Urdu Debate: Javed Ahmed Ghamidi, Hassan Nisar and Orya Maqbool Jan – Democracy in the Quran?

Good thing, I had the foresight of downloading the video into the Muslim Times, as it has been removed from the YouTube under a false pretense:

Javed Ahmad Ghamidi (Urdu: جاوید احمد غامدی, romanizedJāvēd Aḥmad Ghāmidī; April 7, 1952)[3] is a Pakistani philosopher, educationist, and Scholar of Islam. He is also the founding President of Al-Mawrid Institute of Islamic Sciences and its sister organisation Danish Sara.[4]

He became a member of the Council of Islamic Ideology (responsible for giving legal advice on Islamic issues to the Pakistani Government and the country’s Parliament) on 28 January 2006, where he remained for a couple of years.[5] He also taught Islamic studies at the Civil Services Academy for more than a decade from 1979 to 1991.[6] He was also a student of Islamic scholar and exegete, Amin Ahsan Islahi. He is running an intellectual movement similar to Wasatiyyah, on the popular electronic media of Pakistan.[7] Currently he is Principal Research Fellow and Chief Patron of Ghamidi Center of Islamic Learning in United States.

  1. Jamhoriat is miss understood by Muslims due to their Mullahs Interpretation of Quran. Quran is a Scientific Book applicable for ALL AGES not for today. It’s interpretation change’s with environmental circumstances. Majority of Muslims are illiterate as for as Quran is concerned.
