• W137386430 abstract "he wrote to Muhammed Ali Jinnah: “The enforcement and development of the Shariat of Islam is impossible in this country without a free Muslim state or states.” On 21 st June he wrote: “Why should not the Muslims of North West India and Bengal be considered as nations entitled to self-determination?” Iqbal provided the inspiration for Pakistan, Jinnah became the architect. Jinnah had worked all of his life for an independent India, but in 1940 he became convinced that in such a country Muslims would not receive due place, and so, reversing the policies of a lifetime, he proceeded to work for the creation of Pakistan. The greatest concentrations of Muslims were in what are now Pakistan and Bangladesh. Jinnah was opposed to the division of the Punjab and Bengal when Pakistan’s boundaries were drawn. He said “Better a motheaten Pakistan than no Pakistan at all.” In the providence of God, the newly created Muslim state contained over half a million Christians, who lived mainly in West Pakistan. They were the largest minority in the West. In East Pakistan millions of Hindus formed the largest minority and Christians numbered at that time about one hundred thousand. The flag of Pakistan was chosen by Muhammed Ali Jinnah who became the first Governor-General, and by Liaqat Ali Khan who became the first Prime Minister. The green section of the flag represents the majority community ‐ the Muslims. The crescent and star are symbols of the Islamic faith. The white part of the flag represents the minority communities ‐ Hindus, Christians, Buddhists and others. In a speech to the Senate of the United States of America on 4 th May 1950, Liaqat Ali Khan declared “We have solemnly pledged that our minorities shall enjoy full rights of citizenship and shall freely profess and practise their religions and develop their culture . . .” Jinnah told the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan at its first meeting: “You are free, you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other places of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion, caste or creed ‐ that has nothing to do with the fundamental principle that we are all citizens of one State . . . Now I think we should keep that in front of us as our ideal, and you will find out in course of time, Hindus would cease to be Hindus, and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual, but in the political sense, as citizens of the State.” As we think of the reconstruction of Islam in our time we need to pay attention, not only to Saudi Arabia, the religious centre of Islam, and to Egypt, the intellectual centre, but also to Pakistan which is its most significant political expression in the modern world.
