لا أقود حزبًا، ولا أتبع زعيمًا. لقد أفنيتُ أجمل ما في عمري في دراسة الإسلام دراسةً متأنّية: شريعته ونظامه، وثقافته وتاريخه وآدابه.

“I lead no party; I follow no leader. I have given the best part of my life to careful study of Islam, its law and polity, its culture, its history and its literature.”Muhammad Iqbal — Speeches, Writings, and Statements of Iqbal (2005)
