Annual meeting of Muslim league on December 29, 1930 at

Allahabad, he said:

“Islam is not the name some beliefs and customs

but it is a complete code of life. In, Europe,

religion is very one’s personal matter which

divides the human oneness into two opposite

parts i.e. body and soul. In contrast to that in

Islam, God, Universe, soul, matter, state and

religious places are bound to each other or in

other words Muslims are one nation.”

Islam is a lively power

In his Allahabad address:

“Islam is a lively power which frees human mind

from country and race’s thoughts. If we

understand this thing then we can be the leaders

of prominent Indian civilization”

Islam is the way to success

“The lesson which I learnt from history is that

Islam always helped the Muslims at the time of

difficulty but Muslims did not save Islam. Even

today, Ideology of Islam can save you being from

destruction by uniting you divided powers”

Demand for separate Muslim Homeland

“I desire that by joining Punjab, Sindh,

Balochistan, N.W.F.P, a separate state should be

made which is under the British rule or outside

the British rule. This is necessary because in

North West, a separate Muslim State has

become the fate of Muslims. I demand for the

benefit of Islam and of the subcontinent, a

strong Islamic state is created”

Formation of Islamic democracy

Said on August 14, 1947 at a press conference:

“In reality we had learnt democracy 1300

years ago. So when you talk about democracy,

I doubt that you have not studied Islam”

Difference between Islam & Hinduism

“Islam & Hinduism are not only two religions but they are also two different social systems. These two nations are related to two different civilizations that base on such thoughts which are cons to each other. These ideologies are different to each other. Hindus and Muslims cannot create a common nationhood. So Muslims are in need of a separate homeland where they can spend their lives socially, economically and politically according to their faith.”

Need of testing the Islamic Education

Addressing to the students of Islamic College

of Peshawar on January 13, 1948, said,

“We demanded Pakistan not for a piece of

land but we wanted such a laboratory where

Islamic principles could be tested”

Quaid stated….

• That Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religious philosophies, with different social customs and literature.

• They neither intermarry, nor eat together, and indeed belong to two different civilizations whose very foundations are based on conflicting ideas and concepts.

• Their outlook on life and of life is different.

• In spite of the passage of about 1,000 years the relations between the Hindus and Muslims could not attain the level of cordiality.

• The only difference between the writing of Al-Biruni and the speech of Quaid-i-Azam was that Al-Biruni made calculated predictions, while Quaid-i-Azam had history behind him to support his argument.

INTRODUCTION

Hindus considered it a deliberate action to

harm their interests.

partition.

Muslims considered this agitation against

their own interest and realized that Hindus

do not want to see their prosperity.

In 1906, debate started in Britain about

constitutional reforms in India.

Muslim Leaders decided to make an immediate

move for protection of the rights of Muslims in

new Constitution.

A Muslim Deputation consisting of 36 members

met Lord Minto in Simla in October 1906 in this

regard.

Separate electorates were demanded.

Viceroy assured the delegation about their

political rights in new Constitution.

Muslims thought about to have

their own political Organization

to struggle for their Rights.

In November 1906, Nawab

Saleemullah of Dhaka sent a

circular proposing the

establishment of a Political

Party.

Dignitaries were asked to prepare and

discuss it in the Annual Session of

Mohammadan Educational Conference.

attended by some 3000 delegates.

unanimously opted about the establishment

of a Political Party.
