On Thursday morning, to commemorate the 146th anniversary of the poet, philosopher, and thinker Allama Dr. Muhammad Iqbal’s birth, a ceremony to change the guards was performed at his mausoleum.
The principal guest at the occasion was Commodore Sajid Hussain, the head of the Pakistan Navy’s Lahore station. He expressed his opinions in the guest book and presented Fateha at the tomb.
The Pakistan Navy contingent assumed responsibility for the mausoleum’s security.
In the meantime, there is the customary fervor and excitement with which the birth anniversary is being celebrated today, Thursday. Today is a public holiday, as proclaimed by the federal government.
On November 9, 1877, in Sialkot, Iqbal was born. In addition, he is acknowledged as the national poet of Pakistan and goes by the names Muffakir-e-Pakistan (Pakistani thinker), Shair-e-Mashriq (Poet of the East), and Hakeemul Ummat. He is also recognized for initiating pan-Islamic philosophy among the subcontinent’s Muslim population.
Pakistan was founded in 1947 as a result of his goal of creating a distinct state for the Muslims living on the subcontinent.
He is regarded as one of the most significant writers of all time and has written in both Persian and Urdu. Among his greatest compositions were Asrar-e-Khudi, Payam-i-Mashriq, Bang-i-Dara, Bal-i-Jibril, Zarb-i Kalim, and Armughan-e-Hijaz.
Organizations devoted to politics, society, and culture have planned events that will showcase Iqbal’s life philosophy and his role in raising awareness among South Asian Muslims.
Iqbal was a modern-day Sufi poet who used his poetry to arouse Muslims and give them a spirit of revolt that helped free them from the shackles of servitude. Translations of his poems have been published in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese, among other languages.
Sadly, he was unable to see Pakistan’s founding and passed away on April 21, 1938.
