Essay on My School in Urdu | میرے اسکول پر مضمون

آج ہم اُردو میں میرے اسکول پر مضمون فراہم کرنے جا رہے ہیں۔ یہ مضمون یاد رکھنے میں بھی آسان ہے۔ اس مضمون کو آسان اور سادہ الفاظ میں لکھا گیا ہے لہذا کوئی بھی طالب علم اس موضوع پر لکھ سکتا ہے۔

میرے اسکول پر مضمون

تعلیم ہماری زندگی کا ایک اہم اور لازمی حصہ ہے۔ ہم علم کے بغیر کچھ بھی نہیں ہیں، اور تعلیم ہی ہمیں دوسروں سے الگ کرتی ہے۔ تعلیم حاصل کرنے کا اہم مرحلہ اپنے آپ کو اسکول میں داخل کرنا ہے۔ اسکول ہر انسان کے لیے علم حاصل کرنے سیکھنے کی پہلی سیڑھی ہے۔

میرا اسکول میرا دوسرا گھر ہے جہاں میں اپنا زیادہ تر وقت گزارتا ہوں اور یہ مجھے زندگی میں بہتر کام کرنے کی ترغیب دیتا ہے۔ اس کے علاوہ، میرے اسکول میں بہت ساری اور بھی خوبیاں ہیں جس کی وجہ سے مجھے اس پر فخر ہے۔

میرے اسکول کی خاصیت

میرا اسکول جدید تعلیم اوراعلی معیار کی فن تعمیر کے درمیان کامل توازن رکھتا ہے۔ میرے اسکول کی عمارت اپنی شاندار خوبصورتی سے مجھے حیران کرنے میں کبھی ناکام نہیں ہوتی۔

میں اپنے اسکول کو تعلیم کےمرکز کے طور پر دیکھتا ہوں جو ہمیں علم کے ساتھ ساتھ اخلاقی طرزعمل سے بھی نوازتا ہے۔ دوسرے اسکولوں کے برعکس، میرا اسکول صرف تعلیمی کارکردگی پر توجہ نہیں دیتا ہے بلکہ ہمارے اسکول کے تمام طلباء کی مجموعی ترقی پر بھی زور دیتا ہے۔

تعلیم کے ساتھ ساتھ، ہمارے اسکول میں غیر نصابی سرگرمیاں بھی منعقد کی جاتی ہیں۔ میرے اسکول میں کتب خانہ (Library)، کمپیوٹرلیب (Computer Lab) اور کھیل کے میدان جیسی تمام سہولیات موجود ہیں، تاکہ یہ یقینی بنایا جا سکے کہ ہم تعلیم کے ساتھ ساتھ دیگرسرگرمیوں میں بھی حصہ لیں۔

میرے اسکول نے مجھے کیا سکھایا ہے؟

اگر کوئی مجھ سے پوچھے کہ میں نے اپنے اسکول سے کیا سیکھا ہے، تو میں ایک جملے میں اس کا جواب نہیں دے پاؤں گا۔ مجھے بے شمار علم میرے اسکول کی بدولت ملا ہے اوراس چیز کے لئے میں اپنے اساتذہ کی خدمات کو نظر انداز نہیں کر سکتا، کیونکہ انہوں نے مجھے ایک اچھا انسان بنانے میں بہت اہم کردار ادا کیا ہے۔

میرے اسکول نے مجھے سکھایا کہ کس طرح ہمت کے ساتھ ناکامیوں کا سامنا کرنا ہے اور اپنے عزائم سے کبھی دستبردار نہیں ہونا، چاہے حالات کیسے بھی ہوں۔

نتیجہ (Conclusion)

اس کا خلاصہ یہ ہے کہ ایک معزز اسکول میں تعلیم حاصل کرنے سے مجھے ذاتی طور پر بہت مدد ملی ہے۔ میں اپنی شخصیت کی تشکیل اور مجھے انمول سبق سکھانے کے لیے ہمیشہ اپنے اسکول کا مقروض رہوں گا۔ اس نے مجھے زندگی بھر کے دوست اور اساتذہ دیے ہیں جو میری زندگی کا بہت قیمتی اثاثہ ہیں۔

Allama Iqbal Essay In Urdu | علامہ اقبال پر ایک مضمون

Today, we write Allama Iqbal essay in Urdu.Allama Muhammad Iqbal was a philosopher, mystic, poet, and politician in British India who inspired the Pakistan Movement. He is considered one of the most influential figures in Urdu literature. He is one of my favorite poet personality.

