Introduction

Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad All Jinnah was a great leader. The cherished dream of a separate homeland for the Muslims of the Indo-Pak sub-continent was fulfilled under his inspiring leadership. He worked extraordinarily hard for the cause of the Muslims and the reward of the continued struggle came in the form of the creation of Pakistan on August 14, 1947.

Quaid-e-Azam and his team of dedicated workers had given enormous sacrifices for achieving their cherished goal. Pakistan had not come into being by mere chance or fluke. It had needed sacrifices of all sorts from the Muslims who stood firm and united under the dynamic leadership of Quaid-e-Azam.

Unfortunately, however, we have not been able to serve the country with the same spirit with which it had come into being. We have not been able to do full justice to our nation yet. Still there's time for the wakeup call. We can still make the difference by having the same spirit with which the country was created.
