2. Biographical Sketch of Allama Iqbal
Iqbal was a great poet and thinker who lived in the time of the British Raj. He was born in 1877 in Sialkot, Punjab. Iqbal's father was a Muslim merchant who lived in Lahore and his mother was a Hindu. He had three brothers and two sisters. His mother died when he was five years old and his father remarried to a Hindu woman. When Iqbal was nine years old, his father died of tuberculosis, leaving him to be raised by an uncle. It is believed that Iqbal's uncle took him to the mosque for prayers every Friday at eight o'clock in the morning; this ritual is also known as wazee, because it was performed every Friday at eight o'clock for about ten minutes for worshiping Allah (Allah-o-Akbar). During this prayer, after salaam to our Lord, he recited short verses from Quran and recited them along with other worshippers sitting behind him. His uncle also taught him how to recite Surat-i-Imran (the first chapter of the Quran). Iqbal began studying Urdu grammar while he was still living with his uncle at his house. Later on, he also studied philosophy under Syed Ahmad Khan and Islamic theology under Mullah Nasruddin Barani during 1931-1932 at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU).
Iqbal received many accolades during his life: The Governor General of British India conferred on him the title of Shaheed (martyr) by partitioning India into Pakistan and India; The King George V bestowed upon him the third highest Indian Order in 1942; The President of Pakistan conferred upon him the title of Shaheed for being 'a shining light' for Pakistan's independence; The Government of India made Iqbal's poetry as one of its most popular literature from 1951 till 1955; The Government of Pakistan bestowed upon him its highest civilian award – Laskar-i-Ishraf (Sword of Islam) in 1953; In 1958, The Government of India conferred upon Iqbal its highest civilian award – Padma Bhushan Award– for having laid a great foundation for any future generation towards unity and progress through world promotion of Indian Muslims through his poetry and achievements as an Urdu poet ...
3. The Poet of the East
Allama Iqbal was one of the most influential poets of the 20th century, as well as a prominent political leader. His poetry is powerful and compassionate. It shows his concern for the oppressed and his rage against injustice. He is a great poet who has left a legacy that will never be forgotten.
A word on the translation: Allama is an Urdu term which means “master” or “lord” and Iqbal means “Iqbal”. This was an honourable way of addressing a Muslim ruler, in contrast to other Muslim rulers, who were called “Shaykhs” (the word in English often translated as “ruler”).
Allama Iqbal was born into a Muslim family and wanted to follow in their footsteps but he was not able to do so because he did not have any education or connections. As such, he got married young at 16, with no thought for the future because he had no idea how long his marriage would last. He had no children from this union so it is safe to say that Allama Iqbal would have grown up into someone else if it wasn't for one thing: He had an older sister named Auza who was an accomplished writer and poet herself! She would have been Allama's literary executor or literary guardian in case of death but unfortunately she got married first and her husband died early on leaving her with very little money to care for her younger sister at home.
Being the eldest child, Auza realised that she could be more useful to someone else by becoming a writer than by taking care of another human being herself! So she encouraged Allama Iqbal to pursue writing (not publishing books) since they both had something worth saying! She took him to meet such great poets as Abdus Salam, Javed Burki and Maulana Muhammad Ali Sabri Khan among others before she passed away when he was only 18 years old!
So after discovering that he could become an amazing poet when given encouragement by his elder sister who truly believed in him, all this time Allama Iqbal dedicated his life to protecting women's rights and fighting against injustice everywhere!
His poetry has been praised by many famous poets including Rumi whose poem "Ki Gilo" is based on "Talee Tumhare", "Talee Tumhare" being a famous poem written by Rumi himself!

5. The Philosophy of Allama Iqbal
Iqbal, or Allama Muhammad Iqbal is the most famous poet of Pakistan. He is a great poet, who has written a lot of poetry in Urdu. His poems are highly romantic and are full of philosophy, which makes him one of the prominent figure in Urdu language.
Many people have been influenced by him because he has been a very famous writer and poet. He was born on the 9th of November 1877 and was from Sialkot in the Punjab region.
His father was a judge in Lahore. Muhammad Iqbal’s mother died when he was young, so his father brought him up by himself and sent him to the village school at Nankana Sahib for further education. He was taught English by an English teacher there and qualified for his BA degree from Punjab University (which later became Pakistan University) thanks to that teacher.
Iqbal then went on to study law, but it was not his choice to pursue law as a career path; rather he chose to follow his desire towards writing poetry instead, as he said “I cannot be happy without poetry” (see here).
He worked as an editor at the Amrita School Press before becoming its chief editor when it closed down in 1908; it later reopened under his editorship later that year. During this period he also wrote some short stories which were published anonymously in the magazine Asad-i-Ammar (Four Leaves).
In 1909 he joined Khilafat Movement (which aimed at creating an independent Muslim state for Muslims) where he worked until 1911 when he left for India and became its founder member. In 1913 Iqbal along with Ghulam Haider Sindhia created an independent Muslim political party called All India Muslim League hoping to unite all Muslims against British rule after its withdrawal from India (see here).
But within months of its creation All India Muslim League split into two factions – one led by Iqbal which was known as Millat-i-Ilahi and the other led by Ghulam Haider Sindhia which remained independent from other groups like Millat-i-Islami (see here). In 1914 Iqbal along with Ghulam Haider Sindhia were exiled from India due to British policies that put pressure on them because they wanted them to join hands with other parties like Congress Party; they remained active only as independent political parties till Independence in 1947 when
