| Fatima Jinnah: Quaid-e-Azam’s ideal sister |
Great Muslim leaders from all over South Asia were on the forefront of the Pakistan Movement, and our women, especially Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah, popularly known and acclaimed as Mader-i-Millat (Mother of the Nation), resolutely stood side by side with them. The bold and committed women made relentless efforts and went from house to house to raise funds for the Pakistan Movement to prepare and encourage the people to make the sacrifice for the attainment of Pakistan and attract the world attention towards their great independence struggle.

| Fatima Ali Jinnah |
Daughter of Poonja Jinnahbhai, she was the closest to the Father of the Nation, Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, of a family of seven brothers and sisters, and she had the privilege of remaining Jinnah’s life-long companion till his death on September 11, 1948. She was an ideal sister in all respects, and she made untiring efforts for helping and looking after him. Miss Fatima Jinnah was not only a confidant, trusted advisor and closest political colleague but also a source of solace and strength to her brother in his strenuous struggle for Pakistan, bolstering his spirits in his moments of political tribulations. It would not be wrong to say that it was her whole-hearted care and support that the Quaid could devote his whole life for the creation of Pakistan. The Quaid particularly appreciated her efforts aimed at mobilising women because he was convinced that his mission would not be attained without the participation of Muslim women.
Born on July 30, 1893, Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah, was held in high esteem (one reason being that was Quaid’s sister), and her role in the freedom movement remained an active member of the national politics. She continued to work for the welfare of the people after the formation of Pakistan and the death of her brother until she died on this day in 1967 in Karachi. Madar-i-Millat was laid to rest inside Quaid-i-Azam`s mausoleum on 10th of July in Karachi.
