Abstract

The words and deeds of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the speech and approval that is found in the religion besides the Quran, The terms Sunnah and hadith are common for this. They are usually used in the synonymous sense. That is, the meaning of the Sunnah is the same as that of the hadith. Mr. Javed Ahmad Ghamdi holds contrary opinion for both these terms. He makes clear distinctions. He is convinced of the difference in their evidence as well as in their meaning and significance. Some scholars consider this position to be wrong from the point of view of scholars and consider it against the views of jurists and narrators. Zayed Al-Rashidi writes in one of his articles entitled "Javed Ghamdi's Concept of Sunnah" that "According to Javed Ghamdi, Sunnah is not based on any rules and regulations on the basis of which one can decide whether any work is Sunnah or non-Sunnah." Yes, but the Sunnah is the name of a list of things in which there can be no increase or decrease in any reference. Yanghamdi writes that the thought and method is in accordance with the thought and method of the Salaf Imams. The fact is that the Salaf and the Muhaddithin have not made any distinction between the meaning of Sunnah and Hadith. They consider both Sunnah and Hadith to be synonymous and synonymous. No Imam Muhaddith or Faqih has said so. According to them, Hadith and Sunnah are synonymous and synonymous. What is proved by the words, deeds and speech of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is a victory in the religion. Say Hadith or Sunnah, it's the same thing. This study declares that perception of Ghamidi's about Sunnah and Hadith is differ from other jurists.
