A bit of a reminder, Pakistan was never made in the "Name of Islam". The slogan "Pakistan ka matlab kya, La illaha illalah" was coined by young political activists just to go around shouting about in streets. It rhymed, it was catchy.
Other than that, Pakistan was established for the minorities of India to escape the zeal and oppression of the tyrannical Hindu majority of India. This is evident from Jinnah's inaugural address to all of Pakistan. How it turned out, is a different debate, the Pakistani theocratic laws, the change in its name... are all things that happened afterwards, but lets not change history to suit one's version. Pakistan was meant to be secular.
Come forward as servants of Islam, organise the people economically, socially, educationally and politically and I am sure that you will be a power that will be accepted by everybody.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Pakistan not only means freedom and independence but the
Muslim Ideology which has to be preserved, which has come to us as a precious gift and treasure and which, we hope other will share with us.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Islam expect every Muslim to do this duty, and if we realise our responsibility time will come soon when we shall justify ourselves worthy of a glorious past.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
We should have a State in which we could live and breathe as free men and which we could develop according to our own lights and culture and where principles of
Islamic social justice could find free play.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
You have to stand guard over the development and maintenance of
Islamic democracy,
Islamic social justice and the equality of manhood in your own native soil.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Allama Iqbal: I would like to see the Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, Sind and Baluchistan amalgamated into a single State. Self-government within the British Empire, or without the British Empire, the formation of a consolidated North-West Indian
Muslim State appears to me to be the final destiny of the Muslims, at least of North-West India.
Pakistan's Flag
The national flag of Pakistan (Urdu: پاکستان کا پرچم
was designed by Syed Amir-uddin Kedwaii and was based on the original flag of the Muslim League, which itself drew inspiration from the flag of the Mughal Empire in India. It was adopted by the Constituent Assembly[1] on August 11, 1947, just days before independence.[2][3][4] The flag is referred to in the national anthem as Parcham-e-Sitāra-o-Hilāl in Urdu (lit. Flag of the Crescent and Star). The flag comprises a dark green field, r
epresenting the Muslim majority of Pakistan, with a vertical white stripe in the hoist, representing religious minorities.[5] In the centre is a white crescent moon and a white five-pointed star, which symbolize progress and light respectively.[5] The flag symbolizes Pakistan's commitment to Islam, the Islamic world, and the rights of religious minorities.[6] The flag is flown on several important days of the year including Republic Day and Independence Day.
The flag was approved by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, founder of the nation. It is associated with the flag used by the All-India Muslim League as an emblem of its aim of
achieving an independent Muslim state. Their flag was green, with a central white star and crescent. At independence in 1947, a white stripe was added at the hoist to represent the state's minorities. The green and white together stand for peace and prosperity. The crescent symbolizes progress, and the star represents light and knowledge.
