You can estimate what Quaid-e-Azam was from the following expressions of the most important personalities of the world.
The author of Jinnah of Pakistan, Professor Stanley University of California, writes in the preface of his book that there are few people who change the course of history and even fewer people who change the map of the world. There is someone who establishes a new kingdom. Muhammad Ali Jinnah is a person who accomplished all three feats simultaneously.
Indian Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s sister Mrs. Vijay Lakshmi Pandit says that if the Muslim League had Sugandhi and two hundred Abul Kalam Azad and the Congress had only one leader Muhammad Ali Jinnah, then India would never have been divided. Klimt Attlee, Prime Minister of Great Britain, says that his faith in the cause of Pakistan has never wavered and his tireless struggle for this cause will always be remembered. Mr. Winston Churchill the British Prime Minister says that Mr. Jinnah is extremely strict in his intentions and his opinions. There is no inflexibility in his behavior. He is not only a sincere leader of the Muslim nation but also a true lawyer.
British thinker Bertrand Russell says that in the entire history of India, there has never been a great person who has been blessed with such popularity among Muslims. Former President of India Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed says that I consider Quaid-i-Azam as the great mujahid of the war against the British government. Prime Minister Italy Mussolini says that it will not be wrong to say that Quaid-e-Azam was a historical figure who was born after centuries. Master Tara Singh Sikh leader says that Quaid-e-Azam freed Muslims from the slavery of Hindus. If this person was born among Sikhs, he would have been worshipped.
Allama Mashriqi, the founder of the Khaksar Movement and a strong opponent of Quaid-e-Azam, said after hearing the Quaid’s death that his determination was firm. He was a brave and fearless soldier who did not hesitate to clash with his opponents. The last poem of Allama Syed Sulaiman Nadvi’s dedication to Quaid-e-Azam in Lucknow session of Muslim League in 1916 is as follows. Every sick nation has some hope to live. His doctor was Mr. Ali Jinnah.
Be it Gandhi or Nehru, all the opponents paid tribute to him on his death. Why not? Jinnah was the one whose unwavering determination changed the destiny of ten million defeated Muslims of the subcontinent to become warriors. There was a gathering of Hindu and Muslim Congress leaders in a gathering. Meanwhile, a Muslim participant in the gathering called Quaid-e-Azam to buy the British’s money. On which Sarojini Naidu said, “What did you say… Jinnah is buying the British’s money? You can buy it. I can be bought.”
Bapu Gandhi and Nehru can have a deal. But Jinnah is priceless, no one can buy him. His thinking is different from ours, but his integrity is beyond doubt. Such was our Quaid-e-Azam. Sarojini Naidu closed the sea in a jug.
One of Quaid-e-Azam’s drivers was Faqir Muhammad. He said that once on Friday I said to Miss Fatima Jinnah that I want leave for prayers, so she allowed it, but at that time, Baby Quaid-e-Azam’s daughter came out and said that she I have to go to meet my friends and they want to take me with them. I expressed my willingness but in the meantime Quaid-e-Azam came and scolded his daughter and said that Faqir Muhammad has to go for Friday prayers. You can’t take a car, ask someone to get a taxi for you.
Once the British Prime Minister Williams MacDonald offered to Jinnah that if you give up your opposition to the Federation, we will give you the title of Lord and make you the Governor of a province. Hearing this, Quaid-e-Azam stood up. When the British Prime Minister extended his hand for a handshake, he did not extend his hand. The British Prime Minister got sweaty with embarrassment and asked, what is the reason you got so angry. Quaid-e-Azam replied. In your opinion, I’m a badass.
Jawaharlal Nehru visited Allama Iqbal during his illness. During the conversation, Nehru said to Allama Iqbal. Hazrat Aap is a Muslim and powerful leader of Islamian India. Would it not be appropriate that you take the leadership of Islamian India in your hands? After hearing this, Allama Iqbal said. Jawaharlal, the captain of our boat is only Muhammad Ali Jinnah. I am a lowly soldier in his army. Somewhere in this whole story you see mention of someone else… where are the so-called founders of Pakistan?
In the next column, you will be informed about an incredible secret regarding the establishment of Pakistan. You will be surprised to know that.
