Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal
Sir Muhammad Iqbal’s cultural and political ambitions for British-ruled Indian Muslims inspired Pakistan. His 20th-century Urdu poetry is famous. Allama is his honorific.
Kashmiri Muslim Iqbal from Sialkot, Punjab, got his B.A. and M.A. at Government College Lahore. In 1899–1903, Lahore Oriental College hired him to teach Arabic. He wrote well then. Parinde ki Faryad, an early animal rights ballad, and Tarana-e-Hindi, a children’s patriotic hymn, were popular Urdu poems. He earned a second B.A. from Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1905 and a Ph.D. in philosophy from Munich University. He practiced law in Lahore in 1908 but wrote about politics, economics, history, philosophy, and religion. His poems Asrar-e-Khudi, Rumuz-e-Bekhudi, and Bang-e-Dara earned him knighthood. Iran identifies him as Iqbāl-e Lāhorī (Iqbal of Lahore) for his Persian works.