Some people may think that Allama Iqbal was strictly a religious poet, but that is not. He was, in fact, a philosopher and thinker who used poetry as a medium to get his message across. In this essay on Allama Iqbal in Urdu, we explore some of his most famous quotes and see how they relate to life and religion.

He is one of the most famous and influential poets and philosophers of Urdu. His poetry has been translated into many languages all over the world. He is considered one of the most significant literary figures in south Asia. According to a variant account, Iqbal was born in Sialkot on 9 November 1877 in Allahabad in 1876.

He received his early education in Sialkot, and then he went to Lahore for higher studies. In his honor, a poetry festival is held every November, having seminars, speeches, and mushairas of national and international poets. Iqbal was well versed in Arabic, Urdu, and Persian languages.

He has composed several poems and is also known as shair e mashriq (poet of the east). His famous works include “Asrar-e-Khudi”, “rumuz-e-bekhudi”, “Payam-e-Mashriq”, “Zabur-e-Ajam”, “Bal-e-Jibreel”, “Pas Che Bayad Kard Ay Aqwam-e–Sharq

Allama Iqbal was a philosopher, poet, and politician in British India who is widely regarded as having inspired the Pakistan Movement. He is considered one of the most important figures in Urdu literature, with literary work in both the Urdu and Persian languages. Iqbal is known for his poems, which are written primarily in Persian, that discuss themes of spiritual awakening, the nature of God, and the role of Muslims in the world. He is also known for his political activism, particularly his support for the creation of a separate Muslim state in the northwest of British India. Iqbal was born in Sialkot, in the Punjab region of British India, in 1877, and studied at some of the most prestigious universities in British India and Europe. He was a member of the All India Muslim League, and his ideas and writings continue to influence political and religious thought in South Asia and beyond.

Allama Iqbal was never formally titled “Sir”. The title “Sir” is typically used as a honorific for knights in the British honours system, or for other individuals who have been knighted by the British monarch. As far as I know, Iqbal was never knighted and therefore never held the title of “Sir”. Iqbal was a philosopher, poet, and politician in British India, and he was known for his political activism and his poetry, but he was not a knight and did not hold the title of “Sir”.

It is not clear how many sisters Allama Iqbal had. Iqbal was born into a family of nine siblings, but the exact number and genders of his siblings is not known. Some sources indicate that Iqbal had four brothers and four sisters, while others suggest that he had three brothers and five sisters. Without more specific information, it is difficult to say for certain how many sisters Iqbal had.

Allama Iqbal was born in Sialkot, in the Punjab region of British India, in 1877. Sialkot is a city in the northeast of modern-day Pakistan, near the border with India. Iqbal’s family was part of the Kāshmirī Pundit community, a Hindu minority group that had converted to Islam several generations before Iqbal’s birth. Iqbal grew up in Sialkot and studied at some of the city’s most prestigious schools, before going on to study at universities in Lahore, Cambridge, and Munich. He returned to Sialkot after completing his studies and spent much of his life there, before moving to Lahore in the 1930s.

It is not clear on which day Allama Iqbal was born. Iqbal was born in 1877 in Sialkot, in the Punjab region of British India. While the exact date of his birth is not known, it is generally accepted that he was born in November of that year. Some sources indicate that he was born on November 9, while others suggest that he was born on November 11. Without more specific information, it is difficult to say for certain on which day Iqbal was born.

It is not clear whether Allama Iqbal drank alcohol or not. There is no mention of alcohol consumption in his biographies or personal writings, and it is not considered to be a part of his personal or religious beliefs. Iqbal was a devout Muslim, and as such, he would have been expected to follow the Islamic prohibition on the consumption of alcohol. However, without concrete evidence one way or the other, it is difficult to say for certain whether he drank alcohol or not.

