<P> Jinnah's legacy is Pakistan . According to Mohiuddin, "He was and continues to be as highly honored in Pakistan as (first US president) George Washington is in the United States...Pakistan owes its very existence to his drive, tenacity, and judgment...Jinnah's importance in the creation of Pakistan was monumental and immeasurable ." Stanley Wolpert, giving a speech in honour of Jinnah in 1998, deemed him Pakistan's greatest leader . </P> <P> According to Jaswant Singh, "With Jinnah's death Pakistan lost its moorings . In India there will not easily arrive another Gandhi, nor in Pakistan another Jinnah ." Malik writes, "As long as Jinnah was alive, he could persuade and even pressure regional leaders toward greater mutual accommodation, but after his death, the lack of consensus on the distribution of political power and economic resources often turned controversial ." According to Mohiuddin, "Jinnah's death deprived Pakistan of a leader who could have enhanced stability and democratic governance...The rocky road to democracy in Pakistan and the relatively smooth one in India can in some measure be ascribed to Pakistan's tragedy of losing an incorruptible and highly revered leader so soon after independence ." </P> <P> His birthday is observed as a national holiday, Quaid - e-Azam Day, in Pakistan . Jinnah earned the title Quaid - e-Azam (meaning "Great Leader"). His other title is Baba - i - Qaum (Father of the Nation). The former title was reportedly given to Jinnah at first by Mian Ferozuddin Ahmed . It became an official title by effect of a resolution passed on 11 August 1947 by Liaquat Ali Khan in the Pakistan Constituent Assembly . There are some sources which endorse that Gandhi gave him that title . Within a few days of Pakistan's creation Jinnah's name was read in the khutba at mosques as Amir - ul - Millat, a traditional title of Muslim rulers . </P> <P> The civil awards of Pakistan includes a' Order of Quaid - i - Azam' . The Jinnah Society also confers the' Jinnah Award' annually to a person that renders outstanding and meritorious services to Pakistan and its people . Jinnah is depicted on all Pakistani rupee currency, and is the namesake of many Pakistani public institutions . The former Quaid - i - Azam International Airport in Karachi, now called the Jinnah International Airport, is Pakistan's busiest . One of the largest streets in the Turkish capital Ankara, Cinnah Caddesi, is named after him, as is the Mohammad Ali Jenah Expressway in Tehran, Iran . The royalist government of Iran also released a stamp commemorating the centennial of Jinnah's birth in 1976 . In Chicago, a portion of Devon Avenue was named "Mohammed Ali Jinnah Way". The Mazar - e-Quaid, Jinnah's mausoleum, is among Karachi's landmarks . The "Jinnah Tower" in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, India, was built to commemorate Jinnah . </P>
