Question

Mohammad Iqbal's views on the nature of 'intuition' would state:

• A. Intuition is immediate knowledge of the Reality (God)
• B. Intuitive experience is not only subjective but also objective
• C. Intuition is a property of the heart
• D. Intuition is the property of the mind and the intellect

Hint:

For Iqbal, heart \(\neq\) mere emotion; it is a cognitive–volitional center that yields immediate yet testable knowledge of Reality, complementing but surpassing discursive reason

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A, B, C

Iqbal identifies intuition (often linked to the Qur'ānic–Sufi idea of the qalb, or "heart") as an immediate, direct mode of knowing Ultimate Reality (God), not mediated by discursive reasoning $\Rightarrow$ this supports (A)
. He insists that genuine spiritual insight is not mere private feeling; it has an objective purchase on reality when disciplined and tested in life and history $\Rightarrow$ this supports (B)
. Iqbal consistently locates this faculty in the "heart" as a dynamic center of selfhood that synthesizes love, will, and knowledge, over and above the calculative intellect $\Rightarrow$ this supports (C)
. Option (D) is rejected because Iqbal treats the intellect/mind as necessary but insufficient for grasping the Absolute; intuition is not a mere property of discursive intellect
. \[ \boxed{\text{Hence, (A), (B), and (C) are correct; (D) is not.}} \]
