Today, November 9th, we commemorate the birth of the great poet-philosopher, Allama Muhammad Iqbal. His profound thoughts and powerful poetry continue to illuminate our paths and inspire generations.
Iqbal's main message wasn't just about beautiful verses; it was a powerful call to self-discovery and action!
At the core of his philosophy is the concept of Khudi (The Self). He urged individuals to:
Realize your potential: Don't just exist; strive to become the best version of yourself, recognizing the unique power and dignity you hold within.
Embrace continuous effort: True life lies in constant striving, struggle, and movement (Harkat). Stagnation is death.
Develop a strong character: Through discipline and effort, build a self that is capable of conquering challenges and shaping a better world.
Iqbal believed that an awakened and strong Khudi is the foundation for a vibrant and progressive society. His message remains incredibly relevant: Know yourself, strengthen yourself, and change the world.
Let's honor his legacy by reflecting on our own inner strength and committing to the journey of self-improvement and positive contribution.
