II. The Premise
|
3. This premise has been developed on the basis of research carried out by Javed Ahmad Ghamidi (b: 1951). For details see: Ghamidi, Usul-u-Mabadi, 1st ed., (Lahore: Danish Sara, 2000), pp. 55-8 / Ghamidi, Mizan, 1st ed., (Lahore: Daru’l- Ishraq, 2001), pp. 183-204. It would be pertinent to note here Ghamidi’s research itself is based on the seminal works of his two predecessors: Hamidu’l-Din Farahi (d: 1930) and his pupil Amin Ahsan Islahi (d: 1997). |
