From the above statement ,it is clear that Ideology of Pakistan is an Islamic one.

TWO NATION CONCEPT

The fundamental concept of Ideology is that Muslims should get a separate identity.They should have
a separate state where they could live according to Islamic rules and principles ,profess their religion
freely and safeguard Islamic tradition .On one occation Quid-e-Azam said:
"The Muslims demand Pakistan where they can rule in accordance with their own system of life ,their
cultural development ,their traditions and Islamic laws."
Thus,this fundamental concept of Ideology led to the concept of two nations in the Sub Continent and
resulted in the formation of Pakistan.

FACTORS CREATING THE IDEA OF A SEPARATE HOMELAND

Ideology of Pakistan was created when Muslims of Indo-Pak Sub Continent developed a specific
atitude of mind that they are different from Hindus.This was due to the injstices done to the Muslims
by British and Hindus.Some of these are:
1.Anti Muslim Campaign
The Hindus and British joined hands to destroy the faith,belief,costoms and national importance of
Muslims because Muslims rebillion was creating much problem for both.

\72.Inacceptance of British Rule

Muslims had been ruling the Sub Continent for ages.Therefore,they could not resist any power over
them,When Britsh came to rule the Sub Continent ,Muslims were the only nation who opposed
them.Thus,in order to gain power,British had to crush the Muslims collectivity.

3.Hindus Betrayed Muslims

In the beginning ,Hindus appeaared to be on Muslim's side,but later on their hostility was exposed as
they opposed various steps taken by British Government which purely benefited for Muslims.

4.Refusal of Muslim identity

British wanted to implement parliamentary system in Sub Continent in which the majority was the
power and authority.Due to Hindu majority it was probablethat if British left India undivided,it would
fall under the Hindus rule.Further more ,Hindus did not accept the separate identity of Muslims and
thus,there were no chances of freedom even after the British rule.

5.War of 1857
In 1857,Muslims and Hindus tried to expel the British out of India but failed .Later due to Hindu
conspiracies,Muslims were held responsible for it and hence were crushed further by Britishers.

6.Sir Syed's Idea

Sir Syed for the first time put down the idea that Muslims are a separate nation.He convinced Muslims
to unite themselves in order to have a separate social and political identity.

BASIC POINTS OF IDEOLOGY OF PAKISTAN

1.Muslims are different Hindus in every aspects,their culture ,civilization,customs and religion all are
entirely different.

2.The Muslims need a free state for protection of their separate where they can live in accordance with
their faith,belief and follow the Islamic codes.

IMPORTANCE OF IDEOLOGY IN NATIONAL LIFE

Ideology is a motivating force for a nation,which is striving hard to bring stability and homogeneity to
its nation hood.Its provide the binding force to the scattered groups in a societyand bring them close
to each other on a common platform.Ideologies impel their adherence to follow a joint linked action
for the accomplishment of their goal.Ideologies give shape to the revolutions and create new cultures
and civilizations.They stress on their adherents to insist on the realization of their ideal throught total
transformation of society.An urgent agreement with each other on the ideals is most vital pre-requisite
of an ideology.

CONCLUSION

own culture,literature ,religion and way of life.They cannot be merged in any other nation.They should
be able to develop their culture and religious traditions in an Islamic State and they should be able to
create a true Islamic society for themselves.
Thus the ideology of Pakistan which developed through the period of Mohammad Bin Qasim and others
and followed by political leaders like Quid-e-Azam was materialized in 1947.

strives to accomplish in order to bring stability to its nationhood. Defining
ideology, George Lewis says:
“Ideology is a plan or program which is based upon philosophy.”
Ideology of Pakistan
Pakistan is an ideological state and the ideology of Pakistan is an Islamic
ideology. Its basic principle being:
“The only sovereigner is Allah.”
Islam acted as a nation building force before the establishment of Pakistan.
Ideology of Pakistan basically means that Pakistan should be a state where the
Muslims should have an opportunity to live according to the faith and creed
based on the Islamic principles. They should have all the resources at their

Two Nation Concept
The fundamental concept of Ideology is that Muslims should get a separate
identity. They should have a separate state where they could live according to

tradition. On one occasion Quaid-e-Azam said:
“The Muslims demand Pakistan where they can rule in accordance with their own system of life, their
cultural development, their traditions and Islamci laws.”
Thus, this fundamental concept of Ideology led to the concept of two
nations in the Sub Continent and resulted in the formation of Pakistan.
Factors creating the Idea of a Separate Homeland
Ideology of Pakistan was created when Muslims of Indo-Pak Sub Continent
developed a specific attitude of mind that they are different from Hindus. This
was due to the injustices done to the Muslims by British and Hindus. Some of
these are:
1. Anti Muslim Campaign
The Hindus and British joined hands to destroy the faith, belief, customs
and national importance of Muslims because Muslim rebellion was creating much
problem for both.
2. Inacceptance of British Rule
Muslims had been ruling the Sub Continent for ages. Therefore, they could
not resist any power over them. When British came to rule the Sub Continent,
Muslims were the only nation who opposed them. Thus, in order to gain power,
British had to crush the Muslims collectively.
3. Hindus Betrayed Muslims
In the beginning, Hindus appeared to be on Muslim’s side, but later on their
hostility was exposed as they opposed various steps taken by British
Government which purely benefited for Muslims.
4. Refusal of Muslim identity
British wanted to implement parliamentary system in Sub Continent in
which the majority was the power and authority. Due to Hindu majority it was
 probable that if British left India undivided, it would fall under the Hindus rule.
Further more, Hindus did not accept the separate identity of Muslims and thus,
there were no chances of freedom even after the British rule.
5. War of 1857
In 1857, Muslims and Hindus tried to expel the British out of India but
failed. Later due to Hindu conspiracies, Muslims were held responsible for it and
hence were crushed further by Britishers.

