The honorary grave of Allama Iqbal is located in the Turkish city of Konya. Iqbal was a Pakistani poet, philosopher, and politician who is considered to be the spiritual father of Pakistan. He died in 1938 and was buried in Lahore, Pakistan. However, in 1960, the Turkish government offered to build an honorary grave for Iqbal in Konya, which is the home of the Sufi mystic Rumi. The Pakistani government accepted the offer and the honorary grave was inaugurated in 1961.
