1. Jinnah's achievement is unparalleled in recent history

2. The Quaid was greatly respected by the people of all faiths
Ans: due to his tolerance and acceptance of all faith and religions. He was very clear in his vision that he did not want non- Muslims in Pakistan to suffer as the Muslim minority suffered in India.
He knew that breaking nation into groups and circles based on cast or religion. So, he demanded a progressive, democratic and tolerant society that retained its Muslim character and give equal rights, equal opportunities, and equal respect to its non-Muslim citizens.
In the flag of Pakistan, white colour along with green show the world that this new state wholeheartedly considers non-Muslim as equal citizens of the state with their rights.

3. Quaid-e-Azam left the Indian National Congress.
Ans: because as an outstanding political leader, he very soon realized that the Indian National Congress was leading the Hindus of the sub-continent towards Hindu-Muslim polarization. This would result in political and economic victimization of the Muslims in the region. Therefore, he decided to leave the Congress and join the Muslim League.

4. Despite strong opposition by the British and the Hindus, Quaid-e-Azam succeeded in creating Pakistan.

Ans: because he was very intelligent and understood that Hindu as a majority did not give religion's rights to Muslims in sub-continent. They are two different nation, so he demanded separate homeland for Muslims and fought and struggled relentlessly to achieve his goal.

5. Allama lqbal could point out some of the defects in the philosophical systems of the West.
Ans: Allama Iqbal is well-versed in philosophy, both Eastern and Western. He pointed out some of the defects in the philosophical systems of the West. He also got a doctorate degree from Munich University for his work on Persian philosophy. After observing injustice behavior of India with Indian Muslims, he also put forward the philosophy of Pakistan and asked Quaid-e-Azam to make it a reality.

(Note: Allama Iqbal pointed out some of the defects in the philosophical system of the West, as:
Dr. lqbal said, "India is a continent of human groups belonging to different races, speaking different languages, and believing in different religions. Their behave is not governed by a common race feelings. The philosophy of western democracy could not be applied to India without recognizing the fact of different groups. The Muslim demand to create a Muslim India within India is in no way without justice. For my part I would like to go one step further; I would like to see the Punjab, North West Frontier Province, Sindh and Baluchistan unite under a single Muslim State". This demand shocked both the Hindus and the British alike and they both opposed it.)

6. Dr. lqbal did not seek re-election to the Punjab Legislative Council.
Ans: Allama lqbal took an active part in politics and worked for the cause of the Muslims of South Asia. He was elected as a member of the Punjab Legislative Council in 1926, a post he held till 1929. By then, he had become deeply involved with the Muslim League activities. Due to his commitment to the cause of Muslim rights in India, he was soon elected as the President of the Punjab branch of the All India Muslim League, a post he held till the time of his death.

7. One of lqbal's biggest political contributions is his Allahabad address.
Ans: which he delivered in 1930, when he presided over the Allahabad meeting of the All-India Muslim League. It was on this historic occasion that he made a definite demand for a separate Muslim State in South Asia.
Dr. lqbal said, "India is a continent of human groups belonging to different races, speaking different languages, and believing in different religions..... The Muslim demand to create a Muslim India within India is in no way without justice. For my part I would like to go one step further; I would like to see the Punjab, North West Frontier Province, Sindh and Baluchistan unite under a single Muslim State".

8. Allama lqbal wanted the Muslims to put their faith in Islam.
Ans: In his Allahabad address he said: "I have learned one lesson from the history of Muslims. At difficult moments in their history, it is Islam that has saved Muslims and not Muslims that have saved Islam. If, today, you put your faith in Islam, you will become strong and united once again and save yourself from complete destruction."

We should follow the guiding principle of Quaid e Azam to make Pakistan great.
It is now our responsibility to set the future directions for this great country by implementing the Quaid's vision of Pakistan.
If we truly want to pay homage to our great Quaid, we should try and do the things he wanted us to do and not merely praise what he did.
On every Independence Day, we should think of what we need to do to take Pakistan forward on the way to peace a prosperity.

Allama Iqbal

Academic achievements

Allama Muhammad lqbal, the poet of the East was, no doubt, a great poet and a philospher.
He began his professional career as a Professor of Arabic at the Oriental College, Lahore, after doing his M.A., in 1899.
In 1905, he went to London to study law and received a law degree. He thus became a barrister by profession.
This versatile person continued his quest for knowledge in various fields.
In 1908, he was awarded a Ph.D. degree by the Munich University, in Germany, for his work on Persian philosophy. That is why he is also known as Dr. Muhammad lqbal.

Dream about Pakistan

Allama Muhammad Iqbal is the spiritual and intellectual founder of Pakistan. He dream is an independent Muslim state Pakistan.
One of lqbal's biggest political contributions is his Allahabad address, which he delivered in 1930. It was on this historic occasion in which he expressed his dreams and demand for a separate Muslim State in South Asia.
In his presidential address, Dr. lqbal said:
"India is a continent of human groups belonging to different races, speaking different languages, and believing in different religions."
He further said:
"The Muslim demand to create a Muslim India within India is in no way without justice. For my part I would like to go one step further; I would like to see the Punjab, North West Frontier Province, Sindh and Baluchistan unite under a single Muslim State".
Iqbal's dream took such firm root that at meeting in Lahore, on March 23, 1940, the Muslim League passed a resolution demanding a separate state for the Muslims of India. This resolution is known as the Pakistan Resolution.
From this point onward, after his death all efforts were directed to achieved his dream, which was come true on August 14, 1947, the creation of independent Muslim country Pakistan.

Advice to Muslims

Allama lqbal had a great love for Islam; he always advised the Muslims to remain true to their faith, and to practice it in letter and spirit.
In his Allahabad address he said:
"I have learned one lesson from the history of Muslims. At difficult moments in their history, it is Islam that has saved Muslims and not Muslims that have saved Islam. If, today, you put your faith in Islam, you will become strong and united once again and save yourself from complete destruction."
