Muhammad Iqbal

Muhammad Iqbal was a prominent philosopher, poet, and politician from British India, born in 1877. He is considered a spiritual father of Pakistan and is known for inspiring many with his poetry and ideas that emphasized self-awareness, cultural pride, and the importance of spiritual and intellectual growth. Iqbal’s work bridged Western philosophical ideas with Islamic thought, encouraging Muslims to develop their identity and potential. His poetry, written mainly in Urdu and Persian, continues to influence cultural and political perspectives in South Asia. Iqbal served as a key figure in advocating for the independence of Muslim regions from colonial rule.
