Quaid-e-Azam

(Muhammad Ali Jinnah)

   Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a Pakistani politician, lawyer, and thinker who is known as the founder of Pakistan. He was born in Karachi, India (now Pakistan) in 1876, and studied law in London before returning to India to practice as a barrister. In 1906, he joined the All India Muslim League, a political party that represented the interests of Muslims in India.



Jinnah rose rapidly through the ranks of the Muslim League and became one of its leading figures. He was a strong advocate for Muslim rights in India and worked tirelessly for the establishment of a separate Muslim state, which he believed was necessary to protect the rights and interests of Muslims in a Hindu-majority country.


Jinnah's efforts to create a separate Muslim state finally succeeded in 1947, when Pakistan gained independence from India. Jinnah was appointed as the first Governor General of Pakistan and served in that role until his death in 1948.



Jinnah is remembered as a skilled politician and a strong leader who played an important role in the creation of Pakistan. He is known as Quaid-e-Azam (meaning "Great Leader") in Pakistan and is revered as the "Father of the Nation".
