On the auspicious occasion of the birthday anniversary of Quaid-E-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, it is imperative that we recall and cherish his profound affection for the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
Hector Bolitho, a celebrated author and historian hailing from New Zealand, undertook the noble task of penning the biography of Quaid-E-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah. In his magnum opus titled “Jinnah, Creator Of Pakistan,” Bolitho eloquently delved into Jinnah’s unwavering love for the revered Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
In the historical year of 1947, during a momentous address to the distinguished members of the Karachi Bar Council, Quaid-E-Azam revealed a captivating anecdote that unveiled the profound influence of the Holy Prophet on his life. He disclosed the motive behind his decision to join Lincoln’s Inn in England, a choice that would eventually shape his destiny and the destiny of a nation.
Indeed, Quaid-E-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah found in the illustrious figure of the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, not only a spiritual guide but also an exemplar of remarkable statesmanship and sovereign authority. This admiration for the Prophet ﷺ served as a guiding light that steered him towards greatness.
A testament to the depths of his devotion, Jinnah’s affection for the Holy Prophet ﷺ was manifest when he deliberately selected Lincoln’s Inn as his educational institution. This distinguished establishment bore a singular tribute to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, as His name was revered and inscribed alongside the world’s other eminent law-givers. Jinnah, with a heart filled with reverence, articulated this profound connection during his address to the esteemed Karachi Bar Council.
On this momentous occasion, let us remember and emulate the cherished bond that Quaid-E-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah held with the Holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, as it stands as an exemplar of devotion and inspiration for generations to come. May the legacy of this visionary leader continue to shine brightly and guide us on the path of wisdom and righteousness.
