Read the passage and answer. Allama Muhammad Iqbal was not only a great poet but also a philosopher whose ideas inspired the Muslims of the subcontinent. In his famous Allahabad Address of 1930, he presented the idea of a separate homeland for the Muslims of north-western India. His poetry, written in both Urdu and Persian, urged young people to discover their khudi, or selfhood, and to rise above despair through action and faith. Although he died in 1938, nine years before the creation of Pakistan, he is rightly called the spiritual father of the nation. It can be inferred from the passage that Iqbal:

1. was mainly a politician
2. wrote only in Urdu
3. did not live to see Pakistan's creation
4. opposed the idea of a separate homeland
