Mr Jinnah was something more than Quaid-i-Azam, supreme head of the state, to the people who followed him: he was more than even the architect of the Islamic nation he personally called into being. He commanded their imagination as well as their confidence. In the face of difficulties which might have overwhelmed him, it was given to him to fulfill the hope foreshadowed in the inspired vision of the great Iqbal by creating for the Muslims of India a homeland where the old glory of Islam could grow afresh into a modern state, worthy its place in the community of nations. Few statesmen have shaped events to their policy more purely than Mr. Jinnah. He was a legend even in his lifetime. Editorial: The Times, London September 13, 1948
