The death anniversary of Muhammad Ali Jinnah is observed in Pakistan every September 11. This day honors Jinnah, known as Quaid-i-Azam or the Great Leader, who is regarded as the father of the nation. Jinnah was born in 1876 in Karachi and played a pivotal role in the partition of British India, leading to the creation of Pakistan in 1947, where he served as the first Governor-General. Although the day is not a public holiday, it is marked by official events that include solemn speeches, special prayers, a 21-gun salute, and functions at schools. Jinnah passed away from pneumonia on September 11, 1948, and his legacy continues to be commemorated through these observances.
