Mohammad Iqbal
Mohammad Iqbal was a prominent philosopher, poet, and politician in British India, born on November 9, 1877. He is best known for his Urdu and Persian poetry, which inspired the Pakistan Movement. Iqbal's work emphasized self-discovery and the importance of spiritual awakening, making him a key figure in the literary and political landscape of the time.
Iqbal is often referred to as the "Spiritual Father of Pakistan" due to his vision of a separate nation for Muslims in the Indian subcontinent. His famous poems, such as "Lab Pe Aati Hai Dua Ban Ke Tamanna Meri," reflect his deep philosophical insights and his desire for social and political reform. Iqbal passed away on April 21, 1938.
