Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (r.a) |
“On 12th September 1948 was the departure of
this ship, that Hazrat Quaid e Azam(r.a) died. This was such a sudden shock
that I could not control myself. I left my luggage on the ship and myself
returned to the city Karachi for participation in the funeral prayers. Thanks
to Allah that I gave a shoulder and with my hands lowered Hazrat Quaid-e-Azam(r.a)
into the grave. He hardly weighed 15 to 20 kg. When I opened the part of his
head and on his forehead kissed for the last time, I felt that someone was
sleeping a very sweet and deep sleep. There was no sign of the pain during
death. The pain of a nation at the end took this old General to the grave.” Few days
after this letter the secretary received a telegram from Mr.Asad Multani on 28th
September 1948 that stated the condition at the enshroud :
The funeral prayers of Baba Jinnah (r.a) |
”There was no special
coffin made for him but instead a simple one which was called for from a nearby
Masjid. A simple mat made of leaves of a date tree was laid. For the
shroud(kafan) a very simple calico was called. On the coffin only the flag of
Pakistan was kept. No other luxurious cloth etc. was kept. On the top of the
flag, towards the head a few flowers were laid. However, a bunch of flowers
were laid on the grave. Every day the flowers were removed and again new bunch
of flowers came. Up till now night and day the series of Qur’an Khuwani is
being continued and a crowd always remains. This man of Allah has gained a
bizarre death.”
Along with
the death of Quaid-e-Azam (r.a) the sky echoed with Qur’an Pak. Especially,
from every part of Pakistan and from every corner of the world in the main
without inducement or intimidation innumerable times Qur’an was being read, to
be presented to him as a last tribute and to show affection. If a king,
minister or prince even if he held can never gain the reading of Qur’an this
many times. And no leader from the beginning till after death has gained it.
The series of reading Qur’an was still continuing that in November 1948 two letters were received by the secretary from the special confidant from Madina-e-Munawara which said that the mission I was given has been completed. Thanks a million to Allah. When this special confidant returned from Madina-e-Munawara he visited the house of the secretary Abdur Rehman Khan and along with other important news said that he stayed at the place of the special manservant of Roza-e-Mubarak of Huzoor Nabi Kareem s.a.ww, Agha Ishaaq Ali, the only man authorised to enter Roza-e-Aqdas. Mr. Agha said that the day Quaid-e-Azam(r.a) died in Pakistan. That day he saw Huzoor Nabi Kareem s.a.ww in his dream. The blessed Prophet (s.a.ww) of Allah looked quite joyous. Huzoor s.a.ww said, “Today our friend is coming. You too celebrate his arrival.” When I asked him “Huzoor (s.a.ww), who is he?”, the Prophet (s.a.ww) responded: “Muhammad Ali Jinnah.”
We all cooked sweets that day and we also have brought the prediction that, “Pakistan will not be erased. Who try to erase it will in fact be erased.”
