In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed says that lying in business is forbidden, and honest traders are highly valued in Islam. He believes prices should be set by competition rather than strict controls, except in cases of monopoly. Artificial controls can lead to problems like black markets. Overall, fair competition and supply-demand align with Islam, but practices like interest and gambling are not allowed.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that waswasay, or disturbing thoughts, are caused by Shiatan and cannot be completely stopped because Allah allows them. People have the choice not to act on these thoughts, and focusing on Allah and strengthening faith can help reduce them. Worrying too much about worldly matters gives Shiatan more chances to disturb you, but feeling troubled by these thoughts shows strong faith.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed advises that, despite high costs, we should try our best to earn a halal (lawful) income and avoid clear haram (forbidden) actions like bribery. God understands sincere efforts and may overlook minor issues if we’re genuinely trying. If a job pressures you toward haram practices, it’s better to switch to lawful work, even if it’s challenging.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed clarifies the difference between sadqa and qarz-e-husna. Sadqa refers to voluntary donations given to help the poor, orphans, and those in need. In contrast, qarz-e-husna is a loan provided to support efforts that promote Islam and its teachings. Essentially, sadqa aids individuals directly, while qarz-e-husna focuses on strengthening the faith and community.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains the difficulty of maintaining faith during tough economic times. He urges Muslims to stay committed to their religion and study the Quran. He encourages different Islamic groups to work together and trust in Allah, who provides help in unexpected ways. Overall, he highlights the importance of unity and deepening faith to face today’s challenges.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains how to develop sincerity in good deeds. He advises performing acts of kindness secretly, like praying at night or giving charity without telling others. This approach helps build a habit of sincere actions. By doing good quietly, you can strengthen your intentions over time.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed teaches that for major sins to be forgiven, one must sincerely repent by feeling genuine regret, stopping the sin, and promising not to do it again. For sins committed against others, it's important to apologize, repair any damage, or give charity if the person has died. This approach ensures true repentance and leads to forgiveness.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that true change, or inqlab, isn’t possible with quick fixes. Each person should begin by correcting their own life and following Islamic principles at home. However, lasting change in society needs patience and long-term effort, like the steady approach of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). He advises focusing on personal reform and trust in Allah for results, rather than expecting instant change.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Islam’s foundation is about following core principles, but extremism ("bunyad parasti") is not part of Islam. He says that while Muslims should stay firm on their beliefs, they shouldn’t be labeled as extremists. The term "fundamentalism" was first used to criticize Jews and Christians who resisted changes to their religion, and now it’s used against different religious groups, not just Muslims.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed highlights that in Pakistan, many religious scholars approach their roles as jobs, prioritizing power and control over their true duty of guiding people. According to him, their real responsibility, as outlined in the Quran, is to promote goodness, prevent wrongdoings, and lead people toward the right path. However, many scholars neglect this duty out of fear of losing followers or support.
In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed discusses whether buying items on installments is permissible in Islam. He argues that paying a higher price than the cash price is a form of interest (riba), despite some scholars allowing it. He also critiques prize bonds as a form of gambling, where winnings depend on chance. In his view, both practices involve earning interest, which he considers haram.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that astrology and palmistry are discouraged in Islam, as they lead people away from trusting Allah’s guidance. While some may believe these practices hold truth, Islam prohibits relying on them. Instead, Muslims should seek guidance from the Quran and Sunnah. Focusing on hard work and faith is the correct path, rather than turning to superstitions.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about the need for Muslims to establish Islamic leadership (Khilafat) and questions if it's required by the Quran. He wonders if democracy can create an Islamic government and why Muslim leaders don’t unite. He also reflects on Jinnah's vision for Pakistan and says the lack of clear purpose and leadership has led to disunity among Muslims. Dr. Israr Ahmed warns that without strong leadership, Muslims will continue to face problems and decline.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains a hadith about two important armies. One will fight in India, and the other will support Prophet Isa (AS). He suggests that when an Islamic caliphate is established, likely starting from Pakistan and Afghanistan, these armies will emerge to fight in India and later move towards Jerusalem, fulfilling the prophecy of the black flags from Khorasan.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed clarifies that not every fight for an Islamic government is jihad fi sabilillah (struggle for Allah). True jihad promotes Islamic values, like in the early caliphate. In Kashmir, freedom fighters are involved in jihad-e-hurriyat, which is valid but may not be true jihad unless it aligns with Islamic goals. Dr. Israr Ahmed states that an Islamic government must follow Islamic teachings; otherwise, its legitimacy can be questioned.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that to bring about an Islamic revolution in Pakistan, around 200,000 dedicated people are needed. However, the exact timing and decision depend on the circumstances at that moment. Success or failure is ultimately in Allah's control. Even if the effort doesn’t succeed, the struggle remains valuable.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that people from different Islamic sects, including Jaferi (Shia), can join Tanzeem-e-Islami if they respect the Sahaba and the rightly-guided caliphs. He emphasizes unity on core Islamic beliefs while allowing diversity in sects. Sectarian differences like Barelvi and Deobandi are seen as cultural, not fundamental. True religious guidance, he says, should come from authentic Islamic teachings, not dreams or visions.
In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed talks about the need to earn the trust of scholars (ulama) for any movement to succeed. He explains that Tanzeem-e-Islami has difficulty gaining their support and lacks enough scholars. Dr. Israr Ahmed expresses concern about the future since scholars are important in society. He shares his disappointment in connecting with them because many fear losing their community support. He also mentions that religious groups have strong connections that are hard to change.
