    Essay On Allama Iqbal – 300 Words


    Allama Iqbal was born on November 9, 1877, in Sialkot, in Punjab, British India. He received
    early education in Islamic studies from his father and a nearby mosque. In 1895, after his family
    moved to Lahore, he enrolled at the Government College University (Lahore) and subsequently
    obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree.

    He is widely regarded as one of the most influential Muslim philosophers and poets of the 20th
    century. Famously referred to as the “Poet of the East”, Iqbal is acclaimed as having inspired the
    Pakistan Movement, which led to Pakistan’s creation.

    His works include more than thirty books of poetry, including Rumuz-e-Bekhudi, Payam-i-
    Mashriq, and Bang-e-Dara, elegies such as Barrasi Kashmir, philosophical works such as The
    economics of the Indian (Hindustani) situation, and politics such as The Secrets of the Self. He
    also wrote short stories and four acts of poetic drama.

    October 11, 1930, is a historic day in the history of Muslim India. On this day, Allama
    Muhammad Iqbal first came out with his immortal Iqbal Lahore address at the Allahabad session
    of the Muslim League. The wording of the address was concise and straight to the point. And its
    purpose was to convince and convert many Indian Muslims to agree to become part of an
    independent state that would be free from British domination and Hindu Sovereignty.

    Iqbal died on Friday night, April 21, 1938. He had just turned 60 and was about to be nominated
    for the Nobel Prize. His was a turning point for Muslims of the subcontinent because, after his
    martyrdom, the situation changed. A new period started in the history of the Muslim political
    freedom struggle.

    Essay On Allama Iqbal – 500 Words


    Allama Iqbal is one of the most influential Muslim thinkers of the 20th century, and his poetry
    had a profound impact on Pakistan’s freedom movement. He was born in Sialkot on November
    9, 1877, to a Kashmiri family that migrated from Afghanistan during British rule. He was the
    seventh child in his family. His name was Allama (scholar). He grew up in a religious family and
    was very intelligent as a child. Allama Iqbal’s education began at home, under the supervision of
    his father.

    He is held in high regard in Pakistan and in India and among the Muslims of South Asia. His
    poetry has received international acclaim, while some have criticized him for being a political
    poet. The Sufi philosophy influenced his poetry.
    He is often credited as being the “spiritual father” of Pakistan. He has been called one of the
    most important figures in Urdu literature, with both his poetic work and philosophical writings
    influencing generations of people across the globe. In 1908, Iqbal graduated as valedictorian
    from Punjab University Law College (now known as Quaid-e-Azam University). Upon
    graduation, Allama became an assistant professor at Government College Lahore, where he
    taught English literature and history.

    He called for the independence of Pakistan and inspired the formation of the All-India Muslim
    League, which later led to Pakistan’s creation. A prolific poet, Iqbal wrote in Urdu, Persian,
    Arabic, and English. He has been dubbed as the “Poet of the East”, and the “Faiz of the West”.

    A lesser-known fact about the Father of Modern Urdu Poetry is that he was also a politician.
    Allama Iqbal, the man who wrote Pakistan’s national anthem, was a member of the Indian
    National Congress and served as Minister of Education in British India for five years. He later
    joined Muslim League and became one of its most prominent leaders.

    He is also considered one of the most important Urdu literature figures, with literary work in
    both the Urdu and Persian languages. Iqbal is best known for his poetic works, including Asrar-
    e-Khudi, Bang-i-Dara, Bal-i-Jibril, Zarb-i Kalim, and a part of the Armughan-e-Hijaz.

    Undoubtedly, he is one of the most revered and influential poets in South Asia. He is known for
    his poetic expression, which has been difficult to translate into English. His poetry was
    considered “revolutionary” because he called for a Muslim society that would be progressive and
    forward-thinking.

    Allama Iqbal’s concept of Pakistan was a central theme in his life. He believed that the British
    government had no right to rule over India and that a separate country should be formed for
    Indian Muslims.

    Sir Allama Iqbal died on April 21, 1938, in Lahore, Pakistan. He was buried in the vicinity of the
    Badshahi Mosque. More than 20 million people attended his funeral procession. His popularity
    was like a flood in the hearts of people. Iqbal was an ardent Indian Muslim and expressed the
    need for a Muslim homeland in South Asia, known as Pakistan.
