Family of Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Compiled by Rashid Zia Cheema
Jinnah Bhai Poonja (Quaid-e-Azam’s Father). Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s parents, Poonja Bhai Jinnah and Mithibai Jinnah had seven children, namely Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Ahmad Ali Jinnah, Bande Ali Jinnah, Rehmat Bai, Maryam Bai, Fatima Jinnah and Shireen Bai.
Quaid’s First Wife: Emibai. Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s marriage with Emibai took place in 1892. She was 14 and he was 16. Only Nikkah was solemnized and the rukhsati was to take place later on. Shortly after the marriage, Jinnah left for England. When he returned, his bride had died. She died in 1893. Struck by the tragedy, Jinnah didn’t marry for a long time.
Quaid’s Second Wife: Rattenbai Petit. In 1918, Mohammad Ali Jinnah married Ruttenbai Petit (who converted to Islam and changed her name to Maryam Jinnah), the daughter of a prominent Parsi banker Sir Dinshaw Petit. Maryam give birth to a baby Dina Jinnah. On her 18th birthday, she left her father’s mansion with two pets only to marry Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Exactly eleven years later she was dead of an overdose of painkillers to treat her abdominal cancer. Quaid never married again and died a lonely man. Known as the nightingale of Bombay, Ruttie died on her 29th birthday on 20 February 1929.

Ruttie Jinnah’s Last Letter to Her Husband, Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Ruttie Jinnah’s simple but beautiful English makes this letter very moving. Each and every word of this sad but beautiful letter makes the readers cry. It was such an ideal couple and it pains when we learn about the demise of Ruttie at a very young age of 29. This letter was written on 5 Oct 1928 and she died after four and a half months on 20 Feb 1929.
She wrote this letter when she was aboard the SS Rajputana, a British passenger and cargo carrying ocean liner, which sailed on a regular route between England and British India. This ship was requisitioned into the Royal Navy during World War II. It was torpedoed and sunk off Iceland on 13 April 1941, after escorting a convoy across the North Atlantic.

S. S. Rajputana,
Marseilles 5 Oct 1928
Darling – thank you for all you have done. If ever in my bearing your once tuned senses found any irritability or unkindness – be assured that in my heart there was place only for a great tenderness and a greater pain – a pain my love without hurt. When one has been as near to the reality of Life (which after all is Death) as I have been dearest, one only remembers the beautiful and tender moments and all the rest becomes a half veiled mist of unrealities. Try and remember me beloved as the flower you plucked and not the flower you tread upon.
I have suffered much sweetheart because I have loved much. The measure of my agony has been in accord to the measure of my love.
Darling I love you – I love you – and had I loved you just a little less I might have remained with you – only after one has created a very beautiful blossom one does not drag it through the mire. The higher you set your ideal the lower it falls.
I have loved you my darling as it is given to few men to be loved. I only beseech you that the tragedy which commenced in love should also end with it.
Darling Goodnight & Goodbye
Ruttie
I had written to you at Paris with the intention of posting the letter here – but I felt that I would rather write to you afresh from the fullness of my heart. R.

Grave of Rattanbai (Ruttie) Jinnah, the Second Wife of Quaid
Quaid’s Father-in-Law, Sir Dinshaw Manockjee Petit. Sir Dinshaw Manockjee Petit, an extremely rich Parsi was a close friend of Jinnah. He used to stay at Dinshaw’s summer home in Darjeeling, a summer resort in the north of India. In 1916, Quaid-e-Azam met Dinshaw’s daughter Rattanbai or Ruttie as she used to be called, who was just 16, and legally a minor. In February 1918 Ruttie turned 18 and was free to marry as per English Law. Nobody from Ruttie’s family attended the marriage.

Quaid’s daughter Dina Jinnah was born in London on August 15, 1919 and was raised as a Muslim. Quaid-e-Azam disowned her when she got married to an Indian Parsi Neville Wadia. Dina did not travel to Pakistan until her father’s funeral in Karachi in September 1948. Dina and Neville had two children, a boy and a girl. Dina’s son Nusli Wadia has two sons; Ness Wadia and Jehangir Wadia.

Quaid’s Daughter Dina Wadia Visited Lahore to Watch a Cricket Match, March 2004. Dina witnessed the final (5th) ODI between India and Pakistan at Lahore on 24 March 2004.
