Spirit of Quaid-e-Azam |
Pakistan pauses to remember the man who defied history’s odds and redrew its map every 25 December. Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah is not merely the founder of a nation; he is the architect of an idea, an idea whose relevance has only deepened with time. History has proven that his creation of Pakistan was not an act of division, but of preservation: of identity, dignity, and political justice. As the subcontinent again bristles with hostility, the logic of Jinnah’s vision stands right, not through triumphalism, but through tragic affirmation.
For Jinnah, Pakistan was never meant to be a monument to the past; it was meant to be a moral proposition to the future. He did not fight for partition as an act of separation, but as an act of principle. Jinnah believed that political freedom was meaningless without moral sovereignty, which is the right of a people to live by their conscience, secure in equality, and guided by justice. His belief in the “two-nation theory” was less about theology and more about dignity. He foresaw that when a state confuses the majority with morality, the rights of the few will always be the first casualty.
