The Impact of Orientalists on Ghāmidī’s Theories

Year 2020, Volume: 9 Issue: 17, 20 - 28, 15.01.2020

Abstract

Jāved Ahmad Ghāmidī is a prominent scholar of Farāhī- Islāhī School of thought, his works welcomed in the contemporary literate class of Indo-Pak subcontinent due to his unorthodox approach to Islam. The superficial study of Jāved Ahmad Ghāmidī reveals that he quenched his theories from the classical Islamic Sources and did not refer to the Modern European Scholarship, which shows that every theory cognate to him and based on his research.

However, the profound comparative study of Ghāmidī piece of work shows that he studied fundamental theories like “the variant of readings, the sources of the religion, the division of Prophetic hadith, and reproval on the essential narrators of hadith” on the methodology of Orientalists. This study contains some instances from Jāved Ahmad Ghāmidī theories and on its roots that prove who introduced these theories and how Ghāmidī developed it.

Abstract

Jāved Ahmad Ghāmidī is a
prominent scholar of Farāhī- Islāhī School of thought, his works welcomed in
the contemporary literate class of Indo-Pak subcontinent due to his unorthodox
approach to Islam. The superficial study of Jāved Ahmad Ghāmidī reveals that he
quenched his theories from the classical Islamic Sources and did not refer to
the Modern European Scholarship, which shows that every theory cognate to him
and based on his research.



However, the profound
comparative study of Ghāmidī piece of work shows that he studied fundamental
theories like “the variant of readings, the sources of the religion, the
division of Prophetic hadith, and reproval on the essential narrators of
hadith” on the methodology of Orientalists. This study contains some instances
from Jāved Ahmad Ghāmidī theories and on its roots that prove who introduced
these theories and how Ghāmidī developed it.
