Keywords:
Mehmood Ghaznavi, Somnath, Iqbal, Heroism, Politics, PoetryAbstract
This research explores the endeavors of Sultan Mehmood Ghaznavi as portrayed in Iqbal's poetry. Iqbal motivated the Muslims of the Subcontinent through his poetic works, recalling Mehmood Ghaznavi as an idol-destroyer. Iqbal presents the past of the Muslims to contemporary Muslim society, aiming to inspire practical struggle among Muslims, particularly those in the subcontinent. He references numerous Muslim generals known for their military achievements in his Urdu and Persian poetry, including Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi. This study examines the accomplishments and efforts of Mahmud Ghaznavi with reference to Iqbal's poetry. The current era, characterized by significant changes, has deeply impacted human civilization, thought, and ideology. Materialism and Western civilization have permeated global culture, leading to a disinterest in the history of Islam among the new generation. It is essential to expose the younger generation to the bravery and achievements of their ancestors to foster a sense of pride in their heritage. This research contributes to this goal by using a qualitative research approach.
