Re: Vision of our Founding Father
“WE HAVE GOT THE GREATEST MESSAGE IN THE **QURAN **FOR OUR GUIDANCE AND ENLIGHTENMENT.”
“**THE PROPHET OF ISLAM (PBUH)** WAS A GREAT TEACHER, A GREAT REFORMER, A GREAT LAW-GIVER, A GREAT STATESMAN, AND A GREAT RULER.”
“OUR SALVATION LIES IN FOLLOWING THE GOLDEN RULES OF CONDUCT SET FOR US BY OUR GREAT LAW-GIVER,** THE PROPHET OF ISLAM (PBUH)**.”
“WE MUST WORK OUR DESTINY IN OUR OWN WAY AND PRESENT TO THE WORLD AN ECONOMIC SYSTEM BASED ON TRUE ISLAMIC CONCEPT OF EQUALITY OF MANHOOD AND SOCIAL JUSTICE.”
“IT IS THE **GREAT BOOK QURAN THAT IS THE SHEET ANCHOR OF MUSLIM INDIA**. I AM SURE THAT, AS WE GO ON AND ON, THERE WILL BE MORE AND MORE OF ONENESS – ONE GOD, ONE BOOK, ONE QIBLA, ONE PROPHET, ONE NATION.”
"What is it that keeps the Muslims united as one man, and what is the bedrock and sheet-anchor of the community? It is Islam. It is the Great Book, Quran, that is the sheet-anchor of Muslim-India. I am sure that as we go on and on there will be more and more of oneness – one God, one Book, one Prophet and one Nation.”

**“Islam”, he said, “does not recognise any kind of distinction of caste, and the Prophet [PBUH] was able to level down all castes and create national unity among Arabs. Our bedrock and sheetanchor is Islam. There is no question even of Shias and Sunnis. We are one and we must move as one nation, and then alone we shall be able to retain Pakistan.”
