Speaking on the occasion, the chief guest of the function, Prof. Dr. Najeeb Jamal said that if you can speak your language properly, you can speak any language of the world. He said that Iqbal's thought created impact wherever it went in the world. "Javed Namah" a poem by Allama Iqbal which mentions the journey to the heavens, there are many universal poems on this subject in the world. Among them are Dante's Divine Comedy and Milton's Paradise Lost. But Iqbal is different in the way that he does not show any prejudice. He praises everyone above these things. This is the perfection of a great poet. Iqbal is a poet of human thought, human relations, society, politics, science, philosophy and in the true sense of neo-history. Iqbal's poetry is our identity as a nation and there is no other example like Iqbal.
Director Iqbal Academy Prof. Dr. Baseera Ambreen said that the Academy is working on making new generation understand Iqbal in a better way. She said that Shaheen's metaphor should be popularized among the younger generation to create interest in Iqbal. Children and young people are a constant part of our plans. He said that Shaheen is not just a poetic metaphor but has all the characteristics of divinity and Iqbal advises the youth keeping these qualities of Shaheen in mind. She said that when you keep your goals high, you become successful.
Speaking on the occasion, Ms. Nureed Fatima, the judge of the competition said that while compiling the results of these competitions, it has come to light that children need to be helped to choose Kalam Iqbal. He said that our national language is Urdu but it seems that we are moving away from the correct pronunciation of Urdu. There is a need to popularize Iqbal's teachings as well as correct the pronunciation of the new generation with the help of Iqbal's words. The children present on the occasion recited Kalam e Iqbal with pronunciation. Zafar Abbas Jafari recited Kalam Iqbal Taranum.
