Keywords:
Quaid-i-Azam, Muslim Identity, Freedom Struggle, Independence Movement, Ideological StateAbstract
Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah had a peculiar resort to underscore the distinct nature of Muslim identity, individuality, distinctiveness, character or the Muslim self during the freedom struggle of Muslim of the Indian Subcontinent. He strived for the achievement of political rights of the Muslims in his entire political career, particularly after 1913 when he joined the All India Muslim League. In deed each of his statement and speech shows his deep understanding of Islam. Due to his prolific character, courage and leadership, Quaid-i-Azam not only established the Muslim of Subcontinent as a separate nation but also won them as an independent Islamic state. That is why the life anecdote of Quaid-i-Azam is not merely the story of an individual but the renascence of Muslamanan-i-Barr-e-Sagheer (Muslims of the Subcontinent), who rose as a nation for consolidation of an ideological Muslim state
