Khilafah in Pakistan - Dr. Israr Ahmad

PAKISTAN’S FOUNDATION AND ITS OBJECTIVE It is an undeniable historical fact that India was partitioned on the basis of two-nation theory and Pakistan was established on the basis of Muslim nationhood and in the name of Islam. Indeed, Allama Iqbal – the visualizer and ideologue of Pakistan – in his address at Allahabad in 1930 had visualized the establishment of a separate state for Muslims consisting of the North-Western area of the Indian Subcontinent with the main objective that Muslims of India, by removing the curtain that had screened Islam’s magnificent system of social justice and equity during the long period of monarchy in Muslim lands, get an opportunity to reestablish the original Islamic system of political, economic and social justice which the most important manifestation of the Holy Prophet’s (SAW) universal mercy and blessing. In so doing, they would provide a lighthouse of guidance and peace for the whole mankind. Similarly Quaid-i- Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah – the founder and architect of Pakistan – also demanded a separate homeland for Indian Muslims, so that they could present before the contemporary world a concrete demonstration of Islamic principles of human freedom, fraternity and equality.
