Pakistan is observing the 77th death anniversary of its founder, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, today with deep respect and honour. People across the country have renewed their pledge to follow his guiding principles of “unity, faith, and discipline.” The day is being marked by various ceremonies and gatherings that highlight his vision for a strong and united Pakistan.
Quran Khawani is being held at Quaid’s mausoleum in Karachi, where special prayers are being offered for the departed soul. Mosques across Pakistan are also conducting prayers, reflecting the nation’s reverence for its founding father. Government officials, political leaders, and citizens from different walks of life are expected to visit the mausoleum to pay their respects throughout the day.
Quaid-e-Azam served as the leader of the All-India Muslim League from 1913 until Pakistan’s creation on August 14, 1947. He passed away on September 11, 1948, only months after securing independence for the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent. His tireless struggle and unwavering leadership remain a source of inspiration for generations.
In addition, several public and private organisations, along with educational institutions, are holding events to honour Jinnah’s legacy. These functions aim to highlight different aspects of his life, particularly his efforts to unite the Muslims of South Asia under a single cause. Participants are emphasizing the importance of following his ideals to overcome present-day challenges.
Media outlets are airing special programmes to pay homage to Quaid-e-Azam, including excerpts from his historic speeches. These broadcasts serve as a reminder of his dedication to justice, equality, and national unity. The commemorations underline the continuing relevance of Jinnah’s vision for Pakistan’s future and its role on the world stage.
