No wonder the Quaid repeatedly talked about how 'Islam taught us democracy & the equality of man 1400 (time adjusted) years ago' !
Because Quaid e Azam`s definition of Islam was "Modern progressive Islam" , not medieval Hadith based practices
Quaids counselor on religious issues was Ghulam Ahmed Pervez
Yes , the same Pervez who was declared apostate by the Mullahs for his rejection of Hadith
The same Pervez who preached that Islam was not a typical religion of rituals and superstitious beliefs but was a challenge to the very institution of organized religion.
Who proclaimed that according to Islam all authority rests with "the law of God" as given in the Quran, whereby food and wealth are to be distributed equally to everybody.
Whenever Quaid talked about Islamic democracy and socialism , He did not mean anything like current Islamic Republic of Pakistan
Ghulam Ahmed Pervez was in close contact with Allama Muhammad Iqbal , another rejector of Mullah Islam for which he was declared an apostate too by Deoband & Barelvi scholars
Jinnah and Iqbal rejected traditional Mullah Islam , And ironically Mullahs today try to claim these great personalities as being followers of Mullah Islam !!
Iqbal was a reformer , not a traditionalist ,
In Words of Dr. Ali Shariati (The intellectual behind Iranian revolution) :
If one were to reconstruct the form of Islam which has been made to degenerate in the course of history, re-assemble it in such a way that the spirit could return to a total body, transform the present dazed elements into that spirit as if the trumpet of Israfil were to blow in the 20th century over a dead society and awaken its movement, power, spirit, and meaning, it is, then, that exemplary Muslim personalities will be reconstructed and reborn like Muhammad Iqbal.
The greatest advice of Iqbal to humanity is: Have a heart like Jesus, a thought like Socrates, and a hand like the hand of a Caesar but all in one human being, in one creature of humanity, based upon one spirit in order to attain one goal. That is, Iqbal himself: A man who attains the height of political awareness of his time to the extent that some people believe him to be solely a political figure and a liberated, nationalist leader who is a 20th century anti-colonist. A man who, in philosophical thought, rises to such a high level that he is considered to be a contemporary thinker and philosopher of the same rank as Bergson in the West today or of the same level as Ghazzali in Islamic history.
At the same time, he is a man we regard as being a reformer of Islamic society, who thinks about the conditions of human and Islamic society, a society in which he himself lives and for which he performs the jihad for the salvation, awareness, and liberation of Muslim people.
