Why Shaheen in Iqbal's poetry? Podcast

Shaheen…Does that word ever ring a bell? For the past few years, since I started reading, learning and understanding Iqbal’s poetry, there was a question that started roaming in my mind.

    Gain Clarity

    Clarity is important to create a fulfilling life. Without it, we have nothing to focus on and we attract chaos in life, leading to mediocrity and dissatisfaction. If you don’t know what to do in life and feel stuck, confused, lost, or uncertain, know that it’s not the end. It’s in fact the beginning of something good that’s about to happen.