Dina Wadia Visits Her Father’s Tomb, March 2004. Dina visited the mausoleum of her father, Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, on 26 March 2004 and laid floral wreath. She was accompanied by her son Nusli Wadia and grandsons Jehangir and Ness. She stayed there for 50 minutes. She never visited Pakistan in her father’s lifetime. This was her second visit to Pakistan. Her first visit was at the time of the Quaid’s death.
After laying the wreath she visited the place where personal belongings of the Quaid are on display. She also went to the mazar of Madar-i-Millat Fatima Jinnah to pay respects to her aunt. She also visited the Flag Staff House and the Quaid’s birthplace, Wazir Mansion. Read more details of her visit….

This is the first time in my life to see the family tree of Quaid-e-Azam,
What a Gr8 Leader Quaid was & I repeat “Musalman Musibat Mey Gabraya Naheen Kartey”!..strong faith in God & Islam ….Thanks for Giving Us “PAKISTAN” on 27th Ramadan…
It is very informative page. I like it very much and I appriate the the writter of this page because He got a keen interest in the history of Qaid e Azam Mr. Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s family. Thank you Sir.
This Post is quite informative, one should know the facts regarding once leader. I really appreciate the effort and we should share the said information to our friends.
Whatever and who ever, who married who……but family is great and right to be SALUTED.
Wadia married a person who was Parsi {Zoroastrianism (aatish parast)}. When Dina married Neville, Jinnah said to her that she was not his daughter any more. Wadia’s relationship with her father became strained when she expressed her desire to marry a Parsi-born Indian Neville Wadia.
Neville Wadia was not a Parsi, he was a Christian.
Although Neville Wadia was born a Parsi, his father renounced the Zoroastrian faith and converted to Christianity. Wadia converted from Christianity to Zoroastrianism later in life.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neville_Wadia
Neville Wadia remained a Christian all his life. Parsis (Zorostrians) do not accept converts, and expel from their community any member who marries a non-Parsi.
A job well done, it is good to know our founder’s family history.
Dina & her family mambers have no right to show any relation with our Quaid. Even Quaid himself left Dina due to her marriage decision. How it is possible that a non Muslim family has a relation with such a person who proved himself a true leader of only Muslims, who fought with the world in his whole life for the separate identity of Muslims. How is possible that he himself agreed to have any relation with such a non Muslim girl. The daughters & sons of Quaid are only true Pakistanies.
Well we like it or not, she and her children are the only true heirs of Jinnah Sahib.
Mujhe yeh sun kar bara afsos hoowa hai keh jin logo ka Pakistan hai unho nay kabhi Pakistan ko visit hi nahi kiya .. Quaid’s daughter just came twice in Pakistan.
Thanks for writing about family of founder. It is an irony that we know so little about the family of the father of the nation. I wonder where other sisters of Quaid and their families live now.
A great effort and so well compiled. My compliments and its a great service to the nation.
Such a great information.
There is no pic available of Quaid’s mother & Quaid’s first wife….Pic which is commenly used as Quaid’s first wife is actually Miss Fatimah Jinnah in the age of 14-16 years.
Good information and also mention his brothers and sisters along with current details
Good information posted about the lineage of Quaid-e-Azam & Wadia Jinnah.
Such a great information about our legend! I really didn’t know these details about him. Great work. 🙂
It is helpful for my Presentation.
10 most famous class and style great people of the world in my opinion are as follows:
1. Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (He was the greatest)
2. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
3. Imran Khan
4. Adolf Hitler
5. Barack Hussein Obama
6. Emperor Jalal-ud-Din Akbar, the great
7. Napoleon Bonaparte
8. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto
9. Sir Donald Bradman
10. George W. Bush
Such a brief and good information about Quaid’s family!!
Great family with great devotion.
Good work. Adding good references can make it a valuable research.
Mazzaa aa gaya.
Wow! Such a considerable collection of pics in album!!
Quaid-e-Azam was a great leader.
Very nice information about our Quaid.
Legend leader ………..legend family……. I love you Quaid and always miss you.May Allah bless you and your family’s souls(ameen).
yes
You have written that Ruttie was later named Maryam. There is no record of this. Even her tombstone names her as Rattanbai. Please rectify.
Excellent information, thanks.
Great man, great family. Thanks for adding these photographs for viewing,
Thanx a lot. Never have witnessed such view full document. Indeed they were great people.
