Will Syria War make Allama Iqbal’s prophesy about Iran a reality? In 1930s, Poet of East Allama Iqbal had said that if Tehran becomes Geneva of the East then the fate of the world will be dramatically changed. He had said this after closely observing the falling sick Europe and the slaved Asia. In his poem titled “Inquilab” in the collection Bal-e Jibreel, Allama Iqbal wrote much before the World War II: Na Asia mein na Europe mein Soz-o Saz-e Hayat Khudi ki maut hai ye aur woh Zameer ki maut Dilon mein walwala-e Inquilab hai paida Qareeb Agayi Shayad Jahan-e Pir ki maut Author Zafar Iqbal says some of the prophesies of Iqbal in the above two couplets have come true and some others are going to be. He had said that both Asia and Europe have lost the tempo of living nations. Slavery has killed the self respect in Asia while atheism and communism have eaten into the heart of Europe and both are going to fall. The author says the World War II finished the empire of Europe and Soviet Union of Russia broke into pieces in the 1990s. Now it is the turn of America and the rest of Europe who are suffering with the ailments of thought, economy and military hegemony. Poet Iqbal in his poem “Jamiat-e Aqwam-e Mashriq” in the same Bal-e Jibreel had predicted Iran would become a superpower. Dekha hai Malukiyat-e Afrang ne jo Khwab Mumkin hai ki Us Khwab ki Tabir badal Jaye Tehran ho gar Alam-e Mashriq ke Geneva Shayad Kurra-e Arz ki Taqdir Badal Jaye Poet Iqbal said the dreams of Europe and West (regarding their rule on the world both west and east) may not come true. If Tehran becomes Geneva of the East, the fortunes of the entire world will be changed.
