Kafir Hai To Hai Taaba-e-taqdeer Musalmaan — Allama Iqbal
Meaning
If he is an infidel, he is the ruin of fate for the Muslim; but if he is a believer, then He is the divine destiny.
Explanation
This powerful couplet by Allama Iqbal contrasts two paths of life. The first line suggests that for the non-believer, destiny is merely a cycle of ruin and struggle. However, the second line offers profound solace: for the true believer, destiny is not random; it is intrinsically linked to the Divine Will. It’s a reminder that faith provides not just hope, but a guaranteed connection to a higher purpose.