If you are interested in learning more about the Urdu poetry of Allama Iqbal, there are several resources that you can use. One option is to look for books or articles that provide analysis and explanation of Iqbal’s poetry. You may be able to find these at a local library or bookstore, or you can search for them online. Another option is to look for websites or forums where people discuss and interpret Iqbal’s poetry. These can be a good source of information and can provide insight into the meaning and significance of his work. You may also be able to find recordings or videos of Iqbal’s poetry being recited, which can provide a deeper understanding of his work.

Allama Iqbal is revered in Pakistan as its national poet. So many schools, public institutions and even a province are named after him. But the information about his life is scarce. Few people are aware that allama iqbal was born in 1877 at Sialkot, in a house on a hill overlooking the city. The house is now a school called ‘Allama Iqbal Academy’ but the house holds very few memories of the poet.

Why did you choose Cornell?

I came in to Cornell as a biological engineering major; however, the access to resources at this school that facilitate critical interrogation of systems of power  encouraged me to pivot toward a humanities major, with minors in migration studies, music and law and society. Unfortunately, such resources, e.g. extensive libraries and institutional logins on journal databases, are not democratically accessible to my peer scholars in the Global South, so being here at Cornell I strive to make the most out of studying with and against these knowledge systems to be in a better position to give back to my Global South communities.

What is your main extracurricular activity and why is it important to you? 

In Spring 2023, I founded the Mulmul Collective, a collective and magazine that centers literature, art and culture from areas impacted by colonialism, imperialism and cultural erasure. Since migrating to the U.S., I have desired to stay in tune with the knowledge systems stored in my mother tongues of Siraiki, Punjabi and Urdu, while English remains the functional language. Learning Farsi at Cornell too helped me connect with the pre-colonial cultures of South Asia when Farsi was commonly spoken before the British ban on the language. Thus, driven by the notion of language as culture being the collective memory bank of a people’s experience in history (Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o), my peers and I at Mulmul strive to help students tend to their cultural roots and connect with shared histories through the celebration of multilingual, multimedia art and culture. We hold regular film screenings, poetry recitations and community meals, for example, an all-femme Iftar (breaking of fast in Ramadan).

What Cornell memory do you treasure the most?   

To have shared a space and conversation with Kimberle Crenshaw was my most memorable 15 minutes at Cornell so far. Along with my coworker, I interviewed Crenshaw for the Gender Equity Resource Center, where I have been the programming coordinator and digital communications coordinator since fall 2023. As a humanist and aspiring lawyer, I am forever inspired by Crenshaw’s carrying of both humanities and legal hats, and her commitment to materializing invisible oppressive structures through language. Talking to her about that, and her experience at Cornell, was equal parts fangirling and heart-opening for me.     

What have you accomplished as a Cornell student that you are most proud of?

I am proud to have continued the cultivation of The Lodge — an off-campus, independent, tenant-owned house — as a collective for low-income queer and trans people of color as its co-president in 2024. Helping the Lodge transition into a community space post-Covid, whether that is through renting out our basement to mission-aligned organizations for events, or inviting guest speakers like Bella Sin and Dr. Lady J to Cornell, or offering it as a space for an all-femme Iftar, has been my contribution to its aspiring non-profit status. At Cornell, my independent research with Prof. Jane Juffer to generate content for the Batavia anti-detention teach-in I helped organize, as well as my appointment as an undergraduate migrations scholar through the Einaudi Center, felt like a culmination of my interdisciplinary migration studies at Cornell, helping me bring elements of the classroom to an activism space and vice versa.

Who or what influenced your Cornell education the most?     

In one of my first-year classes, Prof. Parisa Vaziri introduced us to Sylvia Wynter’s essay, "Unsettling the Coloniality of Being/Power/Truth/Freedom." This essay was divinely timed for my reading as a “marginalized scholar” at Cornell, helping me realize that critical to academia itself is the criticism of knowledge systems. In the same vein, my own experiences as a migrant and scholar, as well as queer woman, from a formerly colonized, Global South country has been influential to my purpose and priority at Cornell, a reminder that education is for the empowerment and articulation of the self, an oeuvre that ultimately must lead to the same for others.
