Abstract: In this message addressed to the International Islamic Conference, with delegates from 16 nations, Miss Fatima Jinnah expresses her hope that their decisions will help obliterate poverty from their lands. She emphasizes that through cooperation, the citadel of poverty must be stormed, and urges delegates to find solutions to misery and depression based on the teachings of Islam, which champion equality, fairplay, and justice. Miss Jinnah notes that the idea of holding the conference emanated from the late Quaid-e-Azam, whose spirit guides their deliberations, and she stresses the importance of unity among economically weak Muslim states to exploit their own natural advantages and hold their own in world politics.