How unlucky are Ness Wadia and Jehangir Wadia that they are not living in Pakistan….they ar missing so much respect and honor of having the privelage of Quaid’s grandsons. Alaas they prefer to live in India. 🙁
This Post shows how we remember our legends and how we praise them!!
A great personality, the founder of Pakistan!! My heart is full of admiration for him and I love him.
Proud to be called as a Pakistani. I am a proud Pakistani of Quaid-e-Azam’s nation. 🙂
Best post about Quaid-e-Azam.
He is credited to foundation of Pakistan and rightly so……however, considering his and his family’s lifestyle, he was not a true representation of real people of Pakistan! He represented only elitist class of Pakistan, this same class still ruling pPkistan and the result is disaster……a class still out of touch with real Pakistan….poor and rampant literacy and backward religious fanaticism!
I don’t think a lesser man could have managed the creation of a Muslim nation, Pakistan. Be grateful, a badly managed nation is better than no nation. Would you prefer to be in the place of Kashmiris or Palestinians or worse still a stateless Rohingia in Burma ?
Absolutely right! The ignorant (Jaahil) people cannot appreciate the abilities and talents of those on a higher level. They can judge things on their own level only.
Plz visit my blog: http://www.callingummah.blogspot.com
It is not about the elite class, it is about the elite thinking he had..and the thinking is not bound to any class.. a person from some lower class can also be the leader… it asks for the courage and leadership… Quaid had these skills. rest the Pakistan politician thing ..they are not from elite class they come to politics from any XYZ background and then become elite…due to corruption money. This is the problem and bad luck Pakistan has right now.
Farida Saeed and Rabia Athar,
Thanks for giving apt replies in favour of Quaid-e-Azam.
Beautiful collection of family photos of Quaid.
THE SEARCH FOR A NEW JINNAH
Where are you going to find him?
In the harvested fields?
In the desert?
By the shores of the Arabian Sea?
In the northern mountains
Among nomadic snuff spitting tribesmen?
You have sought him in our courts,
In our universities and high offices,
Among our politicians and armed forces,
Among our civil servants and maulanas,
But he is nowhere to be found
Sharing a room with these men.
You have had your Pharaohs
But they have reared no Moses.
And you are desperate
For a leader
To part the Indus
Towards the promised land.
Look in the mirror and you will find him
Hiding in the deep recesses of your eye,
In the dark alleys of your mind
Like a hunch back avoiding a crowd
Afraid that his kind
Are feared among your people.
Make peace with him,
He is your leader.
And like a brother,
Follow him through
This land of five rivers.
The mind is the sixth river,
Crossing all five, caressing
The land always and forever,
Under the force of the Universe,
Under the force of the Creator
To whom all rivers lead.
Give up your search,
Recall the ordeal of Buddha.
Embrace your own shadow,
You are your own leader,
You are your own Jinnah!

FOOTSTEPS OF THE HOUR
Beautiful sir
I am overwhelmed after reading certain facts about my “Quaid”. Alas! we have not measured up to his expectations; first we lost half of Pakistan and then the country which was presented to us in a silver platter came in the hands, and still it is,
who do not deserve to rule it.
My “Quaid”, please forgive us!!
Allah nay jiss say jo kaam karana hota hai, woh ho jata hai, warna banda apni beti kay khayalaat tak change nahi ker sakta, Nation to door ki baat hai.
The above family album of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah was posted on my wall of the FB by Col Gulzar Sudozai Sahib; Col Sahib is learned scholar, inveterate faith in the ideology of Pakistan. I thank him for sharing it.
Rare collection of pictures, marvelous ….historical…collection of our great hero!
What a golden collection! Thank you so much.
Moved emotionally by this Post. I always feel that we all Pakistanis are responsible for separating to loving souls from each other. The only dispute between Quaid and his wife was that he failed to give proper time/attention to his wife, as he was busy in Pakistan Movement, to create a safe heaven for we all.
May Allah bless his bounties on Quaid and his wife (Ameen).
First of all I want to thank for providing such a great historical collection of photos & details about our beloved leader
Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah & his family.
Quaid devoted his life for Muslims of subcontinent & united them, ultimately he along with his magnificent team effort Alhamdulilah, Islamic Republic of Pakistan became an independent Islamic State. Thanks to all Muslims of Subcontinent for their great struggle under Quaid-e-Azam’s leadership & full support of Mohtarma Fatimah Jinnah.
