Muhammad Ali Jinnah: The Formulator Of Universal Muslim Identity

December 25, 2022, is the 146th birthday of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (RA), the founder of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. We will learn in-depth about Quaid-e-Azam's outstanding accomplishments, public opinion, and message in this article.

In his book Jinnah of Pakistan, Professor Stanley Wolpert describes Quaid-e-Azam as follows: There aren't many people who significantly alter history. The world map is still edited by very few people. Nobody is credited with establishing a nation-state. Each of the three was performed by Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the Quaid-e-Azam, was a firm believer in the establishment of an Islamic-based, independent state for the Muslims of the subcontinent.

The Islamic renaissance and Islamic idealism among Muslims of the subcontinent were born out of the capable leadership and struggle of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, which led to Pakistan becoming an independent Islamic republic on August 14, 1947. When Muhammad Ali Jinnah first got involved in politics, he didn't have much time to write. However, his staff and fans have compiled his speeches and sayings into several volumes. The need for an Islamic republic for the 100 million Muslims living in British India is the subject of the majority of his speeches.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a firm devotee of Islam, which he depicted as a "powerful religion and a lifestyle." But it won't be a week when people's hearts soften because it is a clear contradiction of all religions that the weak should be strong, and this is especially true in the case of Islam, and those who believe they are wronging God and His Messenger," he said in a broadcast speech on the day of Eid.

The 100 million Muslims who were fighting for a separate Muslim state were profoundly influenced by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah's devotion to Islam, and his intellectual pursuits focused on modernizing traditional Islamic ideologies. Religion, in Muhammad Ali Jinnah's view, entails a responsibility not only to God but also to humanity. Man is referred to as the caliph of God in the Qur'an, and if man's explanation is significant, it requires us to adhere to the Qur'an and treat others as God does. treats everyone as an individual. He should cherish and endure. We remain steadfast in our devotion and daily routine to this belief. It's a lofty goal that will necessitate effort and sacrifice. There will be not just material contentions, which you might have the option to determine with fortitude yet, in addition, otherworldly ones. We will have to confront them, and if our hearts are weak right now, we won't be brave enough to do so. We won't ever do that.

Maulana Ghulam Murshid, the Imam of Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, met Quaid-e-Azam in November 1945 at the first meeting of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam in Calcutta. On his behalf, Quaid-e-Azam was assured that the Qur'an's commandments would serve as the foundation. Law in the Muslim State, Quaid-i-Azam wrote in a November 1945 letter to Pir Sahib of Manki Sharif: will be able to make and not refute. Muslims will no longer be subject to non-Islamic laws with Sharia law. In a June 1947 public meeting with Maulana Shabbir Ahmad Usmani, the Quaid gave a firm assurance that Pakistan would implement the Islamic Constitution. On February 4, 1948, Quaid-i-Azam made the following declaration while addressing a reform plan at the Sibi Darbar: I had in mind a fundamental principle, Muslim democracy when I proposed this plan. I believe that adhering to the golden rule set forth by our great Islamic prophet will save us. Let's build our democracy on real Islamic principles and ideas. In a February 1948 televised address to Australians, Quaid outlined the Islamic characteristics of Pakistani society as follows:

"Muslims make up the vast majority of us. We adhere to what the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) taught. We are a part of an Islamic brotherhood in which rights, dignity, and self-respect are all on an equal footing for everyone. Not only are the majority of us Muslims, but we also have our unique history, traditions, ways of thinking, attitudes, and instincts that give off a sense of nationalism. In a February 1948 radio broadcast, the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan stated that the Pakistani Constitution had not yet been drafted. Although the final form of this constitution is unknown, I am certain that it will be democratic and reflect Islam's fundamental principles.

They still hold today just as they did 1,300 years ago. Democracy is something Islam and its idealism have taught us. It has shown us human equity, equity, and a majority rules system. He has taught everyone equality, fairness, and justice. As the creators of Pakistan's future constitution, we fulfill our responsibilities and fulfill these glorious traditions. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the Quaid-e-Azam, advocated a logical approach whenever he was allowed to speak about Islam. We will accomplish our objectives on our scale. But if we put this truth into practice, we will be content as long as we don't violate anyone else's rights and never give up on our efforts to accomplish more.

Quaid-i-Azam stated in another context: The culture of humanity, the culture of equality, is the test of greatness, not the culture of stones, pillars, and splendor. An exploitative religion can only be considered a legacy by a man who has died from all the great virtues of humility and civility. Muhammad Ali Jinnah talked in the judgment of traditionalist components which bring about regrettable propensities. Quaid-e-Azam addressed Tehreek-e-Pakistan's role in the eradication of fundamentalism, stating: We haven't completely eradicated the unwarranted influence and fear of a small group of people who used to call themselves Islamic fundamentalists. The extraordinary pioneer Muhammad Ali Jinnah upheld the reason for ladies, upholding equivalent support of ladies in friendly and public life as per Islamic lessons.

Women must play the most important role in the enormous task of building the nation and maintaining its unity. They are the primary architects of the youth's role, which serves as the state's foundation. I am aware that Pakistani Muslim wives strongly support their husbands in the prolonged struggle to establish Pakistan. The previous British viceroy, Lord Mountbatten, rightly acknowledged that he tried every trick he could think of, but he was unable to shake Jinnah's determination to establish Pakistan. True to his word, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (RA) was in favor of an Islamic republic. Let us examine Quaid's message and work for Pakistan's development and unity.
