Glorious Allama Iqbal is the figure who has given Muslim Ummah how to think above than any ordinary
human. His literature and philosophies which are based on Islam are the gifts for Muslims around the

ways, and there is a big room which can be improved by thinking creatively.
In addition to philosophy, lack of children books in the Urdu language is also unavoidable. Our
generation is inclined towards foreign culture and languages, due to lack of storytelling and imagination
appreciation in our society.
