Iqbal Day is observed on November 9 each year in Pakistan to honor the birth of Allama Muhammad Iqbal, a prominent philosopher, poet, and politician. He is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in Urdu literature and is celebrated for his contributions to the idea of a separate nation for Muslims in the Indian subcontinent. The day is marked by various events, including seminars, poetry readings, and discussions about Iqbal's work and philosophy. Schools and institutions often hold special programs to educate students about his vision for Pakistan and his role in inspiring the movement for independence.
