Abstract

In the early nineteenth century, an intellectual and literary movement emerged in Germany that came to be known as the “Oriental Movement.” This movement was marked by a growing interest among German writers and thinkers in Eastern literature, particularly Persian poetry. In the preface to his Persian poetic collection Payam-e-Mashriq (1923), Allama Muhammad Iqbal referred to this trend and recognized it as a literary movement.This article examines the historical background, underlying causes, and major representatives of the movement in Germany. It further argues that, with this movement in view, Iqbal outlined a significant research framework in the preface to Payam-e-Mashriq, highlighting new avenues for the study of Eastern–Western literary and intellectual interactions. This research contributes to comparative literature, intellectual history, and postcolonial studies by underscoring Iqbal’s enduring relevance in cross-cultural exchanges.
