Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was born on December 25, 1876, in Karachi. He was a lawyer by profession and a visionary political leader.
He turned the dream of an independent state into reality through strong leadership. His guiding principles were faith, unity, and discipline.
Despite the presence of major leaders like Nehru, Patel, and Gandhi, Quaid-e-Azam led Muslims to the creation of Pakistan. He envisioned a country where every citizen enjoys equal rights and freedom.
Quaid-e-Azam remains among the few global leaders who changed the course of history. His services to Muslims under the Two-Nation Theory remain unforgettable.
