Noor muhammad remained a major influence on Iqbal especially in  terms of mystical tendentiousness would recall incidents of spiritual nature about him from childhood and it was he  who caught him a key concept about the Qur'an  the holly book can  reveal itself to the  readers  according to  their spiritual degrees.

his creator and burst into tears", iqbal narrates about him in a letter.