Pakistan Zindabad.
He was our great leader, His EXCELLENCY FATHER OF THE NATION.
Great Pics of his wife & daughter and other family members.
Great leader with not a happy family life. Feel so sad to see her daughter with such a cold heart. Not only she married to a Parsi Indian, she didn’t even practice a Muslim herself. In fact she didn’t accept herself as a Muslim.
Imran Khan’s family history & political history is somewhat like Quaid’s too.
Not agreed with your comparison…… get the details of these two personalities and judge yourself.
What a beautiful moment in album!!
Awesome collection!!
RIshi and ALi
GREAT Collection of pics! Just wanted to know if Quaid-e-Azam divorced his second wife or was she sick?
I have no words to say in respect of my great Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Well done for creating this Post!
Good collection of pics!!
Thanks for uploading these information. I want to know more about Quaid, the great.
Wow!! Very nice Post.
Nice site. Brilliant photographs. Sad to see Quaid’s daughter overcome with emotion when she visited her father’s tomb.
who dares to say Quaid e Azam very funny behave……….
Unforgettable history of Quaid, he was the law himself and a magnetic personality. He’s the only one who changed the history of leadership, he was really a proficient person, nobody could stop him at any step of creation of Pakistan and he made the dream true of Allama Iqbal. I remind one story about Mr. Jinnah. Once he was sitting with Gandhi, both were attending a conference. Gandhi looked at the table’s corner where Quaid was watching mirror. Gandhi used his hand to put down mirror and looked at Mr. Jinnah and said, “Mr. Jinnah, I’ve listened about you that you don’t come on the knee in front of anybody, now you will have to come on your knees to get it.” Mr. Jinnah smiled, put his hand in the pocket and pulled another watching mirror and wore it.
Very nice historical details, I like it.
Its really preservable record of our history. But dawn still awaited.
Style at its best. Great man, Great Family …. very good data about our leader. Well done!!
Great pics capturing history! God bless!
Quaid-e-Azam was our great leader. I love him very much.
Nice Post!! I have done my summer vacation home work with it. 🙂
The great leader in the world.
Hyper Nasal tone speech is called Jinha or Junho in Sindhi and also written as jinah in Urdu and English
Hypernasal speech or hyperrhinolalia or rhinolalia aperta is inappropriate increased airflow through the nose during speech that is called Jinhah in Sindhi language but it cannot be written and pronunciation in Urdu and English so it is now called as Jinah and his father Ponja was called Jinnah as nick name.
Nice and awesome nnowledge of Baba-e-Pakistan, we are proud of him.
It is funny. Quaid-e-Azam, Father of Pakistan, Mr. Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s daughter preferred to live in India on formation of Pakistan. Father of the Nation of India, Mahathma Gandhi’s son preferred to live in Pakistan.
He was a great man and father of the nation, he did a restless struggle for giving us a lovely homeland to live proudly.
We love our Hero and we will remember him always in our memories.
Quaid-e-Azam is really a great personality and he is the hero for all.
“With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve”.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Quaid-e-Azam was a Great Leader and Hero. We never forget his struggle for Pakistan. May Allah rest his soul in peace.
Aameen.
What can one say about Quaid-e-Azam!! What a leader, what a solid character, what man and what a Muslim, salamti to him!!!
I wish state of Pakistan brings the current life of Quad-e-Azam’s family to the awareness of the Pakistani people. While this may encroach some of their personal lives but I think more than that is people/nation love Quaid-e-Azam and they should be told of his family and of their well being.
So good collection of pics.
I salute to this person who really devoted his life for Pakistan’s freedom…………………
I can’t exactly explain my emotions for that great person but he is the real hero of the nation of Pakistan, a really devoted person. May he be in Heaven, Aameen.
Quaid-e-Azam was a great leader. He is my hero, I love him very much. I respect my country’s leader. He was really a great man. I salute him.
I love and respect our great leader. These are very rare and precious pictures, these must be saved for our new generation. Please Muslims get up, see these pictures, our Quaid left everything for us and now what we are doing with Pakistan. Thanks to God for giving us a Great leader, Quaid. Oh, I am feeling ashamed, Now Quaid family needs financial help, they are living in bad condition. What is this….we must do some thing for them.
Great leader of Indo Pak in history. I miss Quaid, honest Quaid, my ideal Quaid!
