one thing i read above written by the dr hussain .. that iqbal rejected the idead of Hazrat Mahdi......is not true ............. but one thing is for sure Iqbal never talked about Mahdi neither he rejected nor he preached that Mahdi will come .. because at that time scenario was different world was changing.........new countries were coming into being ........... and iqbal was the person who asked Quaid to come back to sub-continent and lead muslims of sub-continent .......... and conspiracy of Ghulam Mirza Ahmed Qadyani has taken place............you see iqbal was wise enough to not to talk about Mahdi............and the question why not ............ Because it would have been an immense fitnah within muslims because so many muslims were accepting ahmedi islam just for money ........... and if iqbal has said about Mahdi then muslims would have been confused even some of them should have considered Quaid as their masiha for sure ............ so iqbal avoided the conflict between muslims .............. iqbal was of 19th century ............. he had the great knowledge of QURRAN and Hadees that is why i believe he thought it would be better not to utter a word for the coming of Hazrat Mahdi AS
