حرفی چند با امت عربیہ

علم و حکمت ریزہ ئی از خوان کیست؟آیہ ’’فاصبحتم‘‘ اندر شأن کیست؟

English translation

From whom did the world gain knowledge? For whom is the (Qur’anic) verse revealed: ‘You became?
(Iqbal says that modern knowledge of sciences and arts is the legacy which Europe received from the Muslim world. ‘You became’. Reference is to the Qur’anic verse, 3-102: And remember Allah’s favour to you when you were enemies; then He united your hearts, so by His favour you became brethren.)

Translated by Bashir Ahmad Dar

Urdu translation

علم و حکمت کس کے دسترخوان کا ریزہ ہے؟ یہ آیت کہ 'تم ان کی نعمت سے بھائی بھائی بن گئے ' کس کی شان میں نازل ہوئی؟
