Allama Iqbal
Allama Iqbal (1877-1938) was a renowned philosopher, poet, and politician in British India, who is widely regarded as having inspired the Pakistan Movement. Iqbal's poetry, primarily in Persian and Urdu, reflects his deep concern for the socio-political issues faced by Muslims in India and his vision for a separate nation for them. He is celebrated for his passionate verses that advocate for self-discovery, spiritual awakening, and the importance of faith. His famous poems include 'Shikwa' and 'Jawab-e-Shikwa', which express his grievances about the plight of Muslims and their call to action. Iqbal's influential ideas continue to resonate in contemporary discussions on identity, freedom, and justice.
