Muhammad Ali Jinnah born on 25 of December, 1876 in Karachi and died on 11 September, 1948 was a Muslim Politician and Great leader of the All India Muslim League. He founded the Pakistan and served as its first Governor-General. He is also know in Pakistan as Quaid-e-Azam (Great Leader) and and Baba-e-Qaum (Father of the Nation). Jinnah birthday is a national holiday in Pakistan.
He studied in Bombay and London, was called to the bar in 1897, and practised in Bombay. He became a member of the Indian National Congress (1906) and the Muslim League (1913), and supported Hindu–Muslim unity until 1930, when he resigned from the Congress in opposition to Gandhi’s policy of civil disobedience. His advocacy of a separate state for Muslims led to the creation of Pakistan in 1947, and he became its first governor-general.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah died on September 11, 1948 from a combination of tuberculosis and lung cancer. His funeral was followed by the construction of a massive mausoleum—Mazar-e-Quaid—in Karachi to honour him; official and military ceremonies are hosted there on special occasions.
