Farewell Hajj Sermon of Prophet (1)
عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ... فَقُلْتُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ حَجَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ... فَقَالَ ... إِذَا زَاغَتِ الشَّمْسُ ... فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ وَقَالَ « ... وَقَدْ تَرَكْتُ فِيكُمْ مَا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ إِنِ اعْتَصَمْتُمْ بِهِ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ. وَأَنْتُمْ تُسْأَلُونَ عَنِّي فَمَا أَنْتُمْ قَائِلُونَ » قَالُوا نَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ وَأَدَّيْتَ وَنَصَحْتَ. فَقَالَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ السَّبَّابَةِ يَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَيَنْكُتُهَا إِلَى النَّاسِ « اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدِ اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ » ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ...
[Sahih Muslim, Kitab Al-Hajj (15), Hadith 2950]
Farewell Hajj Sermon of Prophet (2)
عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ، قَالَ ... « أَلاَ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ » قَالُوا نَعَمْ. قَالَ « اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ، فَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ، فَرُبَّ مُبَلَّغٍ أَوْعَى مِنْ سَامِعٍ، فَلاَ تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي كُفَّارًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ »
Narrated by Abu Bakra (r.a), The Prophet (s.a.w) gave a sermon on the Day of Nahr. He (s.a.w) said ... “Have I conveyed Allah’s message to you?” They said, “Yes.” He (s.a.w) said, “O Allah! Be witness. It is incumbent upon those who are present to convey it to those who are absent because the informed one might comprehend it better than the present audience, who will convey it to him. Beware! Don’t become disbelievers after me by striking one another’s necks.”
[Sahih Bukhari, Kitab Al-Janaiz (23), Hadith 1741]
Completion & Perfection of Islam
... الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلَامَ دِينًا ... ۞
“... This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favour upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion ...”
[Surah Al-Maida (5): Ayat 3]
How a Jew Described it’s Importance
عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنَ الْيَهُودِ قَالَ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، آيَةٌ فِي كِتَابِكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَهَا لَوْ عَلَيْنَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ نَزَلَتْ لاَتَّخَذْنَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ عِيدًا. قَالَ أَىُّ آيَةٍ قَالَ { أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الإِسْلاَمَ }. قَالَ عُمَرُ قَدْ عَرَفْنَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَالْمَكَانَ الَّذِي نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ بِعَرَفَةَ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ
[Sahih Bukhari, Kitab Al-Imaan (2), Hadith 45]
Etiquettes on Preaching Islam
ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ ۖ وَجَادِلْهُم بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ ۖ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَ ۞
“Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who has strayed from His way, and He is most knowing of who is [rightly] guided.”
[Surah An-Nahl (16): Ayat 125]
Must Convey the Messenge of Islam
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ « بَلِّغُوا عَنِّي وَلَوْ آيَةً، وَحَدِّثُوا عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلاَ حَرَجَ، وَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ »
Narrated by Abdullah bin Amr (r.a) that the Prophet (s.a.w) said, “Convey to the people even if it were a single verse, and tell others the stories of Bani Israel, for it is not sinful to do so. And whoever tells a lie on me intentionally, will surely take his place in the (Hell) Fire.”
[Sahih Bukhari, Kitab Ahadith An-Anbiya (60), Hadith 3461]
Accept or Reject Israeli Narrations
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ يَقْرَءُونَ التَّوْرَاةَ بِالْعِبْرَانِيَّةِ وَيُفَسِّرُونَهَا بِالْعَرَبِيَّةِ لأَهْلِ الإِسْلاَمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ « لاَ تُصَدِّقُوا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ، وَلاَ تُكَذِّبُوهُمْ وَقُولُوا { آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْنَا وَمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ } الآيَةَ »
Narrated by Abu Hurairah (r.a), “The people of the book used to read the Torah in Hebrew and then explain it in Arabic to the Muslims. Allah’s Messenger (s.a.w) said (to the Muslims), ‘Do not believe the people of the book, nor disbelieve them, but say the Ayat, “We believe in Allah and whatever is revealed to us, and whatever is revealed to you.”’”