We express our deep love to Quaid but the truth is that we don’t love and respect him as we all as a nation have forgotten all his teachings and dreams about a true Muslim country free of corruption, injustice and hatred.
Jag jao aey soi hoi quoam!
No one is like our Quaid. Please please be aware that our country needs us, our sincerity and our capability. Do something for Pakistan. Quaid-e-Azam sacrificed his love, his family, his life for Pakistan.
Love Pakistan, save Pakistan, be united.
A great brave and intelligent man. Having strong decision power and a national vision. Really lived a life with dignity and respect. I salute him the way he struggled for making Pakistan without any personal interest. Such a lovely man. I really love him. Jinnah, I Love You. You deserved to be the Quaid.
A GREAT Leader. We love him & respect him from the core of our hearts.
Such a great man … time very seldom yields such leaders.
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was the great,brave,sincere and an honest man and a true and steadfast leader.
Quaid-e-Azam was a great man and hero of the nation and also all over the Muslim world.
I really love him.
I love Quaid-e-Azam. He is my hero.
Quaid-e-Azam was a great man.
I love respect our great leader. These are very rare and precious pictures. Please Muslims get up, see these pictures, our Quaid left everything for us. And Thanks to God for giving us a Great leader, Quaid. Oh, I am feeling ashamed, we are doing nothing for the country of our Quaid.
Very nice Post about Quaid and his family.
I love Quaid-e-Azam. He is my idol.
It should be a part of our social study.
I love and have respect for our greatest leader. These are very rare and precious pictures. Please Muslims get up, see these pictures, our Quaid left everything for us. Oh, I am feeling ashamed, we are doing nothing for the country of our Quaid.
Superb collection, very rare and precious pictures!

Most beautiful & interesting pics of our Great leader.
May Allah rest his soul in peace, Ameen!!
Quaid-e-Azam was a true Legend!!
Pakistan is the gift from Muhammad Alu Jinnah to us.
Can you write some thing on GREAT QUAID’s professional life, so that our new generation like me follow it?
Very sad to know that Quaid-e-Azam’s daughter is not living in Pakistan.
Quaid-e-Azam, the GREAT leader of Pakistan. Quaid-e- Azam ko Salam…………..
I am so sad about current position of Pakistan.
Can you please post the full picture of Quaid’s Nikah nama?
May Allah bless us again with a leader like him who could draw our ship out of storms.
Today’s independent state known as our dear country Pakistan is just the dream and ambition of our great Quaid. Legendary leader will be remembered always.
God bless his family his parents and may his soul rest in peace.
I love him.
Quaid was a great leader and we should learn from him. May Allah rest his soul in peace. May we get a leader again like him who can take care of Pakistan!!!
We love Quaid-e-Azam , May Allah bless his soul and bless us again a leader like him. We should take lesson from Quaid’s struggle.
Quaid-e-Azam a True Lengend. May Allah grant him the highest rank in paradise.
No one was born again like our great hero. May Allah rest his soul in peace.
Aameen.
Hats off to Quaid-e-Azam. May Allah almighty bless us with such a great leader again.
Quaid-e-Azam was a great leader who rescued ISLAM from endangered situation in India but at the same time he wanted to create some sort of FEDERATION to be a part of INDIAN SUBCONTINENT with a common currency, common defence and common trade. This was his dream, which if realized would have brought a better future for PAKISTAN.
May Allah bless us again with a leader like him who could draw our ship out of storms.
Quaid-e-Azam was a great leader.
Pakistan zindabad!!
Quaid was a Great hero. Salute to him.
Quaid-e-Azam was a great leader. He is my hero, I love him very much.
I love our Great leader Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Quaid e Azam is my hero and i am solute him for his struggle
If one wants to become a great leader or a great personality, one should follow the Quaid’s personality, of course he was a great person.
ALLAH nay jub koi khaas kaam kerna hota hai tou woh kisi khaas insaan ko select ker letay hain aur ALLAH ki nazar may Quaid-e-Azam bohat khaas insaan thay. So ALLAH nay unhay select kia jis ki waja say Pakistan iss dunya kay naqshay per ubhra aur Quaid-e-Aazam nay kaha tha kay Pakistan qayam rehnay kay leaye wajood may aya hai.
Quaid-e-Azam aisi shakhsiat hain kay un ki kami qayamat tak poori nahi ho sakti. I really really miss my greatest leader Quaid-e-Azam.
