Biography: Iqbal was born in Lahore, Pakistan in 1954. He graduated from the University of the Punjab, Lahore in 1976. He earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada in 1983,[2] but thereafter worked only briefly as a chemist and eventually quit the field to pursue devote himself to literature, history, philosophy and religion. Iqbal began his career as a biochemist and held academic and research positions at universities in the United States and Canada. He taught Urdu at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (1984). In 1990, he moved back to Pakistan where he first worked at the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation (COMSTECH) and then at the Pakistan Academy of Sciences.
At COMSTECH, he developed programs for scientific and technical cooperation among Muslim states and traveled extensively to many parts of the Muslim world. He was also the editor of Islamic Thought and Scientific Creativity—an international refereed journal in the field of Islam and science. When his efforts to fundamentally reform COMSTECH failed, he resigned and returned to Canada in 1999 and established the Center for Islam and Science the same year.
