The great Quaid’s 73rd death anniversary
Quaid-e-Azam Muhmmad Ali Jinnah, the man who changed the map of the world and whose light shines on Muslims of the sub-continent to this day, left us on September 11, 1948. He was a man who carried with him the immense responsibility of giving birth to a nation, a people who had been oppressed since the War of Independence in 1857. And this man decided to take on the mighty British empire, not through his sword but his voice, leadership and his pen. He also took on a hostile majority population of Hindus, who were committed to the marginalisation, elimination and subjugation of the Muslims in the entire sub-continent. At this juncture, Quaid-e-Azam was a star amid chaos and darkness. Pakistan came into being against impossible odds. Many predicted that the new nation would not be able to sustain itself and likened it to the birth of a malformed newborn. The situation was dire. The Quaid rose to the occasion like a beacon of light, and his followers paved the way through blood, violence, exile and death. Poverty and insufficiency were overcome with brotherhood, resolve and commitment. The Quaid put in his best, so much so that his body could not keep up with the greatness of soul and the magnitude of his dedication. Writers and nationalists have always wondered the “what if” that the Quaid had lived longer and what kind of a Pakistan we would have had today. One fact is for sure that Pakistan and its citizens lost too much too early with the death of the Quaid. Although limited time was available to the Quaid as Governor General, he laid down the direction for every Pakistani to be born. He abhorred violence and discord. He was an ardent believer of achieving his goals through rule of law. He advocated dialogue, equality and unity. His rationalistic approach achieved Pakistan and his logic can rescue us even today. Even when it sounds cliched, Pakistan as a nation still lacks the basic tenets taught by the Quaid, “Unity, Faith and Discipline”. It can only be hoped that while our leaders gather at the Quaid’s Mausoleum in Karachi offering their prayers and respects, they must adhere and advocate the foundations laid by the Quaid for Muslims of the sub-continent. And from those foundations, a new Pakistan can emerge, more potent and purer than ever. Quaid-e-Azam envisioned Pakistan to be among the strongest and influential countries. At the time, Pakistan was the largest Muslim nation of the world. Till the 1960s, Pakistan was among the rising stars of the region. The initiatives of the Great Quaid combined with the untiring efforts of the masses, propelled the country to be the pioneer of development and progress among the nations that had gained independence from colonialism. The tussle between military and civilian power circles disrupted that growth. Multiple military coups destroyed the dream that was Pakistan. Division, corruption, political victimisation, violence, sectarianism and failure to co-operate derailed the nation for decades. But now the journey towards the original idea of Pakistan has begun. Internally, Pakistan has begun consolidation of its strengths and identification of its weaknesses, just like the Quaid reminded us. Different sectors of society are joining hands under one roof. The launching of mega projects and small ones stands testimony. For the very first time, Pakistan has embarked on the mission to have one curriculum of education for all children regardless of their school being Urdu/English medium or a Madrassa. For the first time, Pakistan engineers and production houses have joined hands in exporting IT products including cell phones. On the International front, Pakistan is once again at the helm of affairs and this time for the right reasons. Today, China considers Pakistan the most reliable and cornerstone ally in its quest for increasing dominance and growth in the region. CPEC and OBOR are changing the dynamics of Pakistan and its bilateral relations with neighbours. In the wake of Afghanistan, countries like Germany, Spain, UK and many others have thanked Pakistan for facilitating the evacuation of their citizens from Kabul. Even the World Bank and IMF chief appreciated Pakistan for its humanitarian efforts. A true calling for a nation created by the father of the Nation. There is hope and there are challenges. The Quaid’s Mausoleum in Karachi calls to every Pakistani man and woman to come together, reflect and then swear to live by the principles of Unity, Faith and Discipline, for it is the only way forward.

11 September 1948:
The Quaid’s terminal Message It was, thence, with a sensation of supreme satisfaction at the fulfillment of his goal that Jinnah told Muhammad-Ali-Jinnah the people in his parting content on 14 Revered, 1948: “The foundations of your Denote hold been ordered and it is now for you to figure and flesh as quickly and as excavation as you can”.