customs and religion all are entirely different.
2. The Muslims need a free state for protection of their separate where they can live
in accordance with their faith, belief and follow the Islamic codes.
Importance of Ideology in National Life
Ideology is a motivating force for a nation, which is striving hard to bring
stability and homogeneity to its nation hood. It provides the binding force to the
scattered groups in a society and bring them close to each other on a common
platform. Ideologies impel their adherence to follow a joint linked action for the
accomplishment of their goal. Ideologies give shape to the revolutions and create
new cultures and civilizations. They stress on their adherents to insist on the
realization of their ideal through total transformation of society.
An urgent agreement with each other on the ideals is most vital pre-
requisite of an ideology.
Conclusion
The fundamental concept of the ideology of Pakistan is that Muslims are a
separate nation having their own culture, literature, religion and way of life. They
cannot be merged in any other nation. They should be able to develop their
culture and religious traditions in an Islamic State and they should be able to
create a true Islamic society for themselves.
Thus the ideology of Pakistan which developed through the period of Mohd
Bin Qasim and others and followed by political leaders like Quaid-e-Azam was
materialized in 1947.
Ideology of Pakistan in the light of Quaid-e-Azam’s Sayings
Ideology of Pakistan and Quaid-e-Azam
Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the great leader of Muslims of Sub
Continent gave practical shape to the ideology given by Allama Iqbal. He had a strong
believe in Hindu Muslim unity and was of the opinion that both Hindus and Muslims
should launch joint efforts to get rid of British rule.
After joining Muslim League in 1913, he continued with his efforts to bring about
Hindu Muslim unity but he was greatly disappointed to see the prejudicial attitude of the
Congress and Hindus towards the Muslims. Following are some extracts from the
speeches and statements which he delivered from time to time for explaining the
ideology of Pakistan.
Address at Second Round Table Conference in 1931
 Quaid-e-Azam believed that Congress and Hindus would never recognize the
rights of Mulsims. He declared while representing the Muslims in the Second Round
Table Conference in 1913:
“The Hindu Muslim dispute must be settled before the enforcement of any system or constitution. Untill you do not
give guarantee for the safeguard of the Muslim interests, untill you do not win their (Mulims) co-operations, any
constitution you enforce shall not las for even 24 hours.”
Quaid-e-Azam and Two Nation Theory
Quaid-e-Azam was a firm advocate of two nation theory which became the
ideological basis Pakistan. He considered the Muslims as a separate nation. He said:
“Pakistan was created the day the first Indian national entered the field of Islam.”
He defined the two nation theory as:
“The Muslims are a nation by every right to establish their separate homeland. They can adopt any means to
promote and protect their economic social, political and cultural interests."
Address on 23rd March, 1940 – Pakistan Resolution
At the historic session of the Muslim League at Lahore, he said:
“The Mussalmans are not a minority. They are a nation by any definition. By all canons of International lwa we are
a nation.”
In his presidential address at the annual session of Muslim League at Lahore in
1940, he said:
“India is not a nation, nor a country. It is a Sub Continent of nationalities. Hindus and Muslims being the two major
nations. The Hindus and Muslims belongs belong to two different religions, philosophies, social customs and
literature. They neither intermarry nor interdine and they belong to two different civilization which are based
mainly on conflicting ideas and conceptions. Their aspects on life and of are different. It is quite clear that Hindus
and Muslims derive their inspiration from different sources of history.”
Address on March 8, 1944
While addressing the students of Muslim University, he said:
“Hindus and Muslims through living in the same town and villages, had never been blended into one nation. They
were always two separate entities.”
Quaid-e-Azam and Millat-e-Islamia
Quaid-e-Azam emphasized on the Islamic ideology as being the basis of the
struggle for Pakistan because he believed that only Islam was the unifying force of the
Muslim Millat. He said:
“What relationships knits the Muslims into one whole, which is the formidable rock on which the Muslim edifice has
been erected, which is the sheet anchor providing base to the Muslim Millat, the relationship, the sheet anchor and
the rock is Holy Quran.”
Address at Islamia College Peshawar
In 1946, Quaid-e-Azam declared:
“We do not demand Pakistan simply to have a piece of land but we want a laboratory where we could experiment
on Islamic principles.”
Address on 18th June 1945
In his message to the frontier Muslim Students Federation, he said:
“Pakistan only means freedom and independence but Muslims ideology, which has to be preserved which has come
to us as a precious gift and treasure and which w hope, others will share with us.”
Conclusion
The above sayings and statements largely prove that Quaid-e-Azam wanted a
establish an Islamic system as a code of life because he believed that it was the sole
objective of the Pakistan Movement.

Ideology of Pakistan in the light of Statements of Allama Iqbal

Prelude
Allama Iqbal, the poet, philosopher and a great thinker with the help of his poetry
tried to awaken the Muslims of the sub-continent. He believed in the separate identity of
Muslims as a nation.
 In 1930, Allama Iqbal presented his mature political opinion on the political fate of
Indian Muslims in his presidential address at Allahbad at the annual session of Muslim
League. He said:
"I am fully convinced that the Muslims of India will ultimately have to establish a separate homeland as they could
not live with the Hindus in the United States."
He also said:
"India is a continent of human beings belonging to different races, speaking different languages and professing
different religions ...., I, therefore demand the formation of a consolidated Muslim state in the best interest of India
and Islam."
He stressed on the formation of a separate State by saying:
"I would like to see the Punjab, NorthWest Fronties Province, Sindh 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 Norht West India."
