Jammu and Kashmir people’s league Chairman Mukhtar Ahmad Waza today paid glowing tributes to Dr Allama Muhammad Iqbal, the sage, poet and philosopher on his 67th death anniversary.
In a press statement today, Waza said that Allama Muhammad Iqbal, the sage, poet and philosopher who not only gave the courage to the people to hold free inquiry to understand the true message of religion instead of blindly following the dogmas but was also an important advocate for peaceful resolution of Kashmir issue.
“Apart from being fearless advocate of suppressed Kashmiris, Allama was the voice of Muslim Ummah. The poet was the first to raise voice in favor of oppressed Kashmiri and played a critical role in forming the Kashmir committee, besides being the first to inspire the idea of Pakistan,” he said.
Waza said Allama promoted ideas of greater Islamic political co-operation and unity and called for shedding the nationalist differences among Muslims. He said his poetry on Khudi or self emphasizes the spirit and self from a religious, spiritual perspective. “The best tribute to Iqbal would be to emulate his poetry and philosophy and raise their voice against slavery and tyranny. Every Kashmiri should build a character as shown by Iqbal and continue to fight peacefully for the right to self determination and break the shackles of slavery for once and all,” he added.
“Iqbal Shab was a multidimensional person who at the same time was a teacher, lawyer, politician, statesman, author, poet, philosopher, and thinker who wrote great poetry in Urdu and Persian and essays and books in English.” Waza said.
