The Visionary of a Nation: The Story of Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Story
My name is Muhammad Ali Jinnah, though the world often remembers me with reverence as Quaid-e-Azam — “The Great Leader.”
I was born on December 25, 1876, in Karachi, a city that would one day become the heart of the nation I dreamt into existence. My father, Jinnah Poonja, was a merchant by profession — disciplined, honest, and deeply devoted to his work. My mother, Mithibai, was a gentle, loving woman who instilled in me the values of integrity and respect from a very young age.
