From a geographical perspective, Pakistan is blessed with immense beauty and countless blessings. Today I write about Pakistan, a city of many blessings and unparalleled beauty.
Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, is not only one of the most beautiful cities in Pakistan, but also one of the most beautiful cities in the world. According to another website, London is the most beautiful capital city in the world, followed by Islamabad.
In this list, Berlin ranks third, Washington ranks fourth, Paris ranks fifth, Rome ranks sixth, Tokyo ranks seventh, Budapest ranks eighth, Ottawa ranks ninth, and Moscow ranks fifth. Islamabad’s popularity comes from the greenery, Margalla Hills, waterfalls and the rapids of the Savannah River.
Karachi was the capital of Pakistan until 1958. However, due to overcrowding, economic problems and lack of self-control in Karachi, President Ayub Khan decided to move the capital. A committee was formed to find the most beautiful and safest sites for conservation. The committee chose the Potohar Plateau at the foot of the Margalla Mountains and in 1960 the foundation stone was laid. Meanwhile, Rawalpindi was granted a permanent concession.
Ayub Khan sought advice from the state when it came to naming the capital. The proposal was considered at a federal cabinet meeting on February 24, 1960, chaired by Ayub Khan. Many suggestions included names such as Muslimburg, Jinnahabad and Islamabad. After discussions, the name Islamabad was chosen. The name Islamabad was suggested by Qazi Abdul Rahman, a teacher at Albar School. Subsequently, CDA, Islamabad Administrative Affairs Department, was established.
Historically, the Potohar Plateau has two million years of human history. The evidence is a stone axe found near the Savannah River and a cave in the village of Shah Aradita, which shows the Stone Age people. History also shows that the Potohar plateau was the first settlement of the Aryan family in Central Asia.
Furthermore, the existence of masjids, salais, temples, twelve rivers and ancient places of worship testify to the presence of warriors from Afghanistan, including Sher Shah Suri, Ahmed Shah Abdul , Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, and the Mongols, who did not settle this area alone. . But it also launched an invasion of the Indian subcontinent. In addition, Sufi saints such as Mir Ali Shah, Sayyid Abdul Latif Kazmi also settled in the area and inspired the people of the area with the light of Islam.
Regarding the location of Islamabad, it is located north of Murree Hills and Margalla Hills, west of Taxila, and east of Rawalpindi.
A city’s climate plays an important role in its environment. The people of Islamabad enjoy five seasons: winter from November to April, summer in May and June, monsoon in July and August, and autumn in September and October. The hottest month is June and the coldest month is January. The maximum temperature in summer reaches 45°C, which is lower than other cities because it is lined with green trees and surrounded by mountains.
Due to its beauty, Islamabad is home to many places of interest. In the capital, famous places include Shakarparian, Monument, Jasmine Garden at F-9, Royal Park, Zoo, Funfair, Lok Virsa and Daman-e-Kuh. Centaur Mall in Islamabad has also become popular since 2011.

As for water, life would not be possible without this divine blessing. Although Islamabad faces water shortage, Rawal Lake was built to meet this need. Rawal Lake is a reservoir that supplies water to cities such as Rawalpindi and Islamabad. It was created by merging small streams from the Margalla Hills into an area of 8.8 square kilometers. The lake is located in the secluded Margalla Hills National Park and is surrounded by lush trees, fields and hills. To enhance its beauty, various birds were also created. Lake Rawal is a popular tourist destination offering fishing and boating activities, and there is a beautiful park called Lake View Park on its shores.
