It is a dilemma of our nation that whenever we define some hero,we start trying to prove that he was form our sect and he ahd no concern or soft corner for other sects.
The debate to Prove Quaid e Azam as Ismaili,Athna Ash'ari and Brelvi had beun decades ago.I ahve'nt mentioned deobandi here because deobandi scholars did'nt consider him Muslim at all.AtaUllah Shah Bukhari ,the leader of Majlis e ehrar and deobandi by sect used to declare Quaid e Azam as Kafir e Azam and Pakistan as Paleedistan.Later Justice Munir Commission had givern verdict against him.
The same has happened with Iqbal where different people have tried to prove him shia,wahhabi and Sufi etc.I am not an expert of Iqbal Studies but when i analyzed different poetic expressions of Iqbal,i felt as if Iqbal kept changing his views one after another.
At some stage of his life he was almost sick of Sufi'ism and Khanqahs.At other occasions he is found to be saying poetic verses in the praise of mystics and qalandars etc.At one stage of his life he says that he does'nt care whether Mriza Nasir (khalifa of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani) is the awaited leader or not.His concept about Imam Mehdi are also vague.
Yet we find certain poetic verses and poems of his about the sheer respect and love of Household of Prophet Salla'l la ho alayehi waa aalihi wasallam.Shia use those poetic verses of him to prove him a shia.
Sufis say that the idea of a separate homeland had come to him in "Daata Darbar" and that he had done meditation on the shrine of Hazrat Mujaddid Alf Thaani.Therefore he was a sufi.
Whatever the opinion of the people may be,i personally think that it was due to his sheer respect and love for ahl e bayt e Rasul Salla'lla ho alaye hi wa aalihi wasallam that he got so much recognition and particualrly due to this one poetic verse :
"Insan ko baedar toh ho lenay do
Har Qaum pukaray gi,hamaray hain Hussain"
Translation : Let the mankind come into conscious.(If it happened so),each nation will claim that our ideology is that of Hussain alaye hi salam
Since he ahd so much respect for ahl e bayt,each nation is claiming that Iqbal is our hero,our philosopher,our poet.
