ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs, Gilgit-Baltistan and SAFRON Engineer Amir Muqam on Monday said the philosophy and teachings of Allama Dr Muhammad Iqbal continued to serve as a guiding light for Pakistan’s bright, sovereign and stable future.
In his message on the occasion of Iqbal Day, the minister said that the revolutionary ideas of the Poet of the East had awakened a spirit of selfhood, self-confidence, freedom of thought and struggle among the Muslims of the Subcontinent, while giving them a distinct national identity and a clear vision of their destination.
He said that Iqbal’s philosophy of ‘Khudi’ (selfhood) was not merely a theory but a comprehensive way of life, encouraging individuals to recognize their potential, face challenges and pursue their goals through hard work and determination.
Amir Muqam said that Iqbal’s message was particularly relevant to the youth, who had a vital role in shaping the future of the nation through their abilities, knowledge and character.
He emphasized that incorporating Iqbal’s ideals into every sphere of national life was essential for building a strong, sovereign, prosperous and progressive Pakistan. The minister said Iqbal Day provided an opportunity to renew the commitment to collectively and individually contribute towards realizing the vision of the Poet of the East. –Agencies
