Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who gave the Muslims of the subcontinent an independent homeland in the form of Pakistan, opened his eyes at the Wazir Mansion in Karachi on December 25, 1876. Who knew that this child would become a great leader and play an important role in crossing the Muslim subcontinent? Will
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah received his early education at Sindh Madrasa-ul-Islam and passed his matriculation examination from Mumbai University. Later, he left for London to pursue higher studies.
In 1895, at the age of 19, he obtained a law degree from the University of London and returned to Bombay to practice law, where he became one of the leading lawyers.
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah began his political career in 1896 and joined the Indian National Congress, but soon realized that the Congress was the only party representing Hindus where discrimination against Muslims was on the rise.
Thus, in 1913, he joined the All India Muslim League, the only party representing Muslims, and started a regular movement for a separate homeland.
After joining the All India Muslim League, Quaid-e-Azam devoted his days and nights to awakening the political consciousness of the Muslims. Eventually, his struggle came to fruition and on August 14, 1947, the dream of a separate homeland for the Muslims of the subcontinent came true. Pakistan was kept.
After independence, the nature of the Quaid-e-Azam became unhealthy and after battling many diseases, he finally passed away on September 11, 1948.
