Answer:
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jannah was the architect of Pakistan. He was born on 25th December 1876. He fought sincerely and selflessly the battle of freedom for the Muslims and won in the long run. He received his early education in Karachi Mission School. Then, he was admitted in Sindh Madrasa-tul-Islam from where he passed his matriculation in 1895. Afterward, he went to England and took his Barrister’s degree from Lincoln’s Inn.
After completing his education, he came back to India and started law-practice in Bombay. Those were the days of British rule and Indians were fighting for freedom. Quaid-e-Azam, as his nature was, could not lag in this sacred task and soon by his persistent devotion to duty, sincerity and enthusiasm came to the front row of the freedom fighters. He started his political career as a member of the Bombay Legislature. Then he joined Indian Nation Congress. When he realized that the Congress was a neo-Hindu body, he resigned and joined the All India Muslim League in 1922. He had been the greatest spokesman of the Indian Muslims for a separate state for them.
By 1930 he became an undisputed leader of the Muslims. Soon he began to reorganize the Indian Muslim league all over India. People gave him the title of Quaid-e-Azam for his selfless services for the Muslim cause, freedom, and creation of Pakistan.
Mr. Jinnah’s integrity of character was beyond reproach. Gandhi called him ‘an impossible man’, for he would never compromise on principles. He stood like a rock against his opponents. He united the defeated groups of Muslims into a force to reckon with. From 1940 (The Year Of Pakistan Resolution) till his death on 11th September 1948, Quaid-e-Azam worked day and night for strengthening the Muslim League. It was due to his untiring efforts and wise leadership that Pakistan came into being.
He was a great champion of freedom for the people of India, our national hero, and one of the greatest leaders in the world. His political career covers a very wide span of about half a century. This career is the most spotless one that the world has ever known. Even his enemies admit the integrity of his character. It is our duty as the true Pakistanis to follow his footsteps and work honestly for the solidarity and prosperity of Pakistan—the land of the Pak or ‘the pious people’. Let us try to be ‘pious’ in the true sense. Let us uphold the biggest motto of our Quaid which is unity, faith, and discipline.
