repost of khanbaba's post from the other thread:

It is true that he was born Ismaili but there is enough proofs that he was on beliefs of Ahle Sunnah later on.

Hakeem ul Ummat has instructed Allamah Shabir Ahmed Usmani, Allamah Zafar Ahmed Thanvi, Mufti Shafi and others to work on the religious beliefs of Jinnah and they would regularly report to Hakeem ul Ummat. Jinnah assured them that Pakistan would be run on the rules of Khulfa e Rashidoon.

Munshi Abdul Rahman has written a book called Kardar Qaid e Azam, in there he writes that ones some asked him that there are so many scholars on his side, so on that Muhammed Ali Jinnah answered

Quote:
"There is a very great scholar with Muslim League. If his knowldge, taqwa, honor is put on one side of the scale and on the ohter side all the scholars, his scale would out-weight theirs. He is (Hakeem ul Ummah) Ashraf Ali Thanvi. His support of the Muslim League is enough. I dont care if anyone else supports us or appose us."
page 471, also page 92 of Taimeer e Pakistan.

Muhammed Ali Jinnah also personally wrote a letter to Hakeem ul Ummah Ashraf Ali Thanvi and thanked him for the support of Muslim League. Mufti Muhammed Shafi has mentioned of this letter in his work Majalis Hakeem ul Ummah, page 287.

When Pakistan was formed and on 14th of August, when it came time to raise the Pakistani flag for the first time in Karachi and Dhaka, Muhammed Ali Jinnah chose 2 great scholars. He chose Allamah Shabbir Ahmed Usmani for Karachi and Allamah Zaffar Ahmed Usmani for Dhaka.

When Muhammed Ali Jinnah took oath as the first Governer General of Pakistan, Allamah Shabbir Ahmed Usmani took oath from him.

In his last will Muhammed Ali Jinnah wrote that my funeral be read by Allamah Shabbir Ahmed Deobandi (and he read his funeral prayers). Mufti Zar Wali Khan have also mentioned this, that this is written in his last will. If he was Ismaili of Shia, Allamah would have never read his funeral.

Sardar Shaukat Hayat Khan was an old leader of Muslim League and close to Muhammed Ali Jinnah, he wrote in in Jang Newspaper on August 21, 1958 that:

"Muhammed Ali Jinnah would regularly read Quran. He read the book of Allamah Shibli Naumani called "Al-Farooq" (on the life of Hazrat Umer Farooq r.a.) and he ordered Shareef ud Deen Peerzada (still alive) to translate that book in English and told him that I want to run Pakistan like Hazrat Umer r.a. did". (An Ismaili would never have any respect for the 2nd Caliph).

Also Muslim league sent a letter to Hakeem ul Ummat in April 1943 and requested him to attend the meeting of Muslim League in New Delhi, but he could not due to illness and passed away after few months.

It wouldnt be wrong to say that if it was not for the support of Allamah Shabbir Ahmed Usmani and Zaffar Ahmed Usmani, there wouldnt have been any Pakistan. They were also the founding fathers along with Jinnah.
