Outcomes and Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iqbal\u2019s work is manifold in terms of its themes, outlook and relevance. It is full of timeless wisdom. The conference was a reflection of all of the above and much more. Since the main thrust of these conferences is to integrate Iqbal\u2019s teachings in our educational processes, this conference will focus on encouraging our educational institutions, both schools and higher education institutions to restructure the institutional environment and curricula in line with Iqbal\u2019s sagacious guidance and Qur\u2019anic wisdom. In this testing contemporary era, the need of the hour is to pay heed to the teachings of this great sage and create an environment in various centers of learning where the youth, \u2018Shaheen\u2019 as Iqbal called them, are groomed into highly spirited and accomplishing individuals. The conference served as a platform for sharing experiences of Iqbal\u2019s study and his personal life at different levels, from panel discussions by senior academicians and pragmatic workers in the field of education who are in some way affiliated with Allama Iqbal\u2019s philosophy. The main outcome of the conference was to influence youth by acquainting them with Iqbal\u2019s ideology through various means like speeches, panel discussions, paper presentation and presentation of Iqbal\u2019s poetry as Kalam and stage play.<\/p>\n

The conference would hopefully serve as a beacon of guide for all. Its proceedings will be compiled at length and will be made available for all. The conference highlighted several pertinent issues that needed to be analyzed and dissected. This conference was an effort by Bahria University to initiate an enlightening discourse with many more to follow. We are overwhelmed by the response of all the esteemed guests, knowledgeable speakers and enthusiastic students.<\/p>\n
