ISLAMABAD “Uraan Pakistan” campaign is Allama Iqbal’s Vision for Pakistan’s development, prosperity, and unity
The current government is committed to improving the economy in the country and is paying full attention to this sector.
Under Vision 2025, Pakistan is ready to join the top 25 economies. Knowledge-based economy is the basis of Vision 2025. Pakistan has developed 60 percent of the Pakistani youth population.
We have to prepare students for scientific research and scientific innovation and scientific trends. In a changing world, it is the need of the hour to align education with new trends,
Allama Iqbal’s Vision of nationhood was the fundamental force that united Muslims to establish a separate state.
“Even today, by following Iqbal’s vision, we can lead Pakistan on the path of unity, development, and prosperity.
“His concern teaches us that for progress, we must adopt elements such as self-awareness, national unity, and ijtihad.” The “Uraan Pakistan” campaign has been inspired by the development vision of Allama Iqbal.
“This campaign invites the youth to use their talents and contribute to the development and progress of Pakistan by following the philosophy of self-reliance.
We have to align the educational curriculum with his message to enlighten our new generation with Iqbal’s teachings, so that they can play their role in building a modern, progressive and independent Pakistan.
To put Pakistan on the path of development, it is essential to understand and follow Allama Muhammad Iqbal’s development philosophy. Allama Iqbal’s poetry has a key role in the political awareness of Muslims, which there is no denying.
It was this passionate poetry of Allama Iqbal that ignited the spark of freedom among Muslims. The message of Allama Iqbal, which was present in his words, proved to be a beacon for the leaders of the Pakistan Movement and for Muslims, and his dream became a living reality before the world.
Allama Iqbal made his audience the youth, because the youth shape the destiny of the nation. Allama Iqbal used the metaphor of “eagle” for the Muslim youth and advised them to fly high.
The eagle that builds its nest in the rocks of the mountains and teaches contentment, self-control and self-restraint, Allama Iqbal says: You are an eagles, your job is to fly, there are other skies in front of you,
Allama Iqbal, while telling the youth the difference between falcons and crows, makes them feel that self-reliance and self-reliance are their real assets. A nation does not need a sword in whose youth self-control takes the form of steel. Those who find their own paths and build new worlds for themselves.
In this regard, Allama Iqbal says: Both fly in the same atmosphere, where the eagles fly and where the others fly.
This nation does not need a sword, whose youth are steel in their own right. Allama Iqbal says that while addressing the Muslim youth, they tell them that their destination is beyond the skies, flying to the highest heights should be their path.
The youth should always keep the flight of their thoughts higher and should set big goals and then put forth the effort to achieve them.
Allama Iqbal says: The destination of the Muslims is beyond the blue sky, the stars are the caravan whose path is the youth .
The youth of today are faced with various emotional, spiritual, social, economic and economic problems. In such difficult times, the thoughts and philosophy of Allama Iqbal can inspire a new spirit in these youth.
In such difficult times, the words of Iqbal can provide guidance to the youth. Allama Iqbal says, “There is no hope, despair is the decline of knowledge and mysticism; the hopeful is the believer, among the secretaries of God, Allama Iqbal does not despair of the youth even in difficult situations, but is seeking refuge in the civilization of others and instead of picking the pearls of knowledge of his predecessors, what is the happiness of others. His foresight makes him realize that the future belongs to this young man,
Allama Iqbal says! There is no hope, Iqbal, from his deserts; If you are a farmer, this soil is very fertile, Saqi; The lesson of truthfulness, of justice, of courage; The work of the Imamate of the world will be brought from you, When this same young man makes Allama Iqbal’s philosophy a flaming path, he gives him the good news of becoming a teacher of the time.
According to Allama Iqbal, the youth are the future riders, so the reins of the country and nation are in the hands of the youth. He wants the youth to understand their responsibilities in the process of nation building and the elders to trust their abilities and not hesitate or hesitate while assigning them new responsibilities, because with the changing times, man himself must also change and the most important factor in this process is the youth who have to bear the burden of society on their shoulders, Allama Iqbal says! The styles of the times have changed.
The new melody is the instrument; free the mind from slavery; Make the youth the master of the feet, Allama Iqbal then says: To fear the new constitution is to fly on the old style. This is the difficult destination in the life of nations. The love that Allama Iqbal has for the youth is not hidden from anyone.
He desires to see the youth active and energetic so that the hands in which he hands over the reins of the nation will have the qualities that are characteristic of developed nations.
Allama Iqbal also emphasizes their education and training and prostrates himself before God Almighty and prays for them with tears flowing from his eyes. Allama Iqbal says: Give the youth my sigh of delight; then give these children hair and feathers; O God, this is my desire; make my light widespread; give the youth a burning heart; give me love, my sight.
Allama Iqbal’s words contain complete guidance for today’s youth.
It is necessary that the youth of today benefit from the thoughts of this thinker and philosopher poet. He will surely find his destination in the heavens. Allama Iqbal’s words are as fresh as the first day and have the same attraction that attracts the youth.
Now it is our duty to take Iqbal’s words to the next level and transfer them to the minds of the youth, especially students, in such a way that they become a part of their character and mold them into the “eagle” people of faith that Allama Iqbal wanted the youth to see.
Allama Iqbal’s philosophy of self-reliance invites us to establish our identity as a self-reliant, independent, and economically stable nation.

There is a need to harmonize the educational curriculum from basic to higher levels to expose the new generation to Iqbal’s teachings.

Due to political instability and lack of continuity in development and policy, we lagged behind other countries. Iqbal’s concept of nationhood led to the establishment of Pakistan.
