Chapter 10 of “Maktobaat e Iqbal” offers a glimpse into the personal correspondence of the legendary poet-philosopher Allama Muhammad Iqbal. In this chapter, one finds a letter addressed to Mr. Maulana, revealing Iqbal’s health struggles and the concern of his well-wishers.
Despite his ailment, Iqbal expresses gratitude for Hakim Ajmal Khan Sahib’s efforts to send medicine from Delhi, though it had limited efficacy. A glimmer of hope arises when a Hakeem Sahib from Gurdaspur, having learned of Iqbal’s illness, personally arrives with potentially beneficial medicines. Interestingly, one of the ingredients contains Ikhlas, alluding to its spiritual significance.
