About the Speaker
Javed Ahmad Ghamidi has written and lectured widely on the Qur'an, Islamic law and various other aspects of Islam. He appears regularly on various TV channels to discuss Islam and contemporary issues as a part of his campaign to educate people about Islam. He has drawn heavily from the Qur'anic thought of his two illustrious predecessors, Hamid al-Din Farahi and Amin Ahsan Islahi presenting many of their views in a more precise manner. However, many of his contributions to the Islamic thought are original. An original contribution of Ghamidi is his categorization of the contents of religion, which can be seen in his book Meezan which is an effort which spans almost two decades of both creative and critical thinking. The entire endeavor is a fresh interpretation of Islam from its original sources. He is the founder-president of Al-Mawrid Institute of Islamic Sciences (www.al-mawrid.org). He is also the chief editor of the Urdu Monthly "Ishraq" and the English Monthly "Renaissance".
