Iqbal Khan Shaheed<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Hilal-e-Jurat\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Born on November 15, 1960, in Pashtoon Garhi, Nowshera, Captain Muhammad Iqbal joined the Pakistan Army in 1982. He was one of the brave officers of the Pakistan Army, who on the world&#8217;s highest battle zone Siachin embraced martyrdom on September 25, 1987, defending his country against the enemy and immortalized himself forever. His courage shone brightly during the Qiadat Operation, where he led his platoon to reclaim the Rana Post under brutal weather conditions and relentless enemy fire. Despite severe injuries, he pressed forward, eventually embracing martyrdom in his mission to take the Akbar post, leaving behind an indelible legacy of bravery and selflessness.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Captain Iqbal&#8217;s values and humility were as remarkable as his battlefield exploits. Known for his piety and compassion, he treated everyone with respect, transcending social hierarchies. His last will, penned just months before his martyrdom, reflected his deep commitment to simplicity and Islamic teachings. He requested no ostentation at his grave, urging instead that resources be used for acts of charity, education, and communal welfare. Such was his devotion to his faith and his people that his grave in Pashtoon Garhi remains unadorned, in line with his wishes, serving as a silent testament to his life&#8217;s principles. Brigadier (Retd) Rasheed Malik, who fought alongside Captain Iqbal, recalled his extraordinary bravery during the Siachen operation, where he faced two formidable enemies: the Indian Army and the harsh environment. His unwavering determination inspired his comrades, even as he bore the brunt of the battle almost singlehandedly. Every year, his martyrdom is commemorated with Quran Khwani and prayers, reflecting the immense respect and gratitude he continues to command. Captain Muhammad Iqbal Khan Shaheed remains an enduring symbol of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering faith, inspiring generations to honour and serve their motherland.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Captain M.
