Happy Birthday Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Happy Birthday sir, thank you for the miracle you pulled for us. Though most of us spent last 72 years undoing this miracle yet it stood the test of time. Because if it didn't, it would have defied the very spirit of a miracle. So its here to stay only to shame us that we failed to play our due role. But hope is the fuel of life. Good leadership besides other wonderful traits exudes hope for others. Today, should we not make an endeavor to take a leaf out of Quaid's life? 

It is terrifying to imagine, what would be it like without your leadership before partition. And after partition, we have seen what can become of a nation without credible leadership. Only if this leadership didn't have a small issue of 'integrity', we could have pulled more miracles. On the other hand, there is not a single lie anyone could associate with Muhammad Ali Jinnah. What most people miss out that he was a specimen modern Muslim. He had the knowledge of the world and times in which he lived in sync with organic knowledge of Islam. His attire was up to date and his spirit was Muslim to the core. Hence, difference of human evolution between MAJ & Mullah was that of 1400 years. Both in knowlege of deen & duniya, he outdid Mullah. 

Modern liberals have gone step ahead of religious orthodoxy. Modernity has been seriously misinterpreted by current lot. To them it is selective adaptation of current modern civilization. Not its principles but lifestyle, outlook & attitude in the wrong sense of the word seems to have become our definition of modernity. As if slavery of a century was not enough, this false sense of modernity has further confused the confused. Resultantly, kids don't have role models to follow, young don't have organic knowledge of Islam, middle age don't have clear mission statement and old age don't finally become those role models which kids needs to learn from and follow in every household. Let's take away one thing for every age from glorious life of MAJ. 

For kids his legacy is to gain knowledge of the world through education.

For young his legacy is to be the best in respective domains and rise above self. 

For middle age his legacy is to make difference in others' lives through ideology (of Islam). 

For old age his legacy is of being a leader of character and hope because every elder is a role model at least for his own family. 

May Allah keep his blessed soul in highest of places. Ameen
