Get ready to celebrate the life and legacy of Quaid-e-Azam on December 25! This day marks the birthday of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan and also known as "Quaid-e-Azam" (meaning "Great Leader").

It's a time to reflect on his vision for a free and prosperous Pakistan, and to celebrate his enduring legacy.
