Iqbal. Jinnah died in 1948.RegentsPark (comment) 19:03, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

We could be more specific. Allama Iqbal is a Pakistani poet, instead of a South Asian poet.

 Not done Unfortunately, Iqbal died before Pakistan was formed therefore he cannot be a Pakistani poet. RegentsPark (comment) 15:22, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
Allama Iqbal was British Indian or Indian rather than South Asian, surely ? Hollerpoller (talk) 16:20, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

"Sir Muhammad Iqbal"

I'm sure this must have been discussed somewhere in the voluminous talk archives for Allama Iqbal (and I'm probably stepping on somebody's toes by doing this) but I restored "Sir" to his name in the lede because he was widely referred to by that title during his lifetime. It was an honor awarded him for his literary achievements and not in any way a political title. Do we know if Allama Iqbal rejected this honor or repudiated it at some point in his career?

"Women hold up half the sky"

I am not qualified to write such a section, but, given the continually fraught situation of the political and social rights and status of women in the Subcontinent and in the Islamic world, we really should have a section on such an important thinker as Allama Iqbal on the rights of women, as encompassed in his philosophy and public policy. From what I have read, he was quite progressive in his support for women's rights. The child-bearing half of humanity needs some attention in this long and otherwise thorough article.

Change to section name "Muslim Countries" to "Arab Countries". That would be a more appropriate name for the section, given the content in the section. 2001:BB8:2002:98:D926:498D:A4F6:2B4A (talk) 11:46, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

 Not done: Indonesia is not Arab. jolielover♥talk 12:54, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
