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”

lesson of 1300 years ago that we are not Sindhi, Balochi or Pathan but we are Muslims
and only Muslims”

14. Ideology of Pakistan
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.’’
No need of any “ISM“except Islam
In March 1944, while addressing the students, Quaid said,
“Islam is our guide and a complete code of life. We neither need any red or yellow flag
nor we need any socialism, communism, Nationalism or any other ism”

Islamic ideologies of social justice can completely bloom”

that Hindus differed from the Muslims in all matters and habits. He further
elaborated his argument by writing that the Hindus considered Muslims
"Mlachha", or impure. And they forbid having any connection with them, be it
intermarriage or any other bond of relationship. They even avoid sitting, eating
and drinking with them, because they feel "polluted".

16. Ideology of Pakistan
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.
