Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was the undisputed leader of the Pakistani nation and he never presented himself as a Shia leader, Jamaat-e-Islami Deputy Secretary General Dr Farid Ahmed Piracha said here on Thursday.
He urged MQM leader Aftaf Hussain to at least spare the Quaid-e-Azam and not try to project him as a disputed personality.
Dr Farid Ahmed Piracha further said that the unjust killing of any human being, whether a Shia or a Sunni on ethnic grounds or for extortion was inhuman and must be condemned.
It was the enemy agenda to divide the Pakistani nation into Sunnis and Shias, he said adding that the politicians should refrain from playing the enemy game.

  1. As per bombay high court record, Mr Jinnah submitted an affidevt in 1898, that he and his family are asna ashri shias.
    This is history, and it cannot be changed,,,, He was not KAFIR E AZAM as declared by Abu alla Mudadi what Farid Piracha say about it …

  2. Jinnah evolved like every intelligent being. He is on record -around the time of liberation- of declaring that he was a Muslim first and last. He said that in response to a question inquiring which sect he belonged to. Citing his earlier records is like using Iqbal’s “Saray Jehan Sey Achha Hindustan Humara” to prove that he was really an Indian Nationalist – which he was at the time he wrote the poem.

    This is history, and it cannot be changed, but in religious matters he was a libral man.
    so it doesn,t matter if he was shia…if some elements hate shias, so what ?
    killings of shias and sunnies is in full swing. Mr Altaf Hussain only narrated history.

  13. How far are we going to sink into this quagmire? while the world is going forward–we are going baclward. Now after so many years the ethnic identity of the father of the nation is being discussed to fuel unrest. Have we nothing else to do? We are all moslems. Let us not use primitive instincts to cause bloodshed. There is enough already. An empty mind is a devil's mind. Jinnah was above these petty things . Let us keep that in mind . Period

  19. For me Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a Muslim. That's all. Allah created all of us as a Muslim and not as Shia, Sunni, Hanafi, Qadri and so on. It is us who created all these divisions in Muslims.

  23. He was not corrupt.He was not a traitor.He was not a terrorist.He Was not an exploitator. "He was a MUSLIM"

  30. Islam is the religion where there shouldn't be any shia or sunni business. I agree with Farid Paracha that our leaders should get rid of differences.

  31. Once a person asked Quaid that he was a shia or a sunni? he replied, "who was prophet Muhammad? a shia or a sunni" I think Quaid's reply was a shut-up call to all of them who are indulged in this futile discourse today.

  33. Allama Shabbir Ahmed Usmani an Ahle Sunnat Wa Jama'at scholar offered his Namaz E Janazah proving that Quaid E Azam had repented & corrected his Iman. May his soul rest in peace.

    • Qaid e azam's first namaz e janaza was held by a shia alim was his body was in his house. His body was washed ( gusl) was performed by a shia muslim.

    • Allama Anis Ul Hasnain offered the actual funeral prayers in Mohatta Palace in Karachi in a Room where there were only his family members and close friends. Its was a Shia namaz-e-Janaza. This is well known fact, Shabbir Ahmed Usmani led a public funeral prayer. Jinnah and his family were Shia, though he was not much of a practicing Muslim.

  34. Qaid was a Parsi, just before the Muslim League, he converted to Ismaili (Aga Khani), and he became sunni the moment he touched his feet in Karachi.
    This is the bitter truth.

  35. He is a great leader and hero of Muslim Comunity in islam no need any identy after
    accepcting islam muslim is muslim. I

  36. Please watch Programme 'Nuqta Nazar' Dunya TVof 23 August 2012.That should clarify many misgivings of those who wish to.

  38. Lets not divide ourselves at least on Qauide Azam. He was the one who got us United, irresp[ective of personel believes and we are trying to divide nation on such issues.He was Shia good enough or he was Sunni good enough. Please remember him as the Founder of PAKISTAN and dont revisit the history which is of no use and no purpose.All of us has to seek the mercy of Allah and if its sunni way or Shia way, doesnt matter.Any attempt which push ourselves to such discussions which are niether good for our Unity nor for our economic well being, is a great wastage of time and efforts.

