Every year on 9 November, I find myself pausing for a moment of reflection remembering Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal, the man whose poetry stirred hearts and whose ideas sparked a nation’s awakening. To me, Allama Iqbal Day isn’t just a date on the calendar; it’s a reminder of purpose, identity, and vision.
Born on November 9, 1877, and passing away on April 21, 1938, Iqbal’s life was brief compared to his legacy. His philosophy, poetry, and political foresight shaped the foundation of Pakistan’s spiritual and intellectual thought. As we step into Allama Iqbal Day 2025, it feels more important than ever to remember why this day still resonates with every Pakistani and with dreamers around the world.
So, here are 10 best posts (or moments of reflection) to honour Iqbal Day 2025, each inspired by his timeless message and the spirit of 9 November.
“Today, on Allama Iqbal Day, we celebrate the poet who taught us to dream beyond limits. His words still echo: ‘Khudi ko kar buland itna…’ May we all rise to the height of our potential just as he envisioned for us.”
