Inspired by some lines of Dara Shikoh who wrote already 300 years before Iqbal:
Paradise is, where there is no Mullah.
This is what Iqbal wrote:
I was there and could not keep my mouth shut,
When God gave the order: ‘Into paradise with this Mullah!’
I said modestly: ‘Forgive me, o God!
Huris and wine will not be to his liking.
Heaven is no place for disputes,
While discussions and fights are close to his nature.
The one who incites the people of different sects
To start quarrels with one another,
For him there are no temples or churches in heaven!’
