Asslamo Allaikum,
Muhammad Ali Jinnah (RA)'s speeches of later life (1946 onwards on) have many references about the vision for Pakistan (being a Khilafah) and taking from
Qur'aan, Hadeeth and Shariat.
Moreover, also read the first words of Objectives Resolution (drafted by him but passed by Liqat Ali Khan) and this can no way come from someone with a dodgy Aqeedah and not only that someone saying this MUST have been a Sunni Muslim but also suitably advised by Sunni Scholars!
You have to admire whoever said these thing in 1946 (while the rest of Islamic was in deep chaos) and it also makes very clear about the direction he (RA) wanted Pakistan to take!
Whereas sovereignty over the entire universe belongs to Allah Almighty alone and the authority which He has delegated to the State of Pakistan, through its people for being exercised within the limits prescribed by Him is a sacred trust;
This Constituent Assembly representing the people of Pakistan resolves to frame a Constitution for the sovereign independent State of Pakistan; Wherein the State shall exercise its powers and authority through the chosen representatives of the people;
Wherein the principles of democracy, freedom, equality, tolerance and social justice as enunciated by Islam shall be fully observed
; Wherein the Muslims shall be enabled to order their lives in the individual and collective spheres in accordance with the teachings and requirements of Islam as set out in the
Holy Quran and the Sunnah
; Wherein adequate provision shall be made for the minorities to profess and practice their religions and develop their cultures; Wherein the territories now included in or in accession with Pakistan and such other territories as may hereafter be included in or accede to Pakistan shall form a Federation wherein the units will be autonomous with such boundaries and limitations on their powers and authority as may be prescribed; Wherein shall be guaranteed fundamental rights including equality of status, of opportunity and before law, social, economic and political justice, and freedom of thought, expression, belief, faith, worship and association, subject to law and public morality;
Wherein adequate provisions shall be made to safeguard the legitimate interests of minorities and backward and depressed classes
;
Wherein the independence of the Judiciary shall be fully secured
; Wherein the integrity of the territories of the Federation, its independence and all its rights including its sovereign rights on land, sea and air shall be safeguarded; So that the people of Pakistan may prosper and attain their rightful and honored place amongst the nations of the World and make their full contribution towards international peace and progress and happiness of humanity.
So what happened to this preamble to the constitution? Thats another discussion but he did lay the foundation of a Sunnah state!