I love Quaid-e-Azam. He was the man who changed the map of the world.
Quaid was the greatest leader with truth, faith and discipline
Quaid-e-Azam was a great leader!!!
Quaid-a-Azam had very good personality, I am proud of him.
Alhamdulilah, Quaid nay khudi ka siray nihan per amal kya aur Indo Pak kay muslmanoon ko aik azad aur khudmukhtar mulk Pakistan ki soorat mein hasil kar kay diya. Ab hamain sochna chahiye kya hum nein iss ki tameer aur taraqy kay liye kuch kya hai. Agar ab tak kuch nahin kya tou ab bhi waqat hai kudi kay paigham per chall kar Pakistan ko traqiyafta mumalak ki saf mein khara kar dain aur apnay her kam ko emaandari aur diyanat say karain, Aameen.
Khuda aap ko iss kam ka ajjar day aur Allah father of nation kay darjaat buland karay, Aameen.
Thanks for sharing some of the personal moments of Quaid e Azam. In our effort to salute him as a father of nation we forget that he was also a son, a brother, a husband and a father.
If I may suggest, it might be good if there is a link or a short description of his surviving family and their children.
It is a beautiful Post and very reliable one too.
Alhamdullia. I am proud that Quaiz-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah is my hero. I salute to him and all his family members.
Great honor and respect for great leader!!!!!
Thanks for the sharing of such a valueable info about our model Quaid-e-Azam & his family.
The greatness of Quaid-e-Azam can’t me measured indeed!
Thanks for sharing these photos…. There is no other leader like Quaid-e-Azam.
Thanks for sharing such valuable and informative pics of our leader.
Quaid-e-Azam was a brilliant man who served his life for all of us. Our nation has now become so week, I think we have to struggle all the time because our enemies would attack us any time.
Thank you for the very special private letter by Quaid’s wife at the twilight of her life. Something special and agonising, as well.
I love our leade, Quaid-e-Azam. Very useful information for us in this Post. Thank you.
Hzaron saal nargis apni bainoori pe roti hai,
Bari mushkil se hota ha chaman mein dedawer paida.
Khudhi ko ker buland itna kay her takdeer say pehlay,
Khuda banday say khud pochay, bata teri raza kia hai.
Quaid-e-Azam nay beshak is poetry per amal ker kay hum ko PaKistan jesa beautiful mulk bana ker diya. He was a great nation builder and a honest patriot.
Thank you for sharing these photos.
Thanks and very impressed by the information and pictures collection. Great work and salam to Quaid family and we got Pakistan with his efforts.
Respected M.r Muhammad Ali Jinnah: I know him as a great man, great leader, and a symbol of success and unity. My generation is missing him and our next generations would also miss him.
Today we are living in a democratic country because of a legend man, Quaid-e-Azam. He wanted to give his people their own country, which he did. We should all be thankful to him and never forget his favours. Now it is the responsibility of every Pakistani citizen that we maintain the country and follow his ideology.
This is one of the most amazing photography and biography I have ever seen. Salute!!! Although not being a Pakistani, I still loved it.
Thank you for this Post.
I love my leader. Thank you for the beautiful post. If you have more photographs, then please share.
I love Quaid-e-Azam and his family. Quaid-e-Aazam is reason that we are living freely in our beloved country Pakistan. I love my Quaid very very much.
Yeah, you are right!!
What lovely pictures of our great and sincere Quaid-e-Azam ! May Allah bless Pakistan!
The Quaid-e-Azam is the greatest leader in the World. I love Quaid-e-Azam. If Quaid-e-Azam did not struggle for us we wouldn’t be free today. We do nothing in our life what we want. If Quaid-e-Azam was live then Pakistan would have become a Developed country.
Beautiful pictures of Quid’s family, love you Baba Pakistan zindabad
Long live Pakistan. Long live the name of Mohammad Ali Jinnah and those who made this beloved country of ours. Allah bless them all, the land, the people.
Beautiful pictures. It is our country’s history, if you have more please add them here.
Thank you for setting up this beautiful post, we should always remember our history, how our great leaders struggled for our freedom, our Independent state, they did not fill their pockets. We should learn from this, unite and look after one another, and our beautiful country, respect and always remember our history and the great people who made it.
May Allah rest their souls.
I wish he would have lived 10 years more and guided Pakistan into a flourishing country instead of a ruined Pakistan which we are seeing today.