[Sahih Bukhari, Book on Holding to the Quran and Sunnah (96), Hadith 7362]
Do Not Force Islam on Others (1)
لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ ۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ ... ۞
“There shall be no compulsion in religion. The right course
has become clear from the wrong ...”
[Surah Al-Baqarah (2): Ayat 256]
Do Not Force Islam on Others (2)
وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِن وَمَن شَاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ ... ۞
“Say, ‘(It is) the truth from the Lord. Then whosoever will, let him believe, and whosoever will, let him disbelieve’ ...”
[Surah Al-Kahf (18): Ayat 29]
Do Not Force Islam on Others (3)
وَلَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ لَآمَنَ مَن فِي الْأَرْضِ كُلُّهُمْ جَمِيعًا أَفَأَنتَ تُكْرِهُ النَّاسَ حَتَّىٰ يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ ۞
“And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed - all of them entirely. Then, would you compel the people in order that they become believers?”
[Surah Yunus (10): Ayat 99]
The Prophet’s Wise Decision
عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ ... عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لَهَا « لَوْلاَ أَنَّ قَوْمَكِ حَدِيثُو عَهْدٍ بِالْجَاهِلِيَّةِ لَهَدَمْتُ الْكَعْبَةَ وَجَعَلْتُ لَهَا بَابَيْنِ » ...
Al-Aswad bin Yazid narrated that Ibn Zubair (r.a) said ... “She (Aisha) narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah said, ‘Had your people not been still close to the pre-Islamic period of ignorance, then I would demolish the Kabah and rebuild it with two doors.’” ...
[Tirmidhi, Kitab Al-Hajj (7), 875] (Sahih)
Self-Realisation of Aisha (r.a)
عَائِشَةَ تَقُولُ « مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ سَحْرِي وَنَحْرِي وَفِي دَوْلَتِي ، لَمْ أَظْلِمْ فِيهِ أَحَدًا ، فَمِنْ سَفَهِي وَحَدَاثَةِ سِنِّي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُبِضَ وَهُوَ فِي حِجْرِي ، ثُمَّ وَضَعْتُ رَأْسَهُ عَلَى وِسَادَةٍ ، وَقُمْتُ أَلْتَدِمُ مَعَ النِّسَاءِ ، وَأَضْرِبُ وَجْهِي »
Aisha (r.a) narrated, “Messenger of Allah died during my turn with (his head) on neck and chest. I did not wrong anyone, but it was my foolishness & adolescence that even though the Prophet (s.a.w) died in my lap, yet I placed his head on the pillow and together with the women, started crying and banging my face.”
[Musnad Ahmad, 26348] (Hasan)
Calling Towards Islam with Wisdom
وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الَّذِينَ يَخُوضُونَ فِي آيَاتِنَا فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَخُوضُوا فِي حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِ ۚ وَإِمَّا يُنسِيَنَّكَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَلَا تَقْعُدْ بَعْدَ الذِّكْرَىٰ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ ۞
“And when you see those who engage in [offensive] discourse concerning Our verses, then turn away from them until they enter into another conversation. And if Satan should cause you to forget, then do not remain after the reminder with the wrongdoing people.”
[Surah Al-Anam (6): Ayat 68]
Prophet ﷺ Preached Very Wisely
عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَتَخَوَّلُنَا بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ فِي الأَيَّامِ، كَرَاهَةَ السَّآمَةِ عَلَيْنَا
Narrated by Ibn Masud (r.a) that the Prophet used to take care of us in preaching by selecting a suitable time, so that we might not get bored.
[Sahih Bukhari, Kitab Al-Ilm (3), Hadith 68]
How the Companions used to Preach
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ حَدِّثِ النَّاسَ، كُلَّ جُمُعَةٍ مَرَّةً، فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَمَرَّتَيْنِ، فَإِنَّ أَكْثَرْتَ فَثَلاَثَ مِرَارٍ وَلاَ تُمِلَّ النَّاسَ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ، وَلاَ أُلْفِيَنَّكَ تَأْتِي الْقَوْمَ وَهُمْ فِي حَدِيثٍ مِنْ حَدِيثِهِمْ فَتَقُصُّ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَتَقْطَعُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَدِيثَهُمْ فَتُمِلُّهُمْ، وَلَكِنْ أَنْصِتْ، فَإِذَا أَمَرُوكَ فَحَدِّثْهُمْ وَهُمْ يَشْتَهُونَهُ ...
