Iqbal Day is celebrated in Pakistan but also across Pakistan with different ceremonies, speeches, and educational activities.

In some cases, the government has declared it a public holiday, but it has not been consistently recognized as such each year, and even not sent iqbal day holiday notification. Many Pakistanis still hope to see Iqbal Day recognized as an official holiday annually. Because it is a very special and happy day for Pakistan nation.
