TEHRAN: Iran’s capital, Tehran, has paid a special tribute to renowned poet and philosopher Allama Muhammad Iqbal by displaying large portraits of him and decorative billboards featuring his Persian poetry along major city roads.
The information boards, installed by the Tehran Municipality, feature prominent photographs of Allama Iqbal alongside selected verses from his famous Persian poetry.
The initiative aims to introduce the Iranian public, particularly the younger generation, to Iqbal’s philosophy, his message of Khudi (selfhood), and his literary contributions.
The displays also highlight the shared literary and cultural heritage of Pakistan and Iran, reflecting the deep intellectual and cultural connections between the two countries.
The tribute has been described as a meaningful gesture of respect for Allama Iqbal and a reflection of the longstanding cultural ties between the two brotherly nations.
