Ghamidi's conclusions and understanding of Islam, including the Sharia, has been presented concisely in his book Mizan with the intention of presenting the religion in its pure shape, cleansed from tasawwuf, qalam, fiqh, all philosophies and any other contaminants.

Ghamidi's non-traditionalist approach to the religion has parted him from the conservative understanding on a large number of issues.
However, Ghamidi argues that his dissenting conclusions are at times based on traditional foundations set by classical scholars.
In his arguments, there is no reference to the Western sources, human rights or current philosophies of crime and punishment.
Nonetheless, employing the traditional Islamic framework, he reaches conclusions which are similar to those of Islamic modernists and progressives on the subject.
