Signature

Muhammad Ali Jinnah (26 December 1876 – 11 September 1948) was one of the founders of Pakistan. He is also called Baba-e-Qaum, which means "the father of the nation" in Urdu. After the independence of Pakistan, he became the first Governor-General of Pakistan. As a mark of respect, Pakistanis call him Quaid-e-Azam.^[2] Quaid-e-Azam is a phrase which, in the Urdu language, means "the great leader". The day of his birth is a national holiday.