Ibn Abbas (r.a) narrated, “Preach to the people once a week, and if more, then preach them twice, but if more, then let it be three times, and do not make the people fed-up with Quran. If you find people engaged in talk, don’t start preaching, lest you should cause them to be bored. Rather keep quiet, till they ask you, then preach them when they are eager to hear ...”
[Sahih Bukhari, Kitab Ad-Dawaat (80), Hadith 6337]
The Foundation of Argument (1)
وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَبَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ نَّذِيرًا ۞ فَلَا تُطِعِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَجَاهِدْهُم بِهِ جِهَادًا كَبِيرًا ۞
“And if We had willed, We could have sent into every city a warner. So do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with the Qur'an a great striving.”
[Surah Al-Furqan (25): Ayat 51-52]
The Foundation of Argument (2)
لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ ۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ ۚ فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِن بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ لَا انفِصَامَ لَهَا ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ۞
“There shall be no compulsion in religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.”
[Surah Al-Baqarah (2): Ayat 256]
The Best Amongst Muslims (1)
وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِّمَّن دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ۞
“And who is better in speech than one who invites to Allah and does righteousness and (humbly) claims, ‘Indeed, I am of the Muslims.’”
[Surah Fussilat (41): Ayat 33]
The Best Amongst Muslims (2)
عَنْ عُثْمَانَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ « خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَهُ »
Narrated by Uthman (r.a) that the Prophet (s.a.w) said, “The best amongst you (Muslims) are those who learn the Quran and teach it.”

حَدَّثَتْنَا حَسْنَاءُ بِنْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الصَّرِيمِيَّةُ، قَالَتْ حَدَّثَنَا عَمِّي، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم : مَنْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ « النَّبِيُّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَالشَّهِيدُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَالْمَوْلُودُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَالْوَئِيدُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ »
Hasana daughter of Muawiyah narrated on the authority of her paternal uncle, who asked the Prophet (s.a.w) about the people in Paradise. He (s.a.w) replied, “Prophets are in Paradise, martyrs are in Paradise, infants are in Paradise and children buried alive are in Paradise.”

أَمْ كُنتُمْ شُهَدَاءَ إِذْ حَضَرَ يَعْقُوبَ الْمَوْتُ إِذْ قَالَ لِبَنِيهِ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن بَعْدِي قَالُوا نَعْبُدُ إِلَٰهَكَ وَإِلَٰهَ آبَائِكَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ إِلَٰهًا وَاحِدًا وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ ۞
“Or were you present when death approached Jacob, when he said to his sons, ‘Who will you worship after me?’ They said, ‘We will worship your God and the God of your fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac - one God. And we are Muslims [in submission] to Him.’”
[Surah Al-Baqarah (2): Ayat 133]
Four Contexts (4) - Witness
وَالَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ فَاجْلِدُوهُمْ ثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً وَلَا تَقْبَلُوا لَهُمْ شَهَادَةً أَبَدًا ۚ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ ۞

“O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm in justice, witnesses for Allah, even if it be against yourselves or parents and relatives ...”
[Surah An-Nisa (4): Ayat 135]
All Messengers Will Stand Witness
فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَىٰ هَٰؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا ۞
“How will it be, then, when We bring from every people a witness
and bring you as a witness against these?”

How Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Felt
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ « اقْرَأْ عَلَىَّ » قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ آقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَيْكَ أُنْزِلَ قَالَ « نَعَمْ » فَقَرَأْتُ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ إِلَى هَذِهِ الآيَةِ { فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ شَهِيدًا } قَالَ « حَسْبُكَ الآنَ » فَالْتَفَتُّ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ
Ibn Masood narrated, “Prophet (s.a.w) asked me, ‘Recite to me.’ I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Shall I recite while it has been revealed to you?’ He (s.a.w) said, ‘Yes.’ So I recited Surah An-Nisa, and when I recited the Verse, ‘How (will it be) then when We bring from each nation a witness and We bring you as a witness against these people.’ He (s.a.w) said, ‘Enough for now,’ I looked at him and his eyes were overflowing with tears.”
