Archival Overview

Renowned philosopher, barrister, and poet (1877–1938), revered as 'Allama Iqbal' and 'The Poet of the East', whose visionary poetry in Persian and Urdu inspired selfhood (Khudi) and the Pakistan Movement.

Biographical Record

Iqbal studied philosophy at Government College Lahore, Trinity College Cambridge, and the University of Munich. His philosophical framework harmonized Islamic theology, Western philosophy, and spiritual vitalism into his signature doctrine of 'Khudi' (Selfhood)—urging active spiritual realization and self-determination.

Iqbal authored monumental poetic collections, including 'Asrar-e-Khudi' (Secrets of the Self), 'Bang-e-Dra' (The Call of the Marching Bell), and 'Javid Nama'. His 1930 presidential address to the All-India Muslim League in Allahabad articulated the foundational political vision for an independent state in northwestern South Asia.
