Allama Iqbal died on April 21, 1938, even before Pakistan's independence


Lahore: The 87th death anniversary of the poet of the East, thinker of Pakistan Dr Allama Muhammad Iqbal, is being observed on Monday.
Allama Muhammad Iqbal dreamed of a separate homeland and breathed a new spirit of awakening among the Muslims of the subcontinent with his poetry. His famous presidential address in Allahabad in 1930 is of historical significance. Pakistan came into existence due to the teachings of Allama Iqbal and the tireless efforts of Quaid-e-Azam.
The thinker of Pakistan, Allama Muhammad Iqbal, was born on November 9, 1877, in Sialkot. He received his early education in Sialkot. He passed his matriculation examination from Mission High School and his FA examination from Murray College, Sialkot.
After this, Allama Iqbal did a Master's in Philosophy from Government College, Lahore, and then went to England for higher education, where he obtained a law degree. Later, he went to Germany, where he obtained a PhD degree in Philosophy from the University of Munich.
He also taught at the Oriental College, but adopted law as a permanent profession. Along with law, Allama Iqbal continued to write poetry and also participated in political movements. In 1922, he was given the title of ‘Sir’ by the government.
The thinker of Pakistan is counted among the history-making figures of the Indian subcontinent. Allama Iqbal not only presented the concept of Pakistan but also conveyed a universal message to Muslims, youth, and society through his poetry.
Allama Iqbal’s famous collection of poetry includes Bang-e-Dara, Zarb-e-Kaleem, Armaghan Hijaz, and Bal-e-Jibril. The current situation demands that the message of unity and togetherness be disseminated through the poetry of Allama Iqbal.
The thinker of Pakistan, Iqbal, breathed a new spirit of awakening into the Muslim nation of the subcontinent with his poetry. It was through the efforts of Allama Iqbal that the Pakistan Movement gained strength and, under the leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, on August 14, 1947, an independent homeland, Pakistan, was achieved.
Allama Iqbal died on April 21, 1938, even before Pakistan's independence. However, as a great poet and thinker, the nation will always be grateful to him. The tomb of this great poet of the nation is located in the premises of the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore.
