Short Reading List for an Upcoming @SapienceOrg Series

We’ll be exploring the profound thought of Muhammad Iqbal, focusing on one of his lesser-known yet brilliant works — The Devil’s Advisory Council. Through this series, we’ll examine the crisis of the modern secular world, uncover the hidden forces shaping it, and draw timeless wisdom from Iqbal’s penetrating insights.

About three years ago, I had the blessing of visiting the mosque in Peacehaven during a dawah training trip. It was a warm and welcoming space, dedicated to serving the local community and sharing the message of Islam with wisdom and compassion.

Sadly, this beautiful mosque was recently burnt down by vandals. A place that brought people together in worship, learning, and service has been reduced to ashes.

But the work must continue. I encourage everyone to support and help re-establish this mosque so that the amazing efforts taking place there can carry on stronger than before.

The Limit of Reason, The Light of Revelation: Iqbal's Epistemic Balance

In exploring Iqbal’s approach to harmonising reason and religion, we find a thoughtful middle ground that speaks to both the strengths and limits of human rationality. Iqbal, much like a bridge-builder, invites us to understand how different forms of knowing—rational thought and religious experience—are meant to complement rather than contradict each other.

Iqbal points out that in history, some traditions, like the Greek philosophical legacy, took reason to an extreme. They leaned heavily on rationalism as the primary route to truth, sometimes neglecting the depth that revelation and direct spiritual experience offer. On the other hand, some Muslim thinkers, as Iqbal notes, went to the opposite extreme, leaning so much into mystical or non-conceptual modes of religious experience that they sidelined the value of reason.

Iqbal’s vision is that the two are not enemies. Reason has its place and its limits—because it works step by step in the flow of time, it can only go so far. Revelation and religious intuition bring the whole picture into view. Once reason leads us to see that revelation is from the divine, it’s entirely rational to give revelation the final word.

In that sense, Iqbal is inviting us to a holistic epistemology: one that respects the role of intellect without turning it into an ultimate authority and that embraces revelation without dismissing the gift of reason. It’s a call to let each form of knowledge do what it does best and to find harmony rather than conflict between the mind and the soul.

Alḥamdulillāh, I’ve completed my MA in Islamic Studies. The academic process was a deeply enriching experience.

As valuable as the journey was, I’m reminded that the guidance found in the Book of Allah will always remain unmatched. The Qur’an is the ultimate source of knowledge and guidance. It leads to success in this life and the Hereafter.
