Famous quotes by Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal

Famous Quotes of Allama Iqbal • Art: If the object of poetry is, to make men, then poetry is the heir of prophecy. • Be not entangled in this world of days and nights; Thou hast another time and space as well. • Become dust - and they will throw thee in the air; Become stone – and they will throw thee on glass. • But only a brief moment is granted to the brave one breath or two, whose wage is the long nights of the grave. • Destiny is the prison and chain of the ignorant. Understand that destiny like the water of the Nile: Water before the faithful, blood before the unbeliever. • Ends and purposes, whether they exist as conscious or subconscious tendencies, form the wrap and woof of our conscious experience. • God is not a dead equation! • I am a hidden meaning made to defy.

The region's ancient history also includes some of the oldest empires from the  subcontinent [1]  and some of its major civilizations.

Quaid-e-azam Pakistan, one of the largest Muslim states in the world, is a living and exemplary monument of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. With his untiring efforts, indomitable will, and dauntless courage, he united the Indian Muslims under the banner of the Muslim League and carved out a homeland for them, despite stiff opposition from the Hindu Congress and the British Government. Father of the Nation Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah's achievement as the founder of  Pakistan , dominates everything else he did in his long and crowded public life spanning some  42 years .
