Madr-e-Millat Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah

An icon of twentieth century politics, the architect of Pakistan (Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah), who founded a nation despite mighty odds and in-surmount able difficulties in reshaping Muslim identity and redrawing the World map, was convinced that it could have been hardly possible without his sister Fatima by his side.

It would not be out of context, neither a misnomer to state that Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah sacrificed the comforts and pleasures of an affluent life to help Jinnah overcome vicissitudes and bequeath a homeland to the Muslims.

She is the best example of a modern Muslim female person and a role model for Pakistani women. Being the replica of Quaid's ideas, she encouraged the Muslim women to come in the vanguard of Pakistan movement along with men. A fearless, courageous lady who always stood shoulder to shoulder with Jinnah during the Pakistan movement. After independence she worked for progress and development of Pakistani nation especially the women in all walks of life including the politics.

Miss Jinnah lived with her brother for about 28 years - including the last nineteen trying years of his life.
Quaid discussed various problems with her, mostly at the breakfast and dinner table. Paying tribute to her sister, the Quaid once said,

"My sister was like a bright ray of light and hope whenever I came back home and met her. Anxieties would have been much greater and my health much worse, but for the restraint imposed by her."

With Quaid-e-Azam
