Abstract
A symbol of Islamic civilization is Urdu. Pakistan was founded on the principles of Islam. Urdu should be Pakistan's official language, not a tongue that imperialists imposed upon the country. Therefore, it has been essential and required to evaluate and analyse the current state of language in depth in order to suggest a logical and workable solution to the issue. The current research has looked at a lot of historical facts and significant historical claims. In the current study, historical quotes from Quaid-e-Azam and other people who played a significant role in the development of language policy were specifically used. The research is exploratory and qualitative in character. The fact that Urdu can be used to communicate with everyone in Pakistan makes it the nation's "Lingua Franca." Offices use English for written communication. This issue is entirely solved by Urdu, making it legitimate to call it the world language.