[Sahih Bukhari, Kitab Fazail Al-Quran (66), Hadith 5050]
When Noah ؑ will Stand Witness
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم « يَجِيءُ نُوحٌ وَأُمَّتُهُ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى هَلْ بَلَّغْتَ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ، أَىْ رَبِّ. فَيَقُولُ لأُمَّتِهِ هَلْ بَلَّغَكُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ لاَ، مَا جَاءَنَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ. فَيَقُولُ لِنُوحٍ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لَكَ فَيَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأُمَّتُهُ، فَنَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَّغَ، وَهْوَ قَوْلُهُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ { وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ } وَالْوَسَطُ الْعَدْلُ »
[Sahih Bukhari, Kitab Ahadith Al-Anbiya (60), Hadith 3339]
When Esa ؑ will Stand Witness
وَإِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ أَأَنتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُونِي وَأُمِّيَ إِلَٰهَيْنِ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِحَقٍّ ... ۞
“And when Allah will say, ‘O Isa son of Marium! did you say to men, Take me and my mother for two gods besides Allah?’ He (e.s) will say, ‘Glory be to Thee, it did not befit me that I should say what I had no right to (say) ...’”
[Surah Al-Maida (5): Ayat 116]
Demonstration of the Character
... فَقُلْتُ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْبِئِينِي عَنْ خُلُقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم . قَالَتْ أَلَسْتَ تَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ قُلْتُ بَلَى . قَالَتْ فَإِنَّ خُلُقَ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ الْقُرْآنَ ...
... I said, “O Mother of the believers, tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w).” She (Aisha) asked, “Do you not read the Quran?” I said, “Of course (I do).” She (r.a) said, “The character of the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w) was the Quran.” ...
[Sahih Muslim, Kitab Salat Al-Musafarin (6), 1739]
How the Chief of Yamamah Reverted
Narrated by Saeed bin Abi Saeed that Abu Hurairah (r.a) said, “Some cavalry was sent towards Najd ... the leader of the people of Yamamah. They tied him to one of the pillars of the Masjid, then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) came out to him and said, ‘What do you have to say, O Thumamah?’ He said, ‘... If you kill me, you will kill one who has shed blood, and if you show me kindness, you will be showing kindness to one who is grateful, and if you want money, then ask, and you will be given whatever you want.’ ... The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said, ‘Let Thumamah go.’ So he (Thumamah) ... said, ‘... O Muhammad, by Allah, there was no face on earth that was more hateful to me than your face, but now your face has become the dearest of all faces to me. By Allah, there was no religion on earth ...’ ...”
[Sahih Muslim, Kitab Al-Jihad (32), 4589]
Why of a Separate Muslim State?
“... I therefore demand the formation of a consolidated Muslim State in the best interests of India and Islam ... For Islam it will be an opportunity to rid itself of the stamp that Arabian Imperialism was forced to give it, to mobilize its laws, its education, its culture and bring them into closer contact with its own original spirit and with the spirit of modern times ...”
[Presidential Address by Muhammad Iqbal in Allahabad 1930]
Quaid-e-Azam on Islamic Economic System in Pakistan
“I shall watch with keenness the work of your Research Organisation in evolving banking practices compatible with Islamic ideals of social and economic life. The economic system of the West has created almost insoluble problems for humanity ...”
Inauguration of State Bank
“... and to many of us it appears that only a miracle can save it from [the] disaster that is now facing the world ... The adoption of western economic theory and practice will not help us in achieving our goal of creating a happy and contented people. We must work our destiny in our own way, ...”
“... and present to the world [an] economic system based on true Islamic concept of equality of manhood and social justice. We will thereby be fulfilling our mission as Muslims and giving to humanity the message of peace, which alone can save it and secure the welfare, happiness and prosperity of mankind.”
[https://www.sbp.org.pk/about/history/h_moments.htm]
“... I shall always be guided by the principles of justice and fair-play without any, as is put in the political language, prejudice or ill-will, in other words partiality or favouritism. My guiding principle will be justice and complete impartiality, and I am sure that with your support and co-operation, I can look forward to Pakistan becoming one of the greatest Nations of the world.”
