The greatest of Aulia supported Quaid. A Saint Amir-e-Millat Pir Jamaat ali Shah sb said on 3rd all India Sunni Conference1946: "People call Jinnah as infidel, but, I call him a saint, people express their own opinion but I say it in the light of Quran and Hadiths. Those who believe in their Allah and obey Him Allah creates love and reverence for them in the hearts of people (Quran). Now is there anybody other than Jinnah who is loved and respected by ten crore Muslims of India?"!! MashAllah!!!
"The Palestine question is very much agitating the minds of the Muslims. I have no doubt that the League will pass a strong resolution on this question and also by holding a private conference of the leaders. Personally I would not mind going to jail on an issue which affects both Islam and India. The formation of a Western base on the very gates of the East is a menace to both" Iqbal to Quaid 1937. Imagine, Iqbal even wanted to go to jail for this critical issue of Ummah!
Baba Iqbal, even directed Quaid Azam on the foreign policy and issues of the Muslim world way back in 30's. The Palestinian issue was raised by Quaid on the instructions of Iqbal. Eveyr step Quaid took was on the directions, guidance and encourangeemtn of Baba Iqbal. After passing the Lahore resolution for Pakistan, Quaid visited the muqam of baba Iqbal and said that we have done exactly what Allama Iqbal had asked us to do! read below what Iqbal had said to Quaid!
"To my mind the new constitution with its ides of a single Indian federation is completely hopeless. A separate federation of Muslim provinces reformed on the lines I have suggested above, is the only course by which we can secure a peaceful India and save Muslims from the domination of non-Muslims. Why should not the Muslims of North-West India and Bengal be considered as nation entitled to Self-determination just as other nation as in India and outside India are?" Iqbal to Quaid, June 1937!
"The Congress President has denied the political existence of Muslims in no unmistakable terms. The other Hindu political body, i.e., the Mahasabha, whom I regard as the real representative of the masses of the Hindus, has declared more than once that a united Hindu-Muslim nation is impossible in India. In these circumstances it is obvious that the only way to a peaceful India is redistribution of the country on the lines of racial, religious and linguistic affinities". Iqbal to Quaid June 1937
"Happily there is a solution in the enforcement of the Law of Islam and its further development in the light of modern ideas. After a long and careful study of Islamic Law I have come to the conclusion that if this system of Law is properly understood and applied, at last the right to subsistence is secured to everybody. But the enforcement and development of the Shariat of Islam is impossible in this country without a free Muslim state or states" - Iqbal's letter to Quaid 28th May, 1937!
"In Islam, ultimate obedience belongs to God alone. The only way to follow this guidance is through the Holy Quran. Islam does not preach obedience to a king, parliament, person or institution. The Islamic Govt. means rule of Quran. And how can you establish the rule of the Holy Quran without an independent state?" - Quaid e Azam , address to the students of the Usmania University, Deccan, India (August 1941).
"Islam is not merely confined to the tenets and doctrine, rituals and ceremonies. It is a complete code regulating the whole Muslim Society, every department of life collectively and individually." - Quaid e Azam, Eid Message, September 1945.
"In Pakistan lie our deliverance, defence and honour. If we fail, we perish and there will be no signs and symptoms of Muslims or Islam left in the sub-continent". - Quaid e Azam, Pakistan Day, March 1945.
Quaid e Azam in a broadcast to people of USA, Feb 1948 said, "This dominion represents the fulfilment, in a certain measure, of the cherished goal of 100 million Muslims of this sub-continent. Pakistan is the premier Islamic state and the fifth largest in the world".
Quaid e Azam in a broadcast to people of USA, Feb 1948 said, "I do not know what the ultimate shape of this constitution will be, but I am sure that it will be of a democratic type, embodying the essential principles of Islam. Today, they are as applicable as they were 1300 years ago. Islam and its idealism have taught equality of man, justice and fair play to mankind."
Quaid e Azam said 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. We will thereby be fulfilling our mission as Muslims and giving to humanity the message of peace which alone can save it and secure the welfare, happiness and prosperity of mankind". Speech at the opening ceremony of State Bank of Pakistan, 1948.
Quaid e Azam said "We should have a state in which we could live and breathe as free men and which we could develop according to our own lights and culture and where principles of Islamic social justice could find free play". Address to Civil, Naval, Military and Air Force Officers of Pakistan Government, Karachi, October 11 1947.
Quaid e Azam said "You have to stand guard over the development and maintenance of Islamic democracy, Islamic and social justice and the equality of manhood in your own native soil. With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve". Address to the officers and men of the 5th Heavy Ack Ack and 6th Light Ack Ack Regiments in Malir, Karachi, Feb 21 1948.
Quaid e Azam said "Come forward as servants of Islam, organise the people economically, socially, educationally, and politically and I am sure that you will be a power that will be accepted by everybody". Presidental Address to All India Muslim League Lahore, March 23 1940.
Quaid e Azam said "The vital contest in which we are engaged is not only for the material gain but also the very existence of the soul of Muslim nation, Hence I have said often that it is a matter of life and death to the Musalamans and it is not a counter for bargaining". Presidential Address delivered at the Special Pakistan Session of the Punjab Muslim Students Federation, March 2 1941.
Pakistan Ya Shahadat
