Hope ke all guppies will participate in it :slight_smile:

The Quaid’s last Message It was, therefore, with a sense of supreme satisfaction at the fulfillment of his mission that Jinnah told the nation in his last message on 14 August, 1948:

“The foundations of your State have been laid and it is now for you to build and build as quickly and as well as you can”. In accomplishing the task he had taken upon himself on the morrow of Pakistan’s birth, Jinnah had worked himself to death, but he had, to quote richard Symons, “contributed more than any other man to Pakistan’s survivial”. He died on 11 September, 1948. How true was Lord Pethick Lawrence, the former Secretary of State for India, when he said, “Gandhi died by the hands of an assassin; Jinnah died by his devotion to Pakistan”. A man such as Jinnah, who had fought for the inherent rights of his people all through his life and who had taken up the somewhat unconventional and the largely misinterpreted cause of Pakistan, was bound to generate violent opposition and excite implacable hostility and was likely to be largely misunderstood. But what is most remarkable about Jinnah is that he was the recipient of some of the greatest tributes paid to any one in modern times, some of them even from those who held a diametrically opposed viewpoint. The Aga Khan considered him “the greatest man he ever met”, Beverley Nichols, the author of `Verdict on India’, called him “the most important man in Asia”, and Dr. Kailashnath Katju, the West Bengal Governor in 1948, thought of him as “an outstanding figure of this century not only in India, but in the whole world”. While Abdul Rahman Azzam Pasha, Secretary General of the Arab League, called him “one of the greatest leaders in the Muslim world”, the Grand Mufti of Palestine considered his death as a “great loss” to the entire world of Islam. It was, however, given to Surat Chandra Bose, leader of the Forward Bloc wing of the Indian National Congress, to sum up succinctly his personal and political achievements. “Mr Jinnah”.

He said on his death in 1948, “ Was great as a lawyer, once great as a Congressman, great as a leader of Muslims, great as a world politician and diplomat, and greatest of all as a man of action, By Mr. Jinnah’s passing away, the world has lost one of the greatest statesmen and Pakistan its life-giver, philosopher and guide”. Such was Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the man and his mission, such the range of his accomplishments and achievements.

If only more of our leaders were like this great man. And not the fools we have had for the past few decades.

Re: In honour of Mr. Jinnah

Dont have a pic or many words. But will share this video. The relevant part is after 6:20 in the video timeline. Its time to put aside our differences and commemorate this day and recognize Jinnah’s message to his people -us.

Re: In honour of Mr. Jinnah

Here are three excepts from Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah's most important speeches laying out his vision for Pakistan:

*"You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed that has nothing to do with the business of the State." Quaid-e-Azam M.A. Jinnah in address to first constituent assembly, Aug 11, 1947

"In any case Pakistan is not going to be a theocratic state to be ruled by priests with a divine mission. We have many non-Muslims-Hindus, Christians and Parsis -- but they are all Pakistanis. They will enjoy the same rights and privileges as any
other citizens and will play their rightful part in the affairs of Pakistan." Quaid-i-Azam, Feb. 1948

“Never forget that you are the servants of the state. You do not make policy. It is we, the people’s representatives, who decide how the country is to be run. Your job is to only obey the decisions of your civilian masters.” Quaid-i-Azam's Address to Military Staff College, June 14, 1948.

You know what I find truly pathetic about this forum? Posters will write essays on Bhutto and how good she and her husband are great people. When they are infact crooks. But for Jinnah not a single of those *******s can post anything.

A great man, a great leader. The only one to single handly found a nation that never existed before. That is true greatness.

True

Let's all spare a moment to remember this great and honourable man and appreciate what he did for us and our nation

Comparing Jinnah to crooks like the Bhuttos or Sharifs is like comparing apples to oranges or chalk with cheese

There will never be another Jinnah....period

oh there is no doubt about this
i think comparing Quaid e Azam with Bhuttos or Sharifs is waist of time and i can only laugh at it.

Quotes from our beloved Qaide Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah:

Pakistan not only means freedom and independence but the Muslim Ideology which has to be preserved, which has come to us as a precious gift and treasure and which, we hope other will share with us.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah

That freedom can never be attained by a nation without suffering and sacrifice has been amply borne out by the recent tragic happenings in this subcontinent.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah

There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Re: In honour of Mr. Jinnah

gr8 Job ! :k: wish u all the best :slight_smile:

Re: In honour of Mr. Jinnah

There are plenty out there who do not like Quaid, they hated him then, they hate him now and as far as i can see, they'll continue to do that, but then they forget that they are hating a man and then enjoying the fruits of his achievements.

Very few persons in the history of the world have shown that the course of history can be changed with the determination and standing against all odds.

Re: In honour of Mr. Jinnah

Wah gr8 yaar! :k:

Re: In honour of Mr. Jinnah

He was no hypocrite.

Jinnah indeed remains one of the most important leaders to have shaped the history of this subcontinent. A man of supreme intellect and leadership, who enjoyed complete support of his followers, Jinnah also had his adversaries saying praise for him!

Only a doubt though! Did he actually found a nation that never existed before? Or that the nation existed since long (since Mohd. Bin Kasim or even since Harappa days!), and Jinnah only saw it get a separate political dispensation?

:salute:

You ever imagined what would happen if there was no Jinnah? Would Pakistan not come into being? Of course Pakistan would be created under another 'Kala Angrayz' imported from England.

Mentally enslaved nations like Pakistan create their heroes in their history books rightly or wrongly in order to give themselves some importance, otherwise they wouldn't be motivated or ambitious. In short, if you don't have a good history, write one to please you.

Zardari, even Altaf Husain makes good speeches, it's not a big deal. Such leaders keep 'servants' who write speeches for them.

I am again surprised.
If you wrote this about Qauid.
I can not believe a Pakistni could say this.
Hamari zindgi, hamari aazadi,
Hamaray sanse, hamari rooh.
Sab is aik shakhs ki badolat hain.
Please dont try to say any word like this again.

Well said :k: Yah Raahi If u can’t post something good then please leave space for some1 else Thankyou
