Was Quaid E Azam Secular?

Cultural and common policy between the two countries supporters of secular Pakistan exchanges increased their propaganda, have directed their efforts and created some forums Share this idea. All those who subscribe to the secular vision are bending backwards to prove that secular Quaid. They base their arguments on August 11, 1947 speech of Quaid that he gave to the first Constituent Assembly of Pakistan.

 

Referring to the speech in support of his thesis, but are guilty of misinterpreting this. According to their perception and perhaps depending on the agenda given to them, they do not cite any other speech and are therefore more guilty of omission and commission. Unfortunately, since its creation, Pakistan faces a particular cultural invasion of its neighbor to the east and the invasion probably influenced some people and a growing sense that the nation's commitment to its Islamic ideals established by our elders it is diluted with our erosion of ideology.

The factual situation is that the Quaid had often clearly and without equivocation said that Pakistan would be an Islamic democratic state and Islam is the ideology of Pakistan. He meant what he said and said what he meant and was equivocal.

First, we all know he never said he was secular. Islam was in his blood as it is in the blood of all Pakistanis. However, he was conscious and the true spirit of Islam. Was appealed and Allama Muhammad Iqbal persuasion, he lost his career as a lawyer of great success in England and returned to lead the Muslims and the Muslim League.

Consider that Allama Iqbal is regarded by all Pakistanis as a great son of Islam who really understands the dilemmas for the Muslim community, and it was a firm believer in Islam. For some, it was a great mystic, visionary and philosopher, and Ashiqu-e-Rasool (SAW). The Quaid was secular, would not have met the call of Iqbal, the deeper the idea of Pakistan.

In addition, there was the lay state Quaid, would not have obtained the support of Shabbir Ahmad Usmani ulema that (who led the funeral prayer Quaid), Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi, shrines heads and Muslim personalities like Pir Manki Sharif. In addition, all Muslim leaders, the nationalist exception called ulama have given full support Quaid Pakistan Movement.

The best way to judge whether the founder of Pakistan was a secular or not, is to have a close look at some of his speeches and statements several times and analyze objectively. We must also take into account their views on various issues like Palestine Muslim world and its relations statements of policy with other Muslim countries such as Egypt, Turkey and others.

Speaking on the occasion of the birthday of the Holy Prophet in Karachi Bar Association January 25, 1948, Quaid said, "The Prophet of Islam (PBUH) was a great teacher. He was a great legislator. He was a great state and was a great leader who ruled. life of the Prophet (PBUH) was simple, with time. he succeeded in everything he has done since a business man as a leader. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was the greatest man the world has ever seen.Thirteen one hundred years laid the foundations of democracy "did. In another, addresses, civil and military officials of the Navy and the Force Khaliqdina room air in Karachi October 11, 1947 occasion, said. "it is my belief that our salvation is to follow the golden rules of common line for us by our great lawgiver, the Prophet of Islam that foundations of our democracy on the basis of true Islamic ideals and principles. "

In his closing speech at the meeting of the All India Muslim League, Karachi December 26, 1943, Quaid said, "What keeps the Muslims united as one man, and that is the basis and leaf anchor of the community. is Islam. it's great book, the Koran, which is the anchor of Muslim India. I'm sure we're moving forward will be more and more unity, one God, a book, a prophet and a nation. "

In the message to Muslims in September 1945 said: "Every Mussalman knows that the commandments of the Qur'an are not limited to the religious and moral rights From the Atlantic to the Ganges, says Gibbon, the Quran is recognized as the core code. not only theology but of civil and criminal law, and the laws that govern their work and property of mankind, are governed by the sanctions immutable will of God. "Everyone except those who are ignorant, knows the Quran is the general code of the Muslims. "

Addressing the Karachi Municipal Corporation August 25, 1947, Quaid said, "It must be our goal to not only eliminate the need and fear of all types, but also to guarantee freedom, fraternity and equality as has commanded us by Islam. "

In a press conference on October 11, 1947 in Karachi Quaid said: "The creation of Pakistan for which we are fighting for the last ten years is by the grace of God, a fact today, but creating a condition of our time does not mean an end in itself.

The idea is that we have a state in which we live and breathe as free men and which we could develop according to our own lights and culture and the principles of Islamic social justice could find free play. "On one occasion, when a Muslim holding a copy of the Holy Qur'an asked what laws govern Pakistan Quaid said the Holy Quran (in the hands of the issue) and said that the laws were given in the book in his hands.