I also wish he could have stayed close to Ruttie Behan instead of getting into politics and neglecting her which broke her heart and she died at the age of 29 just 11 years after her marriage.
I endorse your comments fully. Pakistan needed his guidance for ten to fifteen years.
Man with a vision, he had a dream “home for the Muslims in the sub-continent”. He gave us a home.
Pakistan Zindabad.
I love my Quaid. May Allah bless his soul. Amen.
I love my Quaid.
Quaid-e-Azam ka ehsaan hai hum per.
A melting heart with tears rolling down the cheeks, tears refusing to tell whether they are of the parting or the pain of the beloved, and history, love tales and legends lurking around is just a way to describe this matchless relationship, bordering on misunderstandings leading to the separation of the two whose patrician form and the legendary unequivocal form and beauty of Mrs. Jinnah makes time and history whirl with a homeland in which the Founder lies alone, awaiting the woman he loved who lies in Bombay.
The Pakistan and Indian Governments should rejoin “Ruttie and Jinnah” now forever.
I love this Post!!
I simply love my leader.
I love my great leader and the father of the Nation. I also love the mother of the Nation Fatima Jinnah and her struggle for democracy. I love all the family members of Quaid-e-Azam.
I love Mr. Jinnah. Now we are free only because of our great leader Quaid-e-Azam.
Sir, thank you very much. I have never seen most of these photos because Media and Masters don’t want people to see these wonderful pictures. Please do post more pictures if you have any left.
It is Awesome post!
Today we are free only because of Fatima Ali Jinnah & Quaid-e-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah!
We should owe him a great and wonderful thing!
It’s a great post.
I love Quaid-e-Azam and his struggle for Muslims. We should know the history of our nation’s hero. This interest is developed due to visit of Quaid”s house on Sharh-e-Faisal opposite AVari Towers. I miss my Quaid a lot.
“An Extremely Rare Photo: Quaid Celebrating Eid as a Child”
The child in the photograph is not Quaid , it is Mahatma Gandhi. Please rectify the mistake.
Dear Mr. Peter D’Souza,
The pic has been removed. Thanks for pointing out this mistake.
What a wonderful collection it is!!
I like national hero of Pakistan.
I love our Quaid who made Pakistan.
Really Quaid was a fantastic person in history. He enabled us to live independently. Think lot of times before criticizing the father of Nation.
I love Quaid. I have no words to explain what I am feeling now………lot of information.
Great history of our Quaid.
Thank you for giving us great memories about great people.
Such a great memory of a fabulous person of the world.
Great men never die, their death makes them immortal because they live in our hearts. We love and like him heart and soul. Quaid-e-Azam was a brave and honest man. He devoted all his time and energy to work for the achievement of Pakistan. May he rest in peace. Today Pakistan needs a leader like Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Muhammad Iqbal.
Heroes never die!!
I can never ever thank to the leaders who worked so hard to convert Pakistan into reality. Quaid-e-Azam ruined his personal life for us, so we as a Muslims can live a better life. We can never pay him.
Nice pics of Quaid and his family.
Really very informative and attention gaining for a Pakistani as well as all the people who have interest in famous and known personalities of the world.
I was so moved seeing the rare pictures of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah and the other members of his family that it reminded me of an aristocratic but lively living of a great leader. I salute him as an astute leader who carved out a land for Muslims in the undivided India in the face of the dominant Brahmins.
These are amazing pics.
I salute Quid-e-Azam. Nobody can become like him. He wanted that Muslims should live free. When somebody called him a king, he was so angry and said that he was a soldier of Pakistan. He also said, “Musalmaan museebat kay waqt ghabrata nahi”. He is the greatest leader in the world. Allama Iqbal, Liaqat Ali khan and lots of people did hard work to make Pakistan.
Pakistan zindabad.
Quaid-e-Azam was a great leader.
Seems like I have gone through the land of information of My Quaid!
Mesmerizing memories!!
Fabulous photos. Mene yeh pics aaj tak kabhi nahi dekheen.
Masha Allah, Amazing & Superb work in presenting the history of a Great Leader. We are such blessed that we have no idea, we owe this Great man as we live in a Free and our own country. He lived a good life.
– An intelligent, brave leader, well dressed, respectful prominent, loved animals, converted at-least a person into Islam, taught and preached love without discrimination, showed his annoyance to her daughter over marrying a non-Muslim, sacrificed and created a unique history in the continent and globe that may not be repeated centuries to come.
