Important Essays
My Last Day at School
The first and last days at school are of unique significance for students. While the first day at
school may cause anxiety, fear and nervousness. The last day is surely a day of hope, confidence and
preparedness.
My last day at school is still fresh in my memory. I felt very relaxed because there was no
teaching work that day. My heavy satchel was off my back at last. It was a big relief. I took the bus
quite leisurely and got off at the school bus stop. I made my way through small groups of school
fellows, talking noisily and a good many embracing with one another. Our juniors of ninth class
hosted a farewell party and entertained us to a variety of sweet, meat and tea.
Our worthy headmaster and kind teachers also participated. Formal farewell speeches were
made on the occasion. A boy sang a ghazal and delighted the audience with his melodious voice.
Finally the headmaster addressed the gathering and advised the students to work with devotion and
be well-mannered to succeed and prosper in life. Before dispersing we thanked our juniors for their
nice farewell.
Sports and Games
Sports and games play an important role in the development of human personality. They are
no less important than food and fresh water. The developed countries like England, Germany,
France, and U.S.A have made games an essential part of education at the school level. It is
interesting to note that there are many nurseries and training centers for games in these countries.
They admit boys and girls for necessary training to become future athletes, gymnasts and sportsmen.
No doubt, games and sports are becoming popular in Pakistani schools as well. The facilities, of
course, are not adequate at present. The situation is expected to improve in the near future.
The Pakistani school boys and school girls know fully well the meaning of the proverb "All
work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". They know that their growing bodies need regular physical
exercise to keep themselves healthy and fit.
General sports include hunting, fishing, riding, cycling. Mountaineering (mountain climbing)
is becoming favourite, sport of Pakistani school boys in summer time among the mountain of
Murree, Nathiagalli, Swat, Chitral, Kaghan and the Karakoram Highway.
A number of school clubs and societies hold athletic contests. These contests include
walking, jogging, jumping, swimming, rowing, wrestling, boxing, hammer/ disc- throwing,
lightweight lifting and gymnastics. An athlete is trained to be perfectly fit to engage in such contests.
A True-Muslim
To be a Muslim is a great blessing of Allah. It is indeed His mercy to make us believe in
Allah and His Prophets (A.S) the final one being the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him).
The hallmark of a true Muslim is the magnanimity of heart.
A true Muslim believes that Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. He remains
conscious that Allah knows all the facts-even the innermost secrets of hearts. He believes that man
can grasp only that part of His knowledge which Allah wills. He spends good, worthy things in the
name of Allah. He knows that if he gives alms to the poor secretly, it will be, hopefully enough,
atonement for some of his sins.
A good Muslim is ever eager to seek knowledge. He is clean, brave and pure. He does his
duty well. He tries to attain excellence in every field of life. He/she offers prayers punctually five
times a day. A true Muslim believes that good deeds endure rich rewards in the world hereafter. It is
indeed a great privilege to be a Muslim.
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
The bright star in the history of Pakistan is Muhammad Ali Jinnah. It was the will of Allah
that the physically weakling son of Poonjah Jinnah would one day be the founder of Pakistan. He
was born in Karachi on December 25, 1876.
 After his matriculation, he was sent to England for higher studies. He
distinguished himself over there as a keen and upright student. He qualified from the Lincoln's Inn as
a brilliant Barrister. On his return to India, he joined the Indian National Congress. He was an ardent
supporter of the Hindu-Muslim unity. But the narrow vision of certain communal leaders
disappointed him. He decided to join the Muslim League.
He inspired the Muslims of India with his glorious vision. He worked hard for a separate
homeland for the Muslims. The 'odds were against him. The Hindus, The British and section of the
Muslims were hostile to him. But he grappled with every problem. His aim was high. He soared like
an eagle. He organized the Party. The Muslims rallied round him; the hostile forces had to be at a
retreat.
August 14, 1947 was the day of his triumph. Pakistan emerged on the map of the world. He
took oath of office as the first Governor General of the new country.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah was the Quaid-e-Azam in the true sense of the word. His health had
been breaking down under a heavy pressure of work. He died in Karachi on September 11, 1948. But
founders and heroes like him never die. Do they?
