Every person in this world has a hero. People have heroes because they really admire that person and
they really look up to that person. They want to do what they have done and they have achieved in their
life. Like every person, I also have a hero. My hero had a great personality and a great heart. His name is
Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah. I choose him as my hero because I really admire him. I admire his
style, his personality and what he did for the Muslims of our country. He gave Muslims their freedom
from the British Empire that was ruling at that time.

Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah was born on Dec. 25th, 1876, to a prominent mercantile family in
Karachi. He was educated at the Sindh Madrassat-ul-Islam .

He got us, the Muslims, freedom by forming a political group called the Muslim League.The Muslim
league had a great impact on the nature of the Indian politics.

To get the Muslim people freedom, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah played a big role. He was the
only Muslim to stand up and rally all the Muslims together so they could have their freedom on Aug. 14,
1947. Before dying on Sept. 11th, 1948
