Prof Javed Ghamdi

Where is he? he is not to be seen anywhere on media. I understand he is not particularly admired for his “Islamic modernism” but he use to come on tv quite often earlier. Am i just missing his shows or he is gone somewhere or something. Please fill me in.

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

Could it be that Ghamdi was a puppet used by Musharraf to promote Musharraf's version of modern Islam and when Mushi baba is gone, so does that version of Islam and Mr Ghamdi too.

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

I don't know, you tell me?

I personally don't think Ghamdi came out with a new version of Islam, it was just that his way of looking at it was different and perhaps relevant to this time and age. Hard for alot of people to accept but funnily enough what they follow in life is alot more 'modern' Islam and in some cases i am not sure even if its Islam at all.

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

I dont think so !

I saw that piece of crap (GHAMDI) few weeks ago but If he was a puppet of MUSH then I hate MUSH as much as I hate Ghamdi,

Ghamdi was teaching a Mazhab Of Ghulam Ahmed Parwez

They do not USE any Aalims Tashree any Hadith any Tafseer to Understand Quran Any one can make tashree by reading THE BOOK so I read the Quran with meanings and Make my own Tafseer .

Munkir-e-Azab-e-Qabar ,

Munkir-e-Hadith-e-Rasool

Munkir-e-Sunat-e-Rasool

Munkir-e-SHariat-e-Muhammad

Munkir of all the Sunni or Shiaa Imamz

Munkir of etc etc
If you want to know more about this Fitna read a book called AINA_E_PARWAZIAT

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

Mind your language.

You can disagree with him or his point of view but that doesnt give you the right to address him in such a cheap manner. Not only is he alot older than you but also someone alot of us respect.

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

From whatever i have heard him, he does not go as far as Ghulam Ahmed Perveiz or the Quranites.

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

That's pretty easy to label someone as a potential kafir without any evidence so that people don't listen to him.

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

How can you claim that Ghamdi doesn’t believe in Sunna/Hadith etc? Atleast per his website he doesn’t trash Ahadith/Sunnah as you are claiming http://www.al-mawrid.org/pages/about_us.php

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

Following modern or western or more open minded life style is one thing, but altering Islam to fit one's satisfaction is another. We can be hypocrites for having more modern lifestyle and still want Islam to be in its purest form, but thats the way it is. Religion is flexible enough to accommodate modern needs, its just everyone want a fatwa these days 'can I do this and still be a good Muslim' and when an Alim gives ruling against it according to Sharia, we look at Ghamdi type of pseudo scholars for shelters.

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

They look like cousins don’t they? LOL

I’m not actually impressed with what he has to say they are many flaws to his arguments. The reason why he is liked and I too admire him for this is:

a) He keeps his cool - he has good manners and does not raise his voice and hence he come across as very sensible.

b) People have lost the art of critical thinking, they will sooner accept someone for what they say because it is easier for them to accept or because they like him rather than analysing the truth in what is being said.

however, for this reason he could more dangerous than the fanatical deviant speakers - because he has a sense of “niceness” about him.

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

It's already been mentioned quite a few times already that there will be people who will try to ammend/conspire and reinvent different meanings of the Holy Quran and Ahadees-e-mubarika.

Ghamdi for e.g....

People are so much senseless these days, and buffoon's like ghamdi use it to their cause. Plus extra benifits from countries with hidden agendas. Aish kero khao peeyo.

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

To add what you said, he and people like him just fill the gap much needed for those who could put some ‘logic’ to the religious affairs.

Most religious scholars have not been able to understand themselves (not been taught the art of argument and logic) let alone they could calmly explain religious rulings etc. at the level of common people.

There are people who accept anything when they are told : It is from God or the Prophet SAW.

Many others want something more and then these kind of ‘cool minded’ ‘moderate looking’ people come and get fame.

If someone has not studied religion, both kind of people easily can make that person believe what is not even religious. But these cool minded have stronger effect.

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

Do you mean to say that: because he seems cool minded there must be something fishy ?

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

I have seen only one program of him and the arguments that he gave for particular question was just BS.

The question was is it OKAY for MEN to work in Women Beauty Parlour

He gave some argument (don't remember exactly) and in the end he said .. YES now a days its okay. Then he added on top that the islam was revealed 1400 years ago and all these things were not there are that time. So we can not say islam has prohibited these things.

I was like WTH .. .. islam is for all the time .. yesterday, today and tomorrow .. .. .. and we have our basic grounds .. .. no matter how advance the world could be.

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

What is Islamic Modernism or Moderate Islam?

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

Gamdi fans, please go through these detailed rebuttals of this man before you start following him…

I can understand why our “enlightened moderation” party and some of those who are against “the four schools of fiqh”, are all for ghamdi, but i believe a lot of people fell in his (and others like him) trap just because they have been a bit detached with their religion in recent years or so. I’m sure if you read the above (which is quite detailed and quotes mr ghamdi’s own books and clearly explains why he’s wrong) you will be able to see the real face of this guy

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

yes he does not dare directly reject Ahadith and Sunnah, but read the links i posted above, and you will find out his way around this…

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

he is still on TV he does shows for PTV, but was out of the country for a bit after being threatened by the taliban

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

As I mentioned above, the cool minded is the way to go during this era.

There was a time when emotional person and crying person in the court could get favor in the court of law, this kind of emotionally charged
and rhetoricals have actually worked against people when faced in public.

Hence a firey Mullah and Aalim, no matter how right he would be will be considered just a slave of his emotions and doofus in front of people
who think a calm and cool mannerism with 'logical' method (no matter how wrong or ludicrous or ridiculous they may be) is always correct.

It's the way you say makes the biggest difference, not what you really say.

Re: Prof Javed Ghamdi

Dude that is a really twisted way of checking someones credibility!

@Aceones >> Your links don't work. Post'em again!