    • There is no division in saying proudly that he was Shia as He himself declared this fact. Calling him Sunni is a joke and disgrace. You are wring in saying that do not revisit history. Quran is a revisitation of history and we should revisit our Islamic and Pakistan's history to make our future bright. Historical lies created by Mullahs should be fixed and we need to be open minded that Pakistan should not be a theocratic state.

  40. Once a person asked Quaid that he was a shia or a sunni? he replied, "who was prophet Muhammad? a shia or a sunni" I think Quaid's reply was a shut-up call to all of them who are indulged in this futile discourse today.

  44. shia or sunni what is the problem, the bottom line is he was the creator of pakistan, he gaveb us a seperate land to live like free man, unfortunately, our present leaders have looted pakistan and fill there pocket with money ownwed by poor pakistani, by the way benazir, zulfiqar ali bhutto and zardari are all shias, and majority of pakistani's chose him to rule Pakistan.
    please do not debate on quaid e azam.

    • There is a problem. Till we not start respecting our people's believes we can not progress. Now it's time to respect Quaid as a Shia Muslim and take steps to respect any one's believes in our localities and neighborhoods.

    • its a problem shia doo mutta sleep secret marriage many times as they want which is worser than a kafir weirdos

  45. تو اب جماعت اسلامی کے مطابق شیعہ ہونا ایک متنازعہ حیثیت رکھتا ہے

  46. as a Hindu i would like to know who created divisions among muslims. Has Allah approved the divisions. don't you see he is bleeding whenever Muslims kills muslims. open your eyes and hearts please. you have better things to do in life than worry about who is Shia and who is sunni. All are human beings.

  47. it is for these sort of discussions that we indulge in that we are hated everywhere what if he were christann.we should see him as a founder of our country.we shuold be discussing is how can we a better place for living for our citizens.

  48. Mr. Jinnah was a shia muslim and belongs to KHOJA SHIA COMUNITY and even in a membership register in community his name is written .
    SHAME ON U PARACHA YAZEDI

  49. Dr. Farid Ahmed Piracha sahib, Chale haam maante hai ke wo SHIA nai the. Par SHIA hone me konsi bhurai hai jo aap itna serious comment pass kara re hai. Kya farq parta hai agar wo SHIA the ya nahi. Aur Please Pakistantoday.com should not even post such things like that ever again, about anything that revolves heat aside to question eachother passing hateful remarks afterward…That is stupid, we are all Muslim and we all are Brothers. There is no Sunni, no Shia. All whoever pass such comments they want to spread a concept of being different…Apne bheech me se bhurai khatam karo sab theek hojaye, Insha'Allah!

  52. he was great leader no doubt, he rubbished the question about his sectarian believes I will also like to ask the so called custodians of faith, which school of thought does Mohammad S.A.S, his companions and the great Ahl e Bait belong to, why do we debate the non issues. it is his achievements which count for me and non else. Shia and Sunni differ only on interpretation of history and not on basic principals of Islam. those who are being killed in the name of faith are human being and their killers are not even called to be a human leave alone to claim as Muslims.

  53. Ik Kafira ki khatir Islam ko chora. Yeh Quaid e Azam nahi Kafir e Azam hei ( this was the statement of Devband and JI before 1947. He was a proud Shia, that's why he went to court and we all should be proud of this reality. Being founder does not mean that you strip Quaid of his religious believes. Unity does not mean to deny facts. Pakistan founder should stay undisputed for his work not for his faith.

  55. I want to ask some questions that reveal his sect.
    1: why Jinnah did praise Hazrat Umar (R.A) and said he wanted such justice system in Pakistan?
    2: Why Jinnah never attended any Majlis of Ashora according to history?
    3: Why Wife of Jinnah Ruttan bai did accept islam in the hand of Sunni Alim?
    4:Why Jinnah left Agha Khani Sect?
    5:Why was Jinnah in contacting to Famous Sunni Deobandi Scholars, Maulana Ashraf Ali thanvi and Maulana
    shabbir Ahmed Usmani?
    6: Why has Jinnah chosen Two sunni Scholar to wave Pakistan flag?
    7: Why Jinnah's will was the funeral prayer should be led by Sunni Aalim Maulana Shabbir Ahmed Usmani?
    8: Why was Jinnah interested in Caliphate System like Umar (R.A)?
    9:Why was Jinnah offering prayer with Sunnis?

