Allama Muhammad Iqbal was a poet, philosopher, and political thinker who envisioned the idea of an independent Muslim state, which later became Pakistan. His poetry awakened the Muslim youth and instilled in them a sense of pride, identity, and purpose. He is known for his powerful verses in Urdu and Persian that speak of self-realization, unity, and divine love. Iqbal’s thoughts laid the ideological foundation for the Pakistan Movement, earning him the title “Spiritual Father of Pakistan.”
