In this travelogue, Dr. Shadai described in detail how Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad helped him on his return journey and made it possible for him to get a passport. And on his return home. | |||
"On 14th September, 1946, His eminence Maulana Abul Kalam Aazad wrote to me from Masoori in which he advised me to return to India as soon as possible because, he said, that all patriots must come back to Delhi." | |||
"The reason was that I had been asked by Maulana Azad to reach India as soon as possible. Sardar Ajit Singh who had met both Mr. Nehru and the Maulana wrote to me that they had decided to appoint me as the Indian ambassador to Italy. | |||
The second reason was that all my life I had been working for Indian Independence and I had no notion of Pakistan although I had read something about it in the London Times in the year 1933." | |||
He also compiled how he countered the false propaganda against the Muslims of India in the Arab countries. | |||

===Pakistan Day Cairo, Egypt<ref>[https://fruit-chat.com/iqbal-shedai/iqbal-shedai-speech-on-pakistan-day-cairo-egypt-23-8-1947/ Dr. Iqbal Shedai’s speech on Pakistan Day Cairo, Egypt 23/8/19477]</ref>=== | |||
Dr. Iqbal Shedai celebrated Pakistan Day on 23-8-1947, in Cairo, Egypt. And deliver an historic speech. | |||
"Ladies and Gentlemen-Assalam-o-aleikum wa Rahmatullah, | |||
On behalf of the Pakistanis here in Egypt and elsewhere in the world, I thank you and through you, your respected kings, presidents, and nations for joining us in our rejoicing and happiness for the historic achievement of our freedom and independence. | |||
I assure you, brethren, that we shall never forget your kindness and sympathy shown to us in these last 8 days. | |||
Through press and platform. I pray to Allah Karim that those of our brethren who are still suffering under the foreign yoke should see the most happy days. | |||
As we the Pakistanis are seeing and enjoying. They must rest assured that we are and shall remain with them spiritually in their adversity and in their happiness as well. | |||
Gentlemen, much has been said and written about my newly-born country and its great and illustrious leader-Quad-i-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah I, there Fore need not repeat the same things at this moment as we have very limited time at our disposal and secondly the weather, too, does not permit us to remain closed in this hall. I would simply tell you in a few words that our freedom which we have snatched from our foes is the work of only one person. | |||
Our dearest quad-i-Azam [[Mohammed Ali Jinnah]]. Before this great son of Islam took the reins of our leadership, we did not know what we were struggling for. | |||
Our old leaders had no clear-out program to put before us. We were wandering behind them in an unlimited wilderness without any aim or object. This man was sent by God Almighty to lead us to victory, light, and freedom. In six years only he got back that most precious and dearest gem of liberty which had been snatched from us by the British a century and a half ago. | |||
Gentlemen this brave and courageous man was alone in the midst of a terrible whirlwind of taunts from both our friends and foes. Some called him a lackey of the British Imperialists and others called him the enemy of India and of the whole East. But that great Son of Islam stood like a rock amidst this stormy ocean of human taunts. | |||
His only reply to his friends and foes was, | |||
“I shall get for my people a free and independent PAKISTAN”. | |||
He succeeded in his aims and today we are here to congratulate him and his happy nation, | |||
The Pakistan, Free and independent Pakistan is a great boon for the East in general and for the Muslim peoples in particular. We are not imperialists but we shall fight against any eventual enemy to the last man for the freedom and independence of our fatherland which our QUAD-i-AZAM has entrusted us. | |||
At the same time, we shall help those of our brothers who are suffering under foreign yoke and are struggling for their freedom." also speak out his vision about Muslims of the world. | |||
This travel book is still in the archives of the Government of Pakistan. | |||
