Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Founder of Pakistan Quaid-e-Azam was born on December 25, 1876 in Karachi, Pakistan. Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a confident, selfless, principled and invaluable figure. His father's name was Poonja Jinnah who was a merchant by profession. Muhammad Ali Jinnah received his early education from Bombay University and passed the barrister's examination from Lincoln's Inn in London. He returned to Mumbai in 1896 after obtaining a legal degree and began his practice in the Mumbai High Court and became a successful lawyer.
Political Life
At that time, the Indian subcontinent was under British control and was fighting for independence. Muhammad Ali Jinnah was deeply concerned that the Muslims had no leadership to fight the war of independence, so he too began to take an interest in politics. In 1916 he joined Indian National Congress. As a member of Congress, Jinnah first worked with Hindu leaders as an ambassador of the Hindu-Muslim Alliance. Gradually, Jinnah realized that the Hindu leader of the Congress was only working for the benefit of the Hindus. In 1926, Muhammad Ali Jinnah shifted to the opposite view and began supporting separate electorates. He believed that the rights of Muslims in a united India could be protected. In 1920, Muhammad Ali Jinnah left the Indian National Congress party. He joined the Muslim League in 1913.
His differences with the Congress were growing. In 1930, Allama Iqbal and some other Muslim leaders proposed a separate country for the Muslim people of India. And came to the conclusion that Hindus and Muslims cannot live in the same country. Jinnah became the president of the Muslim League in 1934 and the Muslim League began working for a separate country. For this, a resolution was passed in 1940 called the Pakistan Resolution. In this resolution, the new country was named Pakistan.
Two Nation Theory
Quaid-e-Azam had said in a speech at the Muslim University of Aligarh on March 8, 1944 that the Pakistan movement had started on the day the first Muslim was born in India and that it was a time when Muslim rule had not been established here. In a speech at Edwardes College Peshawar in November 1945, he said that the difference between the two nations is not just religion - our culture is different from each other. Our religion gives us a code of conduct that guides us in every area of life. We want to live according to this code.
Acquisition of Pakistan
After World War II, on June 16, 1946, Britain announced the division of the subcontinent into two countries, one for Muslims and one for Hindus. The Muslim League, led by Jinnah, welcomed the British plan and on August 16, 1946, Jinnah announced direct action for the independence of Pakistan, a separate Muslim country. The independent state of Pakistan that Jinnah envisioned came into being on August 14, 1947. The next day, Jinnah was sworn in as Pakistan's first Governor General.
Quaid-e-Azam Death
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali worked tirelessly to achieve Pakistan regardless of his health. The credit for changing the destiny of Muslims in the Indian subcontinent goes to Jinnah. Jinnah's dream was based on the principles of justice, brotherhood and equality. This great leader of Pakistan died on September 11, 1948.
Allama Iqbal's words for Jinnah:
In my view, Quaid-e-Azam is currently the only Muslim in all of India with whom the Nation of Islam has the right to associate its hope that he will, in the storm that is coming here, take this boat to the shore in peace and tranquility.
Edwin Samuel Montagu words for Jinnah
A clean, well-mannered young man whose gait has a profound effect on the heart. A great expert in logical stakes in conversation. Claimant to fully assert his point. He does not tolerate any amendment in his opinion. I lost by talking to him. Imran tried to argue with him but Jinnah's power of reasoning completely confused him and knocked him down. He has a very intelligent personality. There can be no more violation of rights than even a person like Jinnah can not interfere in the system of government?
Gopal Krishna Gokhale Words:
Whenever India gets independence, it will be thanks to Jinnah.
Sayyed Abu-l-Hasan Isfahan writes that Quaid-e-Azam used to say that those who praise my honesty do not respect me in any way - to be honest is a requirement of humanity. Why praise for meeting the needs of humanity. In other words, the one who is not honest is not a human being.
