Religion and politics Political Struggle Allahabad address Against territorial nationalism Federal system of government

Allama Iqbal never used the word Pakistan in his speeches but in all his speeches he demanded separate homeland for the Muslims of the subcontinent. His sayings are considered as the ideology of Pakistan

Annual meeting of Muslim league on December 29, 1930 at Allahabad, he said: “Islam is not the name some beliefs and customs but it is a complete code of life. In, Europe, religion is very one’s personal matter which divides the human oneness into two opposite parts i.e. body and soul. In contrast to that in Islam, God, Universe, soul, matter, state and religious places are bound to each other or in other words Muslims are one nation.”

Islam is a lively power In his Allahabad address: “Islam is a lively power which frees human mind from country and race’s thoughts. If we understand this thing then we can be the leaders of prominent Indian civilization” Islam is the way to success “The lesson which I learnt from history is that Islam always helped the Muslims at the time of difficulty but Muslims did not save Islam. Even today, Ideology of Islam can save you being from destruction by uniting you divided powers”

Demand for separate Muslim Homeland “I desire that by joining Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, N.W.F.P, a separate state should be made which is under the British rule or outside the British rule. This is necessary because in North West, a separate Muslim State has become the fate of Muslims. I demand for the benefit of Islam and of the subcontinent, a strong Islamic state is created”

Post Khilafat,he rose as a muslim leader he stayed in England Formation of Islamic democracy Said on August 14, 1947 at a press conference: “In reality we had learnt democracy 1300 years ago. So when you talk about democracy, I doubt that you have not studied Islam”

Difference between Islam & Hinduism “Islam & Hinduism are not only two religions but they are also two different social systems. These two nations are related to two different civilizations that base on such thoughts which are cons to each other. These ideologies are different to each other. Hindus and Muslims cannot create a common nationhood. So Muslims are in need of a separate homeland where they can spend their lives socially, economically and politically according to their faith.”

Need of testing the Islamic Education Addressing to the students of Islamic College of Peshawar on January 13, 1948, said, “We demanded Pakistan not for a piece of land but we wanted such a laboratory where Islamic principles could be tested”

Quaid stated…. That Hindus and Muslims belong to two different religious philosophies, with different social customs and literature. They neither intermarry, nor eat together, and indeed belong to two different civilizations whose very foundations are based on conflicting ideas and concepts.

Their outlook on life and of life is different. In spite of the passage of about 1,000 years the relations between the Hindus and Muslims could not attain the level of cordiality. The only difference between the writing of Al- Biruni and the speech of Quaid-i-Azam was that Al-Biruni made calculated predictions, while Quaid-i-Azam had history behind him to support his argument.

INTRODUCTION A founder Political Party of Pakistan. Purely having Islamic ideological basis. Founded to protect rights of Muslims in British India.

BACKGROUND Bengal was divided into two parts in 1905 due to some administrative reasons. Muslims were beneficiaries of this partition as they were in majority in East Province. Hindus considered it a deliberate action to harm their interests.

They agitated and demanded annulment of partition. Muslims considered this agitation against their own interest and realized that Hindus do not want to see their prosperity. In 1906, debate started in Britain about constitutional reforms in India.

Muslim Leaders decided to make an immediate move for protection of the rights of Muslims in new Constitution. A Muslim Deputation consisting of 36 members met Lord Minto in Simla in October 1906 in this regard. Separate electorates were demanded. Viceroy assured the delegation about their political rights in new Constitution.

Muslims thought about to have their own political Organization to struggle for their Rights. In November 1906, Nawab Saleemullah of Dhaka sent a circular proposing the establishment of a Political Party.

Dignitaries were asked to prepare and discuss it in the Annual Session of Mohammadan Educational Conference. Session was held in last week of December attended by some 3000 delegates. On 30 December, 1906, resolution was unanimously opted about the establishment of a Political Party.

Sir Agha Khan was elected as President Head Quarters in Lucknow Six Vice-Presidents, a secretary and two joint Secretaries for a term of three years. Initial membership was 400 in fixed proportion of the provinces.

Three Objectives:- To promote a sense of loyalty to the British Government among the Muslims. To look after their Political Rights and interests and to represent to the government from time to time, their needs and aspirations. To cultivate better understanding between Muslims and other Communities.

Constitution of the League known as “Green Book” was written by Moulana Muhammad Ali Johar,a renowned Scholar and a vocal Journalist.

Syed Ameer Ali established a branch in London in 1908, supporting the same objectives.
