Allama Muhammad Iqbal
Allama Muhammad Iqbal was a prominent philosopher, poet, and politician in British India, widely regarded as one of the most important figures in Urdu literature. Born on November 9, 1877, in Sialkot, Iqbal is best known for his poetry that inspired the movement for Pakistan and his vision for a separate homeland for Muslims in the Indian subcontinent. His famous address at the All-India Muslim League session in Allahabad in 1930 laid the philosophical groundwork for the creation of Pakistan. Iqbal's works emphasize self-discovery, spiritual awakening, and the importance of unity among Muslims, making him a key figure in the intellectual and cultural revival of the Muslim community. He is often referred to as the 'Spiritual Father of Pakistan' and is celebrated annually on his death anniversary for his contributions to literature and political thought.
