My Favourite Personality / Hero / Poet
/Allama Iqbal
There are many
poets but I like Allama Iqbal very much. He was a great thinker and true
Muslim. He worked for the cause of Indian Muslims and roused them from deep
dream through his poetry. His poetry is the message of Islam.
He was born in
Sialkot on November
9, 1877. Here he got his early education. Then he went to Lahore. He did his
M.A from Government College Lahore. After that he went abroad. He did Ph.D.
from Germany and Bar-at-Law from London. He started law practice in Lahore but
was fed up soon.
He spent most of
his time in poetry. He wrote many poems. His poems carry the message of Islam.
It was he who gave the idea of Pakistan to the Indian
Muslims. He in fact, is a national hero.
Quaid-i-Azam respected him and honoured his opinions. He could not live long to see Pakistan and died in
1938. He was burried in Lahore near Badshahi Masjid.
