Engineer Inayat Ali expressed his views in this seminar.
Professor Dr. Inam-ur-Rahman, in his keynote address told that how should we train our young generation, intellectually and ideologically in the present era? In this regard, Allama Muhammad Iqbal's thoughts are very important and there is no doubt that the way to build this nation is only Iqbal's way. Apart from Iqbal's concern for building life, understanding the situation and moving ourselves forward as a civilization, there is no other way where we can get answers to our questions and find a comprehensible solution to the problems. It will not be an exaggeration to say that if we ignore Iqbal and move forward, it means that we are thinking culturally, politically and nationally one and a half to two hundred years behind today. If we step into the future with Iqbal's edicts behind us, we will be stepping into the future with great intellectual backwardness. Dr. Abdul Rauf Rafiqi said in his concluding remarks that Iqbal knew that the youth of any nation not only have the ability to accept any message, but they also do not compromise on spending their lives according to that message. Allama Muhammad Iqbal had complete faith in the youth. Iqbal never wanted our generation to imitate the West, rather he wanted us to make the lives of our ancestors our ideal. For the making of Pakistan a developed and advanced country, the youth must embed Thoughts of Iqal part of their lives.
At the end of the ceremony, Dr. Abdul Rauf Rafiqi presented the honorary shield to Dr. Inam-ur-Rahman.
