Muhammad Ali Jinnah - The Great Leader

1741440769712.png


About 77 years ago at Torkham Khyber, Muhammad Ali Jinnah and his sister, Miss Fatima Jinnah, extended a hand of friendship to an Afghan border guard, declaring, "We, Pakistanis and Afghans, are brothers, and no power on earth can separate us."

Today, it saddens me deeply to witness heavy exchanges of fire at the very same place where Jinnah once stood in goodwill.

“We have, undoubtedly, achieved Pakistan and that too without bloody war and practically peacefully by moral and intellectual force and with the power of pen which is no less mighty than the sword and so our righteous cause has triumphed. Are we now going to besmear and tarnish this great achievement for which there is no parallel in the whole history of the world?”- Mr. Jinnah / Quaid-e-Azam

“It was not concern of our predecessor Government; it was not concern of theirs to worry about it; they were here to carry on the administration, maintain law and order and to carry on their trade and exploit India as much as they could. But now we are in a different position altogether. Now I give you an example. Take America. When it threw off British rule and declared itself independent, how many nations were there? It had many races: Spaniards, French, Germans, Italians, English, Dutch and many more. Well, there they were. They had many difficulties. But mind you, their nations were actually in existence and they were great nations; whereas you had nothing. You have got Pakistan only now. But there a Frenchman could say 'I am a Frenchman and belong to a great nation' and so on. But what happened? They understood, and they realized their difficulties because they had sense, and within a very short time they solved their problems and destroyed all this sectionalism, and they were able to speak not as a German or a Frenchman or an Englishman or a Spaniard, but as Americans. They spoke in this spirit: 'I am an American' and 'We are Americans'. And so, you should think, live and act in terms that your country is Pakistan and you are Pakistani.”

- Mr. Jinnah / Quaid-e-Azam
- Speech: National Consolidation
- Context: Speech at a Public Meeting in Dacca 21 march 1948
 
“There is an immense scope in technical education for we want technically qualified people very badly. You can learn banking, commerce, trade, law, etc which provide so many opportunities now. Already you find that new industries are being started, new banks, new insurance companies, new commercial firms are opening and they will grow as you go on. Now, these are avenues and fields open to you. Think of them and divert your attention to them, and believe me, you will thereby benefit yourselves more than by merely going in for government service and remaining there, what I should say, the circle of the clerkship, working there from morning till evening, in most dingy and uncomfortable conditions. You will be far more happy and far more prosperous with far more opportunities to rise if you take to commerce and industry and will thus be helping not only yourselves but also your state.”

“Remember we are building up a state which is going to play its full part in the destinies of the whole Islamic World.

We, therefore, need a wider outlook, an outlook which transcends the boundaries of provinces, limited nationalism and racialism. We must develop a sense of patriotism which should galvanise and weld us all into one united and strong nation.

That is the only way in which we can achieve our goal, the goal of our struggle, the goal for which millions of Muslims have lost their all and laid down their lives.”

- Mr. Jinnah / Quaid-e-Azam

- Speech: Responsibilities of the youth
- Context: Reply to the address presented by the Students of Islamia College, Peshawar.

We believe in leveraging Mr. Jinnah's historic ideals to:


1. Build national character

2. Usher in an era of Islamic Renaissance

3. Develop a stronger partnership with America

4. Design a modern future in consonance with the rapid developments of the world
Jinnah's Pakistan is a platform that aims to provide hope, optimism and courage to achieve wild liberating possibilities for the economic, social, political and educational uplift of the people of Pakistan.



All national institutions derive their legitimacy and strength from the will of the citizens of Pakistan. The national will seeks its guidance from the historical promises and duties defined by Mr. Jinnah.



To deliver on this mission, we'll make you three promises:
  • We'll build a constructive national spirit
  • Every article will aim to strengthen our national resolve to radically accelerate progress
  • We aim to build a community of Pakistanis who will provide their practical expertise on matters via articles, podcasts, and videos.

We rely on the power of the pen to make an awesome change in national character, spirit and conduct.

“Pakistan is among the strongest supporters of ANC. Instead of establishing embassy tomorrow, you are welcome to do it today, as our great friend. I have been inspired by Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s constitutional struggle against the British colonial rule. I have read the book ‘Jinnah of Pakistan’ written by Stanley Wolpert, during my imprisonment days in Robin Island. I took an oath to myself then, that when I become free, I will visit Pakistan before any other country to pay my homage and respects to Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
