Mohammad Iqbal's views on the nature of 'intuition' would state:
Show Hint
- Intuition is immediate knowledge of the Reality (God)
- Intuitive experience is not only subjective but also objective
- Intuition is a property of the heart
- Intuition is the property of the mind and the intellect
The Correct Option is A, B, C
Solution and Explanation
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
. \[ \boxed{\text{Hence, (A), (B), and (C) are correct; (D) is not.}} \]
