MEMORABLE WORDS OF THE QUAID

”Democracy is the blood of Musalmans, who look upon complete equality of manhood. I give you an example. Very often when I go to a Mosque, my chauffeur stands side by side with me. Musalmans believe in fraternity, equality and liberty.”

”Pakistan not only means freedom and independence but the Muslim ideology which has to be preserved, which has come to us as a precious gift and treasure and which, we hope, others will share with us.”

”Everyone, except those who are ignorant, knows that the Qur’an is the general code of the Muslims. A religious, social, civil, commercial, military, judicial, criminal, penal code ; it regulates every thing from the salvation of the soul to the health of the body; from the rights of all to those of each individual ; from morality to crime ; from punishment here to that in the life to come, and our Prophet ﷺ has enjoined us that every Musalman should possess a copy of the Qur’an and be his own priest. Therefore, Islam is not merely confined to the spiritual tenets and doctrines or rituals and ceremonies. It is a complete code regulating the whole Muslim society every department of life collective and individual.”
