IMCG (PG) F-7/2 Islamabad organised a colourful event to pay tribute to the great Poet of the East, Sir Allama Muhammad Iqbal on his 146th birthday. Allama Iqbal's poetry served as a beacon for the muslims of the sub-continent to struggle for a separate homeland. The Student Council, the Department of Urdu and the students collaborated to put forward some of the best performances of this year on Iqbal's poetry. Speeches, tableaux and songs were presented, beseeching the youth to realise their potential to become the Shaheen and Momin of Iqbal's dream. The students also used the platform to highlight the plight of the fellow Palestinians in the war being waged against them by their oppressors. In her address the Principal of the college, Dr. Fauzia Tanveer Sheikh, congratulated the organisers and the participants on their efforts. She lamented the fact that today's Muslim doesn't make an effort to understand and follow the Holy Quran and Sunnah. Iqbal's poetry provides them with a chance to connect their religion and learn how to become a true Muslim. She recited many verses of Iqbal in her speech to counsel the students that faith, persistence, kindness and justice can make them world leaders.The event ended with the rendition of the National Anthem.
