Muhammad Iqbal (also known as Allama Iqbal) was a renowned philosopher, poet, and politician of the Indian subcontinent. He was born on November 9, 1877, in Sialkot, Punjab, which is now part of Pakistan.

He served as the president of the All India Muslim League in 1930 and delivered his famous Allahabad Address in 1930, which is considered a key milestone in the movement for a separate Muslim state.

Iqbal died on April 21, 1938, in Lahore, Punjab, which is now part of Pakistan. He is remembered as one of the most important figures in the intellectual and cultural history of the Indian subcontinent. After the creation of Pakistan in 1947, he was named the national poet there.
