Old French word nacion, which in turn
originates from the Latin word natio (nt)
literally meaning "that which has been
born".

Nation

A nation may refer to a community of

people who share a common language,
culture, ethnicity, descent , or history.

territory and government (for example
the inhabitants of a sovereign)
irrespective of their ethnic make-up.

group of people, 'country' emphasizes the physical
dimensions
and boundaries of a geographical area, and 'state' a
self-governing legal and political entity.

countries, Pakistan as a new state

August 1947 on the basis of two
nation theory.

Definition of two nation theory

The two-nation theory is the ideology that
the primary identity of Muslims on the
subcontinent is their religion, rather than
their language or ethnicity, and therefore
Indian Hindus and Muslims are two distinct
nationalities, regardless of ethnic or other
commonalities. The two-nation theory was
a founding principle of the Pakistan
Movement and the partition of India in
1947.

The movement for Muslim self-awakening and identity was

started by the many Muslim modernist and reformer such
as;

The scholar Al-Biruni (973-1048)in his thesis in theme and

Shah Waliullah (1703 - 1763)

tone

Sir Syed Ahmad Khan (18171898).

The poet philosopher Muhammad Iqbal (18771938)
Muhammad Ali Jinnah (18761948)

 The phenomena of two nation theory

originated with the advent of Islam in the
Sub-Continent in 712.
The concept of two nation theory originated
that day, the first Hindu converted to
Muslim.
The Hindus and Muslims had been living
together for centuries in the Sub-continent
but they have separate social system,
separate culture and different civilization.

Prominent Pakistani politician Altaf Hussain of

Muttahida Qaumi Movement believes history has
proved the two-nation theory wrong. A
newspaper report quotes him saying
The two-nation theory died with the break-up
of the country in 1971.
After the secession of East Pakistan, in 1971, only a
third of the Muslims of South Asia resided in the
"new" Pakistan, making it difficult for Pakistani
leaders to defend the two-nation theory.

 Conclusion
Islamic ideology is not merely a matter of belief,
dogma and ritual. It is a religion in the wider
sense of the word. It is a way of life, a whole
complex of social and moral norms entwined with
theological metaphysics. The fundamental
teachings of Islam are universally accepted. Belief
in God, finality of prophet-hood, human rights and
social justice, management of affairs through
consensus, moral values of charitableness,
tolerance and universal brotherhood; these are
sonic of the cardinal principles enshrined by the
Quran and Sunnah. The only force which keeps
Muslim nation united is Islam which is the
ideological foundation of Pakistan.
