Abstract: This three-page letter to M.A. Jinnah from an unidentified Muslim correspondent begins with the writer's personal dilemma between an academic career and full-time politics. The core of the letter proposes a strategic initiative for the All-India Muslim League: leveraging Friday sermons (Khutbahs) in mosques across India to educate millions of Muslims about the League's political and economic agenda. The writer argues this would combat widespread ignorance and create a mass base guided directly by the League, countering misleading propaganda from opponents. The correspondent also mentions his own success in lecturing about Islam and countering Ahmadi perspectives, suggesting such approaches could help implement this nationwide educational program.

Description: This collection consists of three scanned pages of a handwritten letter addressed to M.A. Jinnah. The document represents a grassroots perspective on strengthening the Muslim League's reach and influence. It highlights the awareness among ordinary Muslims of the communication gap between the League's leadership and the masses, and proposes a practical solution using religious institutions for political education. The letter also reflects the personal aspirations of educated Muslims who sought direction from Jinnah in balancing personal careers with community service, illustrating Jinnah's role as a mentor and focal point for political mobilization within the Muslim community.
