Muhammad Ali Jinnah was born on December 25, 1876, in Karachi, then part of British India. His father, Jinnahbhai Poonja, was a successful merchant, and Jinnah received a Western-style education at the Sindh-Madrasa-tul-Islam in Karachi and later at the Christian Missionary Society High School in Bombay.

After completing his education, Jinnah joined Lincoln's Inn in London to study law. He qualified as a barrister in 1896 and returned to India to start his legal practice. Jinnah soon became one of the most successful lawyers in Bombay, and he was known for his brilliant courtroom performances and his commitment to justice.

Jinnah was one of the most influential leaders of the All India Muslim League, a political party that was founded in 1906 to represent the interests of Muslims in India. He became the president of the League in 1916 and worked tirelessly to promote the idea of a separate Muslim homeland in India. Jinnah's efforts were eventually successful, and the British government agreed to the creation of Pakistan in 1947.

Jinnah's political career began in 1906 when he joined the All India Muslim League, a political party that represented the interests of Muslims in India. Jinnah quickly rose through the ranks of the party, and he became the president of the League in 1916. Jinnah's leadership and advocacy of Muslim rights earned him the nickname "Quaid-e-Azam," or "Great Leader."

Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Jinnah campaigned tirelessly for the rights of Muslims in India. He advocated for greater political representation for Muslims and for the creation of a separate Muslim state in India. Jinnah's efforts eventually paid off when the British government agreed to the creation of Pakistan in 1947.

Jinnah became the first governor-general of Pakistan when the country was established, but his health began to decline soon after. He died on September 11, 1948, just over a year after Pakistan was created.


Today, Jinnah is revered as the founder of Pakistan and is remembered for his tireless efforts to secure the rights of Muslims in India. He is also known for his commitment to secularism and for his vision of a democratic and inclusive Pakistan that respected the rights of all its citizens.
