Source wikipediaKhaliq Dina Hall and Library was built in 1906, although Khaliqdinas library foundation was established in 1856 as the Native General Library.The building was named after local philanthropist and merchant Ghulam Hussain Khaliqdina, who was instrumental in the establishment of the Sindh Madressatul Islam. Khaliqdina was raised in the Khoja tradition of Shia Islam, but was condemned by the Aga Khan for his involvement with the Twelver branch of Shia Islam, leading him to renounce the Khoja tradition and eventually become a Twelver himself.In 1902, Khaliqdina donated 18,000 rupees out of the total cost of 33,000 rupees towards construction of the building,while the remaining 15,000 rupees were provided by the Karachi Municipal Corporation. Khaliq Dina Hall was used as the court for the 1921 Trial of Sedition in which British authorities put Maulana Shaukat Ali and Maulana Mohammad Ali Jouhar on trial for mutiny as they made speeches in support of the Khilafat Movement.On 20 February 1949, the first session of the Pakistan Muslim League Council was held in the hall, and was attended by Pakistans first Prime Minister, Liaquat Ali Khan. The hall was also used after Pakistans independence as a site for Majlis during the last ten days of Muharram, which were addressed by the eminent Islamic scholar Allama Rasheed Turabi.In 1970, Dada Amir Haider Khan, a Communist activist, gave a speech in the hall. The hall was also used the Pakistans leftist National Students Federation as a site for their meetings.In 1993, the original roof of the building collapsed in a heavy rainstorm.
