Was Jinnah a Shia or a Sunni? ... Khaled Ahmed (The Friday Times)
26 Aug 2012     Views: 9203
After 1947, Pakistan adopted the position of denying that the population of the country was divided between Shias and Sunnis, among others. The census that followed took account of Muslims and non-Muslims but ignored the sects: it was also an indirect pledge of the state that it would not discriminate on the basis of sect. The founder of the state, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, although himself a Twelver Shia after conversion from the Ismaili sect, was wont to describe himself in public as neither a Shia nor a Sunni. His stock answer to a query about his sect was: was Muhammad the Prophet [pbuh] a Shia or a Sunni?

In response to a question regarding the religious persuasion and creed of the Quaid-i-Azam, Mr Hussain said that all the students of history should note it down that it was proven from historical facts that the founder of Pakistan Quaid-i-Azam earlier belonged to Ismaili sect.
