Favourite personality by clara

“Hard work spotlights the character of people”

This vast universe is constituted with several billion people. Some of them turn out to be great personalities and a source of inspiration for all others. One of them is Allama Iqbal who is my favourite personality and the national poet of Pakistan.

Allama Iqbal also known as “Shair-e-Mashriq”, “Mufakkir-e-Pakistan” and “Hakeem-ul-Ummat” was born on November 9, 1877 in Sialkot, Punjab, British India. He is admired as a prominent, classical and eminent poet and highly acclaimed as “Muslim Philosophical Thinker of Modern Times.”

Allama Iqbal’s father, Sheikh Noor Mohammad was a great mystic. Iqbal inherited deep love for religion from him. His school teacher, Syed Mir Hassan played an important role in shaping his personality and taught him Arabic, Islamiat, and Persian. After completing early education, he passed his M.A examination in philosophy from government college, Lahore. Few years later, he went to England for higher studies. He received PHD in philosophy from Germany and passed Bar-at-Law examination from London.

When he returned home, he practiced law in Lahore high court. He devoted most of his time to poetry, philosophy and religion. He wrote many great and beautiful poems which carry the message of Islam and tried to reawaken the Muslims.

He was the one to present the idea of Pakistan. Unfortunately he did not live to see his dream come true and this great personality died on April 21, 1939 at the age of 60. He was buried in Lahore, Punjab.

Problems of Karachi by clara

 “WE CAN'T SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME THINKING WE USED WHEN WE CREATED THEM”

As the population of Karachi is increasing day by day, it also give rise to certain problems of the city. These problems may include pollution, shortage of resources etc.

One of these problems is the shortage of electricity and water. Mostly, lack of these resources create many problems as these are one of the necessities of life and their unavailability disturbs the routine and create many obstructions in everyday life.

Another problem which tops the list is traffic. It creates a definite chaos and also causes noise pollution. People don’t follow traffic rules, thus, many accidents may occur which may lead to life loss.

The problems of Karachi include pollution also. There is improper dumping of garbage and litter. The sewage system is not proper. The dirty water is often spilling out of the ditches. All these things cause land and water pollution which may give rise to several epidemic diseases. Similarly noise of the horns of vehicles and the smoke emitting from them increase the air and noise pollution.

Apart from this, one significant problem lies in the field of education. The literacy rate of Karachi is not much good. No attention I being paid on it. Steps should be taken to improve the educational system for a bright future.

Similarly government should analyze these problems and find a permanent solution for them otherwise they’ll be uncontrollable.
