Tomb of Alama Muhammad Iqbal Lahore علامہ محمد اقبال کی قبر

The Tomb of Allama Muhammad Iqbal is a simple but
impressive structure located in Lahore, Pakistan in the
Hazuri Bagh lawn between the Badshahi Mosque and
the Lahore Fort where both the grand structures (the
Mosque and the Fort) face each other. Official guard is
maintained by Pakistan Rangers. The architecture reflects
a combination of Afghan and Moorish styles and is entirely
constructed of red sandstone. Thousands of visitors come
to the mausoleum every day to pay their respects to the poet-
philosopher. He was one of the major inspirations behind the
Pakistan Movement, and is revered in Pakistan as Muffakir-e-
Pakistan (The Thinker of Pakistan) or Shair-e-Mashriq (The
Poet of the East). Iqbal died on April 21, 1938 in Lahore at
the age of 60. Since the independence of Pakistan, an
academy named after him (Iqbal Academy) has been
established to promote and disseminate his poetical
and philosophical messages and teachings.
