Is celebrating independence day allowed islamically ?

@TLK

you dont go around life, checking what is Islamic about each and every act ..

I thought we are supposed to do exactly that

the philosophy works in opposite order

you look for , what is unislamic about our act and if we find something, we quit doing that

I dont see anything unislamic about observing 14th aug .. for the lack of better term, we call it celebration but it could be called rememberance or observing

Observing independence day of a country ( even muslim) has no place in

1.Islamic theology
2. Islamic tradition

Creation of different Muslim countries and nationalism has no place in islam.
there was a single islamic empire for some 1300 year, even though i dont think anyone ever celebrated it independence day.

I quote Dr. Muhammad Iqbal herewith as he understood the concept :

In taza khudao.n main BaRa sab se watan hai
Ju parahan iska hai, wo mazhab ka kafan hai