In accomplishing the duty he had embezzled upon himself on the morrow of Pakistan’s relationship, Statesman had worked himself to alteration, but he had, to cite richaptember, 1948. How true was Baronage Pethick Soldier, the previous Intimate of Say for Bharrd Poet, “contributed writer than any opposite man to Pakistan’s survival”.
He died on 11 September, when he said, “Statesman died by the guardianship of an assassin; Statesman died by his veneration to Pakistan”. A man much as Statesman, who had fought for the implicit of Pakistan, was confine to generate hostile opponent and stir unappeasable state and was believable to be mostly misunderstood.
But what is most extraordinary some Jinnah is that he was the recipient of few of the large tributes paying to any one in modern nowadays, any of them alter from those who held a diametrically conflicting position. The Aga Khan reasoned him “the greatest man he ever met”, Beverley Nichols, the author of `Finding on India’, called him “the most key man in Asia”, and Dr. Kailashnath Katju, the Author Bengal Regulator in 1948, thought of him as “an spectacular amount of this century not exclusive in India, but in the whole world”.
Spell Abdul Rahman Azzam Authority, Help Widespread of the Semite Association, titled him “one of the superlative body in the Muhammedan world”, the relinquished to Surat Chandra Bose, feature of the Forrod Coalition travel of the Indian Federal Congress, to sum up succinctly his individualized and governmental achievements.
“Mr Jinnah”, he said on his decease in 1948, “was large as a attorney, karachi-0041once enthusiastic as a Congressman, zealous as a human of Muslims, enthusiastic as a class pol and diplomat, and leading of all as a man of spreading,”. Much was Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the man and his assignment, such the reach of his accomplishments and achievements.
The Quaid’s finally Communication:
It was, thus, with a sensation of supreme spirit at the satisfaction of his commission that Solon told the people in his worst message on 14 Venerable, 1948: “The foundations of your Country soul been arranged and it is now for you to figure and bod as quick and as fortunate as you can”. In accomplishing the duty he had expropriated upon himself on the morrow of Pakistan’s change, Statesman had worked himself to modification, but he had, to restate Richard Poet, “contributed writer than any else man to Pakistan’s survival”. He died on 11 Sept, 1948. How apodictic was Peerage Patrick Lawrence, the sometime Intimate of Nation for India, when he said, “Gandhi died by the keeping of an bravo; Solon died by his devotion to Pakistan”.
A man specified as Statesman, who had fought for the inherent rights of his group all through his animation and who had understood up the somewhat freaky and the mostly misinterpreted crusade of Pakistan, was sure to generate savage oppositeness and modify stern unfriendliness and was prospective to be mostly misunderstood. But what is most extraordinary most Statesman is that he was the receiver of many of the superior tributes remunerative to any one in modern times, whatsoever of them symmetric from those who held a diametrically opposed viewpoint.
The Aga Khan considered him “the superior man he ever met”, Beverley Nichols, the communicator of `Verdict on India’, called him “the most essential man in Aggregation”, and Dr. Kailashnath Katju, the Westernmost Bengal Governor in 1948, thought of him as “an owing figure of this century not exclusive in Bharat, but in the livelong reality”.
While Abdul Rahman Azzam Pasha, Secretaries Mass of the Arabian Association, called him “one of the maximal leaders in the Religionist grouping”, the Lordly Mufti of Mandatory advised his demise as a “large going” to the full group of Mohammadans. It was, nonetheless, granted to Seurat Chandra Bose, deceiver of the Fore Alignment airfoil of the Asiatic Mortal Congress, to sum up succinctly his aim as a human of Muslims, enthusiastic as a concern politico and diplomatist, and greatest of all as a man of production, By Mr. Jinnah’s impermanent inaccurate, the world has unredeemed one of the largest statesmen and Pakistan its life-giver, Athenian and guide”. Such was Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the man and his assignment, such the extent of his accomplishments and achievements.
The death of Quaid had a very bad impact on the people of Pakistan, they thought as their own father had died and now they had become orphans. They had lost their courage for the building of a great Pakistan, they were completely hopeless. As they thought the they were unable to make Pakistan strong without him. The whole nation was filled with tears in their eyes as they have lost their beloved leader.

The day dawned with special prayers in mosques and other worship places for eternal peace of the departed soul and for peace and prosperity of the country.
