- Subject: 11) Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah - The Founder of Pakistan
-
-
- QUAID-E-AZAM -- The Founder of Pakistan.
- Amjad Shah <S.A.H.S.Shah1@lut.ac.uk>
-
-
- Baba-e Qaum, Quaid-e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinah was born in Karachi on
- December the 25th, 1876, in a building known as Wazir Mansion. He got
- his early education at Karachi and Bombay. He did his barristery from
- England. He saw the name of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) on the top of the
- gate of Lincoln's Inn. So he decided to study there. After his return,
- Jinah started his practice in barristery. He joined All India National
- Congress in 1906. He attended for the first time a meeting of All India
- Muslim League in 1912. Later he Joined All India Muslim League in 1913.
- The third political party he joined was the Home Rule League.
-
- He was member of both the Congress and Muslim League at the same time.
- Initially he remained working with the Hindu leaders of Congress. He was
- given the title of "Ambassador of Hindu Muslim Unity" by prominent
- politicians. With the passage of time he realised that the Hindu leaders
- of Congress have a different agenda. He left Congress and became fully
- involved with Muslim League.
-
- Jinah was a man of principles. He was probably the only person among all
- the big leaders of the subcontinent, who never went to jail. His motto
- was: Unity, Faith and Discipline.
-
- When Muslim League finally decided to have a separate country for
- Muslims of the subcontinent, it was the leadership of Jinah which led
- the nation to achieve this goal. Because of these leadership qualities
- and his firm stand on the issue, Britishers found no way to reject the
- demand of Muslims of the subcontinent for a separate homeland. He took
- charge as the first Governor General of Pakistan on 14th of August 1947
- in a ceremony at Karachi.
-
- India never took risk of invading Hyderabad or Junagarh in his life.
-
- Jinah died on September the 11th, 1948, at Ziarat near Quetta. He was
- buried in Karachi. His tomb is a beautiful piece of architecture and is
- worth visiting.

- Subject: 12) Allama Iqbal - The National Poet of Pakistan
-
-
- ALLAMA IQBAL ---
- by Amjad Shah
-
- Hakeem-ul-Ummat Shaair-e-Mashriq Dr. Sir Allama Muhammad Iqbal was born
- in Sialkot on November the 9th, 1877. He got his school and college
- education from Sialkot. He got his B.A. and M.A. from Government College
- Lahore. He got Gold Medal in M.A. Philosophy from University of the
- Punjab. During his studies, his personality was influenced by Maulvi Mir
- Hasan (one of his school teachers) and Prof. Arnold (his teacher of
- philosophy at Government College Lahore and later at Cambridge).
-
- Iqbal started his career as Reader (a teaching grade below
- professorship) in Arabic at Government College Lahore. During this time
- he wrote a first ever book on islamic economics in Urdu. By the time he
- was a popular poet in the literary circles of Lahore.
-
- Iqbal Stayed in Europe from 1903 to 1907 for higher studies. He studied
- at Cambridge (England) and Munich (Germany). Finally he got his PhD
- degree from Munich University. The title of his thesis was "The
- Development of Metaphysics in Persia". Once, during his stay in Europe
- Iqbal decided to stop saying poetry in Urdu at all and to say in Persian
- only. Because there were ready made compound words in Persian and it was
- much easier to describe one's thoughts in Persian as compared with Urdu.
- On the request of some Muslim Scholars, he refrain from doing so. They
- told him that his audience is hindi, so he must write in Urdu as well,
- so that maximum people can benefit from his visualizations. He also did
- barristery during his stay at Europe.
-
- After his return to Lahore, he was an advocate at Lahore High Court. Now
- he was a very popular poet. In the fund raising public meetings of the
- charity Anjuman-e Himaeyat-e Islam, his poems like "Naala-e Yateem",
- "Shikwah" and "Jawab-e Shikwah" were sold as high as Rs. 50/- per copy.
-
- Iqbal in his political career, joined All India Muslim League. He also
- participated two out of three round table conferences at London. In 1930
- he presided over the Annual Convention of All India Muslim League in
- Allah Abad. In his famous presidential address he told the nation that
- he is seeing a muslim rule in the muslim majority areas soon to be
- established. This is also known as the dream of Iqbal, which became
- reality as Pakistan in 1947.
-
- Iqbal died in Lahore on April the 21st, 1938, after an illness of about
- four months. He is buried near the footsteps of the Badshahi Mosque
- Lahore. His desire was that his age should not be more than the age of
- Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).
-
-
- His poetry books are:
-
- Urdu -- Baal-e Jibreel, Baang-e Dara, Zarb-e Kaleem, Armaghan-e Hijaz
- (This book is both in Urdu and Persian)
-
- Persian -- Asrar-e Khudi, Ramooz-e Be-khudi, Piyaam-e Mashriq, P'as Cheh
- Baa-eyad Kard ai Aqwaam-e Sharq, Javed Nameh, Armaghan-e Hijaz.
