This original animated video summarizes the Islamic ruling of the concept of the "Modern Nation State" in addition to expounding its dangers in 2 minutes. The writer Allama Dr. Muhammad Iqbal who was one of the most influential intellectuals of the 20th century. He was a scholar, philosopher and poet but more important, he was a true believer and devotee of the Prophet PBUH. He was a firm believer in the renaissance of Islamic civilization. The poem is taken from collection of poetry "Bange-e-Dara", first published in 1924. Here, Iqbal has expressed his views on the concept of the modern nation state which is based on a confined territory. His personal resentment on these is quite clear, even though he advocated a separate nation state for the Muslims of the subcontinent. That he believed  was a necessary evil to put an end to their oppression. Iqbal is a one of the finest poets of the Urdu language; some consider him the greatest. His poetry is centered on the loss of the Muslim identity in the modern age and its revival.
