Ghamidi Sahab's Sunnat Vs. Ijma's Sunnat
1- Islamic history was not homogenous as is shown to us today; rather, there was a huge diversity of opinions. And most of the ideas that modern scholars say can be traced back to classical thought as these things were discussed. It’s not like there was complete agreement on everything until Ghamdi Sahab and yes, even conceptualizations of sunnah were varied. 2- In the case of this being a unique opinion of Javed Ghamdi, so what? The previous scholars were also humans and they need not be right all the time. These are human opinions and human interpretations, and Javed Ghamdi has every right to present his own opinion. Just because a classical scholar said something, it does not mean they were right. There are many issues in which they were in the wrong due to misconceptions and blind following. We now have the vantage point that many of these previous scholars did not, so we can discern and think for ourselves.