    • WHY YOU FORGET DURING UMAR CALIPH PERIOD HAZRAT ALI (AS) CONTROL COURT OF LAW AND SHARIA SO THAT THE REASON SYSTEM GOES BETTER. OTHERWISE HAZRAT UMAR SAYS " I WILL DIE IF ALI IS NOT EXIST" SO PLEASE UNDERSTAND COUNTRY SETUP ALWAYS RUN ON YOUR ADMINISTRATION AND ADMINISTRATION"S BASIC IS YOUR COURT. HAZRAT ALI (AS) HANDLE COURT IN 3 CALIPHS PERIOD. SO THAT IS MAJOR REASON FOR SUCCESS. OTHERWISE THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO RUN A GOOD GOVERNANCE.

  56. Who care if Jinnah was Sunni or Shia or Ismaeli?
    He was a great leader of all Muslims. In Islam there is no Shia, Sunni or anybody else. Islam is a simple religion it require belief in Allaha and Mohammad PBU to be his last prophet and the rest is a personal journey of a human being.
    I agree with JI and FP in Islam there is no sect period. I admire jamaat also. In addition Jinnah represented every Pakistan Muslim or not.

  57. Quaid-e-Azam was a Great Shia and Political Leader. Pakistan Major Public not agreed with this (Quaid-e-Azam was Shia). But If You Say GOD IN NOT (NAUZU BILLAH) SO WHAT IT IS EXACT NOT EXACT. SO THAT YOU AGREE OR NOT QUAID-E-AZAM WAS A SHIA AND SHIA IS ORIGINAL MUSLIMS NOTHING ELSE IF YOU READ QURAN AND OTHER AHADEES BOOK SO PROVED IT. SHIA IS REAL MUSLIMS. YOU ARE GO TO TALIBAN (SHETAN) FOLLOWERS AND MOULANA ANEES UL HASSAN RIZVI RECITE THE 1ST NAMAZ-E-JANAZA OF QUAID-E-AZAM AS SHIA RULES. AFTER THAT ALLAMA TAQI USMANI

  58. ALLAM SHABBIR USMANI IS 2ND MAN WHO PERFORM THE NAMAZ-E-JANAZA OF QUAID-E-AZAM. 1ST NAMAZ-E-JANAZA WAS PERFORMED BY ALLAMA ANEES UL HASSAN RIZVI IN GOVERNOR HOUSE KARACHI. IF YOU ARE AGAINST SHIA SO THATS NOT MEAN YOU DONT AGREE QUAID-E-AZAM WAS SHIA

  59. Altaf and MQM are just like skinhead, white aryan, Klu Klix Klan and name racist party in world. You cannot expect any good from them. They can arise such question that twist the whole nation just Messod is Shaheed or not while they call their murdered gangster "Shaheed" as these gangsters were fighting for Islam. What ar bigg joke.

    The waging western and secular Jehad political Mahajar in the U.K.

  61. Aslkm,quaide azam was a shiite muslim,check his funeral prayer,you ll see a photo of alam,2 funeral prayers were held at his time of death,one was held in kharadar and the ghusal was given by HAJI QALOO who lived in kharadar,you ll find some pictures of his funeral prayers in KHARADAR IMAM BARGAH.

  62. Quaid e Azam was belonged to Ismaili Shia Muslim belonging to Khoja ethnic cast living in Gujrat. After becomming a popular political Muslim Leader he did not disclose his sect which was the irrelevant to a great leader of such a repute. His Nikah was recited by a Shia cleric but it does'nt mean he was a twelver Shia. At that time The Ismaili Khojas did all the rituals like Nikah or Nimaz e Janaza according to Shia Ithnashari traditions and some times according to Sunni traditions where they lived. The Ismailies had no separate cemetery, Eid Gah or mosques as they had only community centers called Jamat Khana where they assembled to offer prayers what was taught to them by the Ismaili Missionaries to convert them to Islam. The situation needs to be understand with out any prejudice. The Ismailis having an Islamic back ground living in other parts of Pakistan do not own the general practices performed by Khoja Ismailis even today. The statement of late M H Isphahani a close associate of Quaid also ratifies that the later was an Ismail Muslim who never affiliated to himself publicly to any sect of Muslims. It is a historical fact to be accepted by all.
