Asrar-e-Khudi:
The Secrets of the Self; published in Persian, (1915) was the first philosophical
poetry book of Allama Iqbal, the great poet-philosopher of British India. This book deals mainly
with the individual, while his second book Rumuz-i-khudi discusses the interaction between
the individual and society. Asrar-i-Khudi (Secrets of the Self) was the first poetry book of Iqbal.
Considered by many to be Iqbal's best book of poetry, it is concerned with the philosophy
of religion. In a letter to the poet Ghulam Qadir Girami (d.1345/1927), Iqbal wrote that "the
ideas behind the verses had never been expressed before either in the East or in the West." R.A.
Nicholson, who translated the Asrar as The Secrets of the Self, says it caught the attention of
young Muslims as soon as it was printed. Iqbal wrote this in Persian because he felt the language
was well-suited for the expression of these ideas.
5. Pakistan Movement:
The Pakistan Movement was a political movement in the first half of the
20th century that aimed for the creation of Pakistan from the Muslim-majority areas of British
India. It was connected to the perceived need for self-determination for Muslims under British
rule at the time. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, a barrister and politician led this movement after
the Lahore Resolution was passed by All-India Muslim League on March 23rd, 1940 and Ashraf
Ali Thanwi as a religious scholar supported it.[1] Thanwi's disciples Shabbir Ahmad
Usmani and Zafar Ahmad Usmani were key players in religious support for the creation of
Pakistan.[2]
The Pakistan Movement started originally as the Aligarh Movement, and as a result, the British
Indian Muslims began to develop a secular political identity. [3] Soon thereafter, the All India
Muslim League was formed, which perhaps marked the beginning of the Pakistan Movement.
And Pakistan came in to being on 14.
