Abstract
Javed Ahmad Ghamdi's trends are the continuation of Farahi's thought. Therefore, Javed Ahmad Ghamdi describes his efforts as Maulana Islahi's training. First of all, he distinguishes between Shariat and Fiqh. According to him, religion has two components, one part consists of wisdom and the other part consists of these moral principles and rules in the form of code. Jurisprudence also has two parts. The first part is the one in which the Shari'ah is interpreted, while the second part is the opinion of the jurists in matters of ijtihad. Therefore, according to him, the matter in which there is the command of Allah and the Messenger is the Shariah, and if any matter is ijtihad, then it is jurisprudence. According to Ghamdi, the right of ijtihad belongs to every expert who can speak with argument.If there is weight in the argument, it will be accepted, otherwise it will be abandoned Scholars will decide what is right and what is wrong. According to him, every human being can do ijtihad in every matter. There is no special qualification requirement. In the matter of ijtihad qualification, Ghamdi has a different opinion from Maulana Amin Ahsan Islahi. Mr. Ghamdi is also convinced of innovation in Argument style. According to him, rules can be made if there is a need for ijtihad. He says that the first rules were also made by humans. Therefore, there is no harm in creating new principles. He calls for revision of the ancient principles according to the requirements of the present age. It is very important to be familiar with the Arabic language while reasoning from the Holy Quran.. In this way, it is necessary to know the principles of jurisprudence. General principles should be understood from the Holy Qur'an, then these principles should be applied. The Qur'an cannot be abrogated by the hadith. Rather, Naskh does not happen at all. Ghamdi also differentiates between Hadith and Sunnah. Ghamdi's point of view about ijtihad is that if there is no clear guidance from the Qur'an and Sunnah about a real problem, we can use
intellect in this matter. Qiyas is a method of ijtihad, while consensus is the gathering of people on ijtihad or on a taweel, which can happen at any time.
