Ghamidi says the Qur’an’s “Book and Wisdom” are the contents of Deen, while Sunnah carries the practical part.

1. GCIL PODCAST - Javed Ahmed Ghamidi continues “Response to 23 Questions - Part 152” on “What is Hadith ( Hadees Kya Hai ).” 2. Javed Ahmed Ghamidi is the main speaker, and the host presses him on Surah Jummah and the meaning of “al-Kitab wal-Hikmah.” 3. The episode asks whether the Prophet’s duty was to explain Deen as a formal responsibility or to convey it through recitation, teaching, and lived Sunnah. 4. The discussion starts with the phrase “huwa allazi ba’asa fil ummeena rasoolan minhum yatloo alaihim ayatihi,” which the host links to the Prophet’s mission. 5. Ghamidi first examines the Arabic word “Allama,” saying it can mean both informing and teaching, depending on context. 6. He gives “Ar-Rahmanu allama al-Qur’an” as an example and says the verb can mean delivering revelation, not only explaining a text. 7. He then turns to “Kitab” and says Arabic uses it for a written book, a letter, and also orders or legal commands. 8. To support that point, he cites Qur’anic usage like “kama kutiba ‘alal-lazeena min qablikum” for fasting and “hatta yablughal kitab ajaluh.” 9. Ghamidi places the Qur’an in a broader revelation history that includes the Torah, Zabur, and Injil before the final Qur’an. 10. He says the Torah is law, the Zabur is worship-oriented devotion, and the Injil centers on wisdom, morality, and the inner reality of Deen. 11. He argues that the Qur’an combines wisdom, law, and warning in 114 surahs, so it is not just a legal text or a moral text. 12. He says “yatloo alaihim ayatihi” means the Prophet recites Qur’an as “inzar” and “tazkeer” before people who do not believe. 13. On his reading, the first task is to establish Allah’s proof through public recitation, not to provide later commentary on an already delivered message. 14. He says “al-Kitab wal-Hikmah” refers to the contents of Deen, including aqa’id, akhlaq, and shariah. 15. He adds that the practical part of Deen, such as Salah, Roza, and Hajj, comes through the Prophet’s Sunnah and inherited prophetic practice. 16. He repeatedly says the Prophet conveys what is in the Qur’an, teaches the believers, and carries forward the Sunnah in the community. 17. The tone is instructional and argument-driven, with the host interrupting for clarification and Ghamidi answering point by point. 18. The format is a structured theological Q&A, with Arabic phrases, Urdu explanation, and repeated reference to Surah Jummah and Surah Baqarah. 19. Listeners interested in Qur’anic interpretation, Hadith, and Sunni legal theory. 20. Listeners seeking a short devotional summary without argument detail.

As heard by us

A careful, text-led inquiry into Hadith, the Book and Wisdom, and the structure of religious knowledge.

This session keeps to a narrow question and treats it with care: what Hadith means, how it relates to the Book and Wisdom, and why the shift from direct teaching to later narration matters.
