 IQBAL’s MASSAGE TO US

. Iqbal’s massage was a powerful source of inspiration when Pakistan came in

to existence in 1947, and its early years. Every morning Radio Pakistan would
broadcast Iqbal’s prayer for children which left a permanent imprint on their
minds. However, after some time, this prayer with which children began their
day, ceased to be broadcast and there are very few children Today who are
familiar with it.
