Prophet Muhammad

Definitely it was only Quid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah who founded Pakistan against the strong wishes of Hindu Leaders with the Likes of Gandhi, Nehru etc, who wished for Akhand Bharat (The United India) and the Britain govt who was baised towards the Hindus and wanted to give complete rule to Hindus and last but not least some short sighted Muslim leaders (mostly Religious ). Against these 3 main forces Jinnah fought heroicly and Carved Pakistan. He , in a western historian's words, became the only and unique leader who created the satate, nation and society at the same time.

The British haven't been called 'Britons' since the Romans left Britain around 500 AD To answer your question, the whole area we now call India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the disputed Kashmir region was, under British rule called India. When independence was granted in 1948 it was decided that separate states should be set up on religious lines to stop the constant waring between Muslim and Hindu. It was decided that East and West Pakistan would be Muslim states in their own right while the India we know today would be largely Hindu. East and West Pakistan fought and became Bangladesh and Pakistan. Pakistan now claims Kashmir as a part of the Muslim state and the area has been hotly disputed for many years. One word answer: Britain

Yes! Obviously Muhammad Ali Jinnah is the real founder of Pakistan. He was the only great leader at that time which fought with two big enemies Britain and Hindus, with truth, loyalty and devotion. Hindus did not want the country to be divided and 'Britons' were their friends. Muhammad Ali Jinnah was the one who take this Great Country Pakistan from their jaws and make this dream of Muslims come true.

Why, of course, Jinnah was the founder of Pakistan. It is a pity that someone asks this question. Jinnah can not be replaced by someone else. Jinnah has to be credited for the making of Pakistan. And it was not only Jinnah. There were many other freedom fighters including Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Fatima Jinnah, Allama Mohammad Iqbal etc. Surely, we have to salute to them all for creating such a lovely homeland for us, Pakistan. It's culture, ceremonies and rituals, all reflect upon the personality and works of our Quaid-e-Azam. Surly, all the Shaheeds awarded Nishan-e Haider and Nishan-e-Imtiaz made Pakistan be safe from enemies. In this case, no offense meant, but Indians. This is completely wrong if people think that the British created Pakistan. How can we forget that the British Lord Monutbatten was Jinnah's biggest rival?

according to history

It is a long history lesson so i will break it down in points and you can research further if you want.

1. Jinnah was initially against the creation of Pakistan.
2. He changed his mind after the betrayal of Hindu congress party.
3. He was invited by the Allama iqbal (widely accepted as the founder of idea of paksitan) to lead the Muslim league. Muslim league was the only political representative of Muslims in India.
4. Name Pakistan was suggested by Rahmat Ali.

So you see that Jinnah was a political leader, brought in by philosophical leader and supported by other leaders. The thing to remember is the fact that al those people who were supporting Jinnah were running the Muslim political front before Jinnah. Without Jinnah, paksitan would have taken decades to be founded, but it would have come into existence. But without Iqbal there would have been no idea of Pakistan.

So its really your pick. Personally I think its the idea that counts, who builds it, really doesnt matter.

The according to History is the balanced and impartial answer. Pakistan is not a 'chair.\, a table or a bridge' that can be made by one person. Pakistan is a country that was created by Almighty Allah according to His own scheme. Millions of Muslims worked for it. Hero worship is against the teachings of Islam.

Islam was spread far and wide mainly because of:

• Trade that reached the Far East including China, Indonesia, the Philippines, and many other countries
• the authenticity of Islam religion, its simplicity and logics
• the authenticity of Quran
• the good morals as extracted from Quran
• Prophet Muhammad as a good model in all aspects of life.
• refer to related questions below.
