Iqbal Day — Honouring the Poet of the East

<p>On <strong>9 November</strong>, the nation pauses to honour <strong>Allama Dr. Muhammad Iqbal (1877&ndash;1938)</strong> &mdash; the Poet of the East (<em>Shair-e-Mashriq</em>), philosopher, and visionary whose words awakened a people and whose dream gave shape to Pakistan.</p> <p>Through his concept of <em>Khudi</em> (selfhood), Iqbal called on every individual to recognise their God-given potential, to rise with purpose, and to serve the collective good. His poetry in Urdu and Persian continues to inspire generation after generation toward knowledge, dignity, and unity.</p> <p>The <strong>Jutt Federation of Pakistan</strong> pays tribute to his enduring legacy. On this Iqbal Day, let us renew our commitment to education, self-reliance, and the service of our biradari and our country &mdash; the very values Iqbal held dear.</p> <p><strong>Iqbal Day Mubarak</strong> to all our members and their families across Pakistan and around the world.</p>
