Today, we mark the birth anniversary of Allama Muhammad Iqbal, the poet-philosopher whose vision helped awaken the spirit of independence and self-determination among the Muslims of the Subcontinent. In his address at the All-India Muslim League session in 1930, he emphasised the importance of securing the rights of Muslims which laid the foundation for a sovereign nation.

Iqbal's legacy goes well beyond his literary works such as Asrar-e-Khudi, Rumuz-e-Bekhudi and Bang-e-Dara, which explore matters of identity, spirituality and freedom. His insistence on political representation for Muslims and on values rooted in Islam has left a lasting imprint on Pakistan's national identity.

As we pay tribute to this remarkable personality, we renew our commitment to his principles and to striving for a Pakistan that is prosperous, peaceful and united. Let us draw strength from his life and ideals as we work together to build a brighter tomorrow.

May Allama Iqbal's vision guide us in our shared endeavour for progress, and may his legacy continue to inspire generations.
