From idols, you have hopes; from God, you have faith. Tell me, truly, what is impiety?

This profound couplet by Allama Iqbal is a sharp critique of misplaced devotion. The poet observes that the person addresses both idols and God, creating a state of spiritual ambiguity. He then challenges the listener with a rhetorical question: if you are caught between worshiping false gods and dedicating oneself to the divine, what exactly constitutes 'infidelity' (Kafirri)? It forces us to examine the purity and singularity of our belief.
