Famous Places around the Globe Named in Honor of Jinnah

Through the waves of time, there stood men who altered history; strong men
who fought difficult battles to bring influential events to a successful conclusion.
One such example is that of our Founding Father, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali
Jinnah.

Muhammad Ali has not only played a central part in shaping the dream of
Pakistan into a reality, but also helped to establish the state as a new member of
the world community. His efforts are recognized world-wide and an English
newspaper, The Times, even wrote this in regard of his work: “Mr. Jinnah was
something more than Quaid-e-Azam, he was more than the architect of the
Islamic nation he personally called into being. Few statesmen have shaped
events to their policy more surely than Mr. Jinnah. He was a legend even in his
lifetime.”

Many famous places in countries like America, England, and Turkey are named
after the legendry Jinnah.
