    Note: Please dont confuse with the word prediction. English language doesnt have exacttranslation for several urdu/farsi/arabic words like Kashf, Ilhaam, Bashaarat, Baseerat,Khudi, Taqwah, Tawakkul, Tasuwwuf, 'Faqar' etc. Other words with same understanding,

    used in English are Prophecy, Precognition, Influx, Foresee and Prognostication. Most of predictions in this blog are spiritual (i.e. not astrological/numerological) so use whatever wordinstead of prediction .

    Dr. Allama Iqbal wasnt just a poet; he can be regarded as a great Mystical Visionary who can seeway ahead of his time in future through his vast Islamic spiritual knowledge base. Lets discoverwhat Iqbal has predicted in his Books Bang-e-Dra, Zarb-e-Kaleem, Baal-e-Jibreel and Armaghan-e-Hijaz for the Rise and Renaissance of Muslims.

    Read English translation below each verse

    The lion who had emerged from the desert and had toppled the Roman Empire, is, as I am toldby the angels, about to get up again (from his sleep)

    Whatever the eye is seeing cannot be described by the lips, I am lost in amazement as to what the world will become!, The night will eventually disappear by suns appearance! This

    garden will be filled with Light of Tauhid (Oneness of God)

    Events(incident) as yet folded(hidden) in the scroll of time, Reflect in the mirror of my perception

    Tomorrow is still hidden in intention, but its dawn is flashing before my eyes.

    Plans will be reversed, destiny will be changed; this is a fact with truth, not fiction of my thought.

    My hearts mirror shows me both worlds secrets; I relate exactly what I witness before my eyes.

    The same storm is raging today in the souls of Muslim, A Divine secret it is, Not for the lipsto utter, Let us see what surfaces from the depths of the deep. Let us see what color, The

    blue sky changes into.

    However the griefs night gives the message of Eids morning, In the darkness of the night,the ray of hope has appeared.

    The storm in the West made Muslims Muslims, Pearls are produced in abundance from the very buffetings (shaking) of the sea; The true believers are once more to receive from the

    court of God; the glory of the Turkamans, the intellects of the Indians (referring GreatMuslim conquerors and Mystics of India ), and the eloquence of the Arabs.

    Open your eyes and look at the mirror of my words; see a hazy picture of the age(time) tocome.

    Look into hearts mirror for destiny manifestation; The sky will shine mirror-like with themornings light; and the nights darkness will be speeding away! The spring breeze will be somelody inspiring; The flower beds silent fragrance will become so melodious! The gardens

    afflicted (suffered) ones will unite with other afflicted (suffered) ones.

    By Men whose eyes see far and wide, new cities shall be founded; Not by old Kufa or Bagdadis my thoughts vision bounded (seeing new cities better than old Kufa and Baghdad times).

    The gardener should not be upset by seeing the gardens state; Branches are about to appearfrom the bunches of buds; The garden will be cleared soon of the waste and trash; The red of

    the martyrs blood will be producing rose buds; Look a little the color of the sky somewhatred is; This the glowing of the horizon by the rising sun is!

    No wonder if the Muslims gain, their ancient glory once again; Sanjars Splendor pomp andstate(sovereign authority), the piety(piousness) and faqar of mystics great.

    From the heavens comes an answer to our long cries at last: the heavens break their silence,the curtains rise at last! The cloistered (shut off from world) hour is over, the

    arenas(appear) hour begins; The lightening comes to asunder(apart) those cloudy skies atlast! It was too hard to withhold (hold back) the flood of these truths, At last the Qalander

    revealed (told) the secrets of the Book.

    O Zealous (passionate) Faqar, Now your time is going to come! This Frankish soul is stained with the greed of wealth and gold! If Muslim faith offends the West! Let West in its own

    anger burn; This faith is known by another name 'zealous faqar'

    I gleaned (learned) from Jalal-ud-deen Rumis company, One Bold Heart is worth of learned heads the whole tame pack.

    The dream which Islam saw of general freedom - Oh Muslim see the interpretation of thatdream today.

    Your real worth is hidden, other people are yet to see whats true;The Lord of the worldsassembly has yet much need of you.; By your breath lives the world and is kept animate; You are

    its destined leader, you the star of fate; There is no time to relax, much still remains to bedone;You have yet to fully spread the light of God, the only one.

    Read again the lesson of truth, of justice and valor! You will be asked to do the work of taking on responsibility for the world.

    My grave is like a shrine, for men of thought and courage; I taught poor dust to tower hill-high in air; The beauty of meaning need not be adorned by my craft. Nature does herself

    incarnadine (care and color) the tulip red(rose)

    Though this voice has emerged from Iqbals lips, its source is unknown; The assembly gothopes message as well as became restless for activism.

    Lamentation is necessary but now that is over; Now control your heart a little and see theeffect of the lament.

    Rise, for a new age dawns; Your era begins in East and West.

    Allah has faith in Momins might and will; the machines of Europe Satans alliance; Whoknows the nations fates?but signs abound(enough), if Muslims are wakeful.

    Intellect is your shield, Love is your sword; My dervish ! Your vice-regency (Khilafat) is

    world-conquering; Your Takbir like fire for Godlessness is; If you are Muslim your prudence your destiny is; If you are loyal to M uhamm ad (PBUH ) we are yours; This universe isnothing, the Tablet and the Pen are yours.

    Take not my rhymes for poet's art; I know the secrets of nature.

    The secrets of life are exposed to my view: I cannot be said to have despaired of waging thestruggle of life; How can I be frightened By the transient scene of sorrow? I believe in the

    destiny of my Ummah (Community)! Of the element of despair my life is free, The heat of the battle gives notice of complete victory; I keep in view that exciting ageIn the mirror of

    the past I see the future.
