Abstract: This is a formal letter written on the letterhead of The Grand Muslim Union (an Islamic missionary and religious society founded by Dr. M.A. Al-Haj Salim in 1931) in Bombay. Dated 15 June 1937, it is addressed to M.A. Jinnah at his residence on Little Gibbs Road. The letter, signed by the President, respectfully requests Jinnah to appoint a time for a meeting at his earliest convenience. The purpose stated is to discuss "the present useful activity for the Muslims."

Description: This letter represents an instance of a religious and community-based organization seeking the engagement of M.A. Jinnah, a prominent political leader, in the late 1930s. It illustrates the intersection of socio-religious activism with the political sphere during a period of increasing political mobilization among Indian Muslims. The bilingual letterhead (Arabic/English) reflects the organization's Islamic identity and its operational context in British India. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
