Meaning

How Iqbal uses it

Action or deed — what a person actually does, the fruit by which faith is tested ("those who believe and do righteous deeds"). Iqbal places enormous weight on amal: faith, knowledge and even love are barren unless they issue in action. The whole arc of his thought runs from inner conviction to outward deed, and he measures the worth of the self by its creative, world-shaping works.