My Favorite Book
A room without the Holy Quran, is like a body without a soul. I have read many books but I will
mention only that one which really impressed me. It is the Holy Quran revealed on the Holy Prophet
(PBUH).
Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W) received the Holy Quran from Allah Almighty through Jibraeel
Ameen (A.S). It was revealed in Arabic, in the Holy month of Ramazan.
On reading the Holy Quran one is at once convinced that it is the Word of Allah, for no one can write
such perfect guidance on so many subjects. The Holy Quran is the last and final book of guidance for
the whole mankind. I recite it daily for guidance While I recite it, it seems to me as I am talking to
Allah, the Almighty. All the branches of Humanities and Sciences spring from the Holy Quran. It
teaches us to believe in Oneness of Allah and that Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W) is the, last Prophet of
Allah. It also teaches us how to live in this world. For easy daily recitation the Holy Quran is divided
into 30 equal parts called "Paras", contains "Manzils", 114 "Surahs" and 540" Rukus". It invite the
whole mankind to ponder over it.
My Ambition
Man is an ambitious animal. It's the outcome of human ambitions that today we are living in modern
world not in stone-age. Different people have different ambitions. Some want to become
businessmen, others doctors, engineers, journalists, architects etc. I want to become a teacher. I know
how hard a teacher's life is but I am prepared for that. No doubt, it is not a profitable job from
financial point of view. But I shall keep my expenses within reasonable limits. Nobody is ready to
come in this profession. Those who come in this noble profession use it as a stepping stone to some
other profitable job and leave it very early. That is why, the standard of education is falling rapidly in
Pakistan. It pains me a lot, therefore I have decided to become a teacher. I shall perform my duty
with missionary zeal in the best interest of my country. I shall produce such students in Pakistan who
will be the harbingers of light, knowledge and prosperity in Pakistan.
Libraries
Libraries are an essential part of the educational and cultural landscape of any community.
They provide access to knowledge and information, promote literacy and a love of learning, and
serve as a hub of social activity. As the late Maya Angelou once said that they offer equal access of
information. As Neil Gaiman the renowned author, stated, “Libraries are our friends, our teachers,
and our illuminations.
Libraries are open to everyone, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. They
offer an array of resources from books and magazines to online databases and multimedia material.
Moreover, libraries plays a critical role in promoting literacy and a love of reading. Libraries
encourage lifelong learning and help people to acquire new skills and knowledge. They also offer a
comfortable and quiet space where people can study, work, or relax in a peaceful environment.
 As Robin Solan, a famous said, “I believe that libraries make communities
stronger.”
Libraries host a variety of events, book clubs, workshops, fostering, and a sense of
community and bring people together. They are cultural centre where people can share ideas and
connect with others who share their interests. Therefore, it is crucial to support and invest in libraries
to enable them to continue to serve and enrich our communities.
Our National Poet
Allama Iqbal, our national poet, was a scholar, philosopher and a poet who is widely regarded as one
of the most important figures in Asians literature. He was born on November 9, 1877, in Sialkot and
died on April 21, 1938, in Lahore. He was stunch advocate for the idea of a separate Muslim state,
which ultimately led to the creation of Pakistan in 1947, after his death.
Iqbal’s poetry was greatly influenced by his Islamic faith and his philosophical studies. His
most famous works include Shikwa and Jawab-e-Shikwa, which are considered classic examples of
Urdu poetry. He also wrote several books, including in Asrar-e-Khudi and Rumuzi-e-Bekhudi which
explore the themes of self-realization and nature.
His poetry often addresses themes of religion, philosophy, and social justice. He was against
colonialism and believed that the Muslim world needed to come together in order to combat the
injustices that they faced. His poetry was instrumental in inspiring the Muslim community to fight
for their rights. In addition he was also a political activist. He served the congress and was vocal
critic of British rule in India.
On the whole, Iqbal was a visionary poet, philosopher and political leader who played a key
role in the creation of Pakistan. His poetry and writings continue to inspire people all over the World
and are an important part of Asian Literature. His vision of social justice, religious tolerance, and
human rights remains relevant and important today, and his legacy will continue to inspire
generations to come.
