Assalaamualaikum wa rahmatullah

Alhamdulillah that was good summing up of the discussion. Quite true and worth pondering over that someone's Jazana namaz be offered by Shaykh ul Islam Maulana Shaabir Ahmad Usmani rah. MashaAllah. I was recently listening to a rare interview of Mufti Shafi rah and He had many kind words to say about Shaykh ul Islam. Having read the thread it certainly makes me feel that whatever Muhammad Ali Jinnahs intentions were, they certainly dont seem negative after looking at the draft constitution. Wallahu Alam.

So brother, i see its 3 years since someone asked you if you were going to write something on the topic. HAs that happened?

jazakallah

Asslamo Allaikum,

Insha’Allah someday when I am bored

As far as Muhammad Ali Jinnah (RA) is concerned then he was a man and he has passed away and we should leave the judgement to Allah (SWT). IF his Aqeedah was good enough for Shaykhul-Islam Maulana Shabbir Ahmed Usmani (RA) to lead Janaza Salah over and others to attend then his Aqeedah is good enough for me and I leave the rest to Allah (SWT).

We should avoid extremism in all aspects of life.

As far as Muhammad Ali Jinnah (RA) is concerned then people were/are genuinely split and Deobandees were/are genuinely split (over Congress & Muslim League) and what the laymen should do about these differences of opinion are discussed in great detail in the following book:

Al-Itedaal Fi Maratibur-Rijaal (Islamic Politics)

Those were genuine differences based on the well being of the Ummah, now people have differences based on passion/emotion:

1) Pakistani Muslims will mostly love Muhammad Ali Jinnah (RA) to death

2) Indians (Muslims and more so Non-Muslims) will either dislike Muhammad Ali Jinnah (RA) or try to highlight and over-emphasise his Indian ancestry and heritage

3) Bangalees (Muslims & some Non-Muslims) will highlight the contribution of Bangalees in the Pakistan movement and Muhammad Ali Jinnah (RA)’s Bangali companions and their contribution to the idea of Pakistan

What’s more important to “learn” is the sort of Pakistan all parties (Muhammad Ali Jinnah (RA), Dr Muhammad Iqbal (RA), Bangalees companions and supporters of Pakistan movement, Deobandees and all other Muslims of the subcontinent) wanted and you will find that the difference of opinion is either small or non-existent.

That Pakistan (which they wanted) is vastly different to Pakistan of today!