Once who said: “Musalman museebat kay waqt Ghabrata Nahee”.
May Allah give us the wisdom to at-least follow his teachings and live together and full-fill our responsibilities to maintain what he gave us. That was a crucial time & may be 1 over 10 ratio of Mukhalifeen. I Salute this Great Leader for gifting us the land, own country, respect and pride of Pakistan.
Please for God sake do not criticize & be generous in complimenting him.
Its really a shame on all of us and the Ruler of so called our politicians, please compile his history respectfully and let us know our FATHER OF NATION to entire world and follow his teachings in our day to day government operation.
Salute, Salute and Salute to you Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah.

Amazing memories of Quaid’s family.
Very impressive information. Really our Quaid was a brave and powerful man. A man who came to know that a nation for which he is doing work day night and not enjoy rest shall not be loyal. Instead of this he achieved Pakistan.
Alas! our nation broke the trust of our beloved Quaid.
Thanks for sharing such great and memorable rare pictures. I am really surprised to see the love letter of Jinnah’s wife to him, very interesting. I salute the QA, who gave us an independent country. Thanks God Jinnah gave us a Paradise on earth, called Pakistan. Long Live Pakistan. Salute to our great leader…
Amazing !! I am moved to see the photos of Quaid’s family, especially the last letter of Dina Jinnah to Quaid, the loving husband. I pray for the departed souls. May God elevate their ranks. Ameen.
Quaid was so smart and well dressed.
Quaid is great. Na aisa koi tha na ab aega, PAKISTAN kay liye.
Nice collection of pics. Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s life is really inspiring!!
Dressed up like a British, having dogs, servants, married a Parsi woman, enjoying cigars, daughter looks like an Angrez, Subhan Allah, the leader of Pakistan- a country which was separated and fought for to live independently in and implement our religion Islam (doesn’t look like 🙂
The Parsi woman converted to Islam and Quaid disowned his daughter because she married a non Muslim. And just so you know there is nothing wrong in smoking and also dressing up like a British. Your comment caught my attention because this is what many people used to say in old times.
He was the greatest leader ever!
Amber is right.
Amber is right.
Hmmm!! Amber is right. 🙂
Amber, you are totally wrong. Quiad nay Musalmaan se shadi ki thi na kay kissi Parsi say. Agar koi gher-Muslim Islam qabool karay tou kia aap ussay hamaisha he gher-Muslim hi kahain gi? Aur aap ko aisa haq kis nay diya kay aap Quaid ko criticise karain? Woh qauom kay mohsin hain iss liye???????
He didn’t make Pakistan an Islamic State!
His Pakistan didn’t have any state religion, later in 1956 it was made Islamic Republic but Jinnah’s Dominion of Pakistan was made to protect Human Rights, was a non-Theocratic State.
Mr. Qayyum Shaikh, please study the history and then give some comments. Quaid-e-Azam was considered to be one of the great leaders and he was instrumental in birth of Pakistan.
I salute you Quaid, the father of the nation.
Amazing display of memorable pictures. Well done.
Pakistan text books don’t have Quaid’s Family history. Shame to government of Pakistan and their politician. 99% Pakistan youth do not know about Quaid.
Quaide’s personality and character is my ideal.. thanx for nice adorable info.
Thanks for sharing such an informative Stuff.
We are thankful to you for great achievement about our Quaid. I was fond to know Quaid’s family. Now I am very happy to know about this. Jazak Allah.
Superb!! Very memorable memories!!
I hope that you will come up with some more of these. A rare and I would say an excellent work.
Dear, Very nice & rare collection, Its great job done by you.
Its really a rare collection. I appreciated this work.
Very rare pictures. Never seen before. Great job done by you.
Brilliant job. May God keep them in peace.
Great job done by you, remarkable pictures, never seen such pictures before in my life. I also would want to add to these pictures, the pic of Quaid-e-Azam with the Aligarh College football team post match. My father was also in the team. I would surely share the pic with you.
Wonderful job, never seen such historical pictures of Quaid and family. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.
Most wonderful job. This is the first time in my life to see the family tree of Quid-e-Azam. I hope this is introduced as a History syllabus in all Pakistani Schools. You really deserve great credit for the pains you have taken to bring it to our knowledge. I am impressed. God Bless you and give you a very long life.
