My Favourite Personality Quaid-e-Azam M Ali Jinnah

quaid e azam

In the history of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah (Quaid-e-Azam is the happy star) and he is my most beloved personality. The great leader was born on 25th December 1876 in the middle class merchant’s family. He is a national hero and founder of Pakistan.

Education:

Quaid after matriculation went for higher education in England. He was a brilliant student and hence he was given admission in the Lincoln’s Inn College where he studied the detailed aspects of law and completed his graduation. After his graduation, he returned back to India. He started his law practice in Bombay at the age of twenty years. In the region he was the only Muslim Barrister at that time. Throughout his profession he adopted English language due to fluency in it. The famous Hindu Advocate General of Bombay invited his to work for his chamber but he refused to join him.

Political career:

Quaid joined Indian National congress in 1906 and at that time he supported Hindu Muslim unity. When he saw narrow vision of some Hindu extremist leaders he was greatly disappointed. He found that Hindu leaders are not sincere to Muslims. He decided to quit Indian national Congress and joined Muslim League in 1913.

Due to his glorious vision he inspired the Muslims of India and worked hard for the betterment of Indian Muslims and demanded the separate homeland for the suppressed Indian Muslims. Many problems were created by the ruling elites of that time for him but he handled the hostility and problems with his wisdom. He introduced the two nation theory which united all the Muslims of India. Also he presented 14 points which were revolutionary in the history of subcontinent.

Founder of Pakistan:

With the untiring efforts of Quaid e Azam, the world acknowledged that there are two nations in India, Hindus and Muslims which are absolutely different from each other and they cannot coexist peacefully. He succeeded in his mission on 14th August 1947 when Pakistan came into existence on the world’s map. The struggle of Quaid e Azam, his devotion and untiring efforts made it possible for the Muslims of India to have a separate homeland. Quaid constituted the Council of Muslim leaders right after independence and they elected Quaid-e-Azam as head of the state. He took the oath as the first Governor General of new Islamic State, Pakistan.

Illness and sad demise of Quaid-e-Azam:

In 1930s Quaid-e-Azam suffered from tuberculosis and on the request of this great man his illness was kept confidential. Only Fatimah Jinnah and some close friends of Quaid knew this. When Pakistan came into existence he realized that the climate and environment of Karachi is not suitable for his health so he went to Ziyarat, a hill station near Quetta city in June 1948. The national building work broke down his health as he was under acute pressure. On 11th September 1948 he died, he was laid to rest in Karachi.
