Today is a day, close to every Pakistani’s heart. On this very day, Allama Iqbal, a revivalist, a dreamer, an ideologist, an illusionist, a political philosopher, a poet was born. With his thoughtful vision, he put forth the idea of a separate nation for Muslims. Those Muslims, who, in that era, surrendered to the worst of situations. In other words, Allama Iqbal is also known as the ‘Spiritual Leader of Pakistan’.
He tried to inculcate the qualities of Momi’noon in the Muslims through his poetry. Iqbal was an authoritative person who divined the future. Here are some of his Ashaar which are perfectly related to the current scenario of the Muslims and the youth that how have we failed to become the Shaheen of Iqbal, the Momin he wanted us to become in order to conquer the world!

Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal has left some gems for us only if we ponder upon it. Muslims can reach the height of glory in this world only if we have Faith in God and Faith in ourselves. Disappointment is the key to devastation. Even Iqbal has his hopes high.

خدا بندے سے خود پوچھے بتا تیری رضا کیا ہے
