MY FAVOURIT
PERSONALITY / LEADER
OR
MY HERO IN
HISTORY
OR
QUAID – E – AZAM MUHAMMAD ALI JINNAH
“Personality
begins where comparison leaves off. Be unique. Be memorable. Be confident. Be
proud.” (Shannon L. Alder)
A great man is one who serves humanity heart
and soul. But no man is great who is great only in his life time. The test of
greatness is the page of history. History is replete (لبریز) with the noble deeds (اعمال) of men whose sole (واحد) and sacred (مقدس) aim of
life was to help and guide their fellow men. We read and recall, commemorate
and commend (ذ کر اذ کار کرنا) the
names of great scientists, artists, philosophers, politicians and poets whose
tireless and selfless efforts brought comfort and peace to the suffering
humanity. They die but their death makes them immortal because they live in our
hearts. Muhammad Ali Jinnah is one of those figures, and hence, my favourite
personality/hero in history.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah is truly called
the Quaid-e-Azam because he had all the qualities of a great political leader.
Although he was weak and lean, yet he was strong enough to face all the
difficulties. This was the most prominent (نمایاں) quality of his character. With this quality, he was able to
achieve the impossible – the creation of Pakistan.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah was born in
Karachi on 25th December, 1876. His father was a businessman. He received his
primary education in Karachi and Bombay. He passed his Matriculation
Examination from the Mission High school Bombay. He went to England to study
law. On his return, he started law practice first in Karachi and then in
Bombay.
Both the Muslims and the Hindus
wanted India free from the English rule. He joined National Congress to work
for that cause. At first he believed that the Muslims and the Hindus could live
together after the departure of the English. But his later experience showed
that the Muslims could not live in peace and harmony (ہم آہنگی) under the domination (تسلط) of the Hindus. He decided to fight for a separate country for
the Muslims.
“If you want to
discover the true character of a person, you have only to observe what they are
passionate about.”
But the Hindus did not want India to
be divided. Besides, there were some Muslims who also did not want to divide
India. He had to be very vigilant (چوکس) to counter attack all the conspiracies (سازشوں) of the Hindus and the English. Then he had to fight his failing
health. In spite of his doctor’s advice he did not take rest to fight his
disease. He used to say that he could not take rest when the Muslims needed
him. So, he did not take rest and with every passing day his condition became
worse (بدتر). His lean (دبلی پتلی) body and bony (کمزور) face were showing that, but the big warm smile on his face
deceived) فریب) the people. He was so much true to his
cause that he did not let anybody know what was going on inside his body.
At that difficult time, he showed how
strong and wise he was. To get a separate country for the Muslims was such a
big task that it could break any man, but not the Quaid-e-Azam. With his
untiring efforts, he succeeded in getting a separate homeland for the Muslims.
His ill health did not allow him to
enjoy the fruit of his struggle much longer and he died on September 11, 1948.
But he left behind his legacy of work, work and work for the people of
Pakistan. May Allah rest his soul in peace and let the people of Pakistan act
upon this legacy of work, work and work.
The End
