In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Hazrat Umar (RA) is thought to have stopped the writing of Hadiths to avoid confusion with the Quran. He was concerned about mistakes due to the lack of reliable writing methods at that time. While his caution was understandable, it's essential to look at the history behind his choices.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses how our hearts may be less affected by the Quran today. He recalls that during Hazrat Abu Bakr's time, people would cry when hearing the Quran, but now many don’t feel that same emotion. He reminds us that everyone has different feelings and even the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) faced challenges in worship. The main idea is to keep our hearts open to the Quran.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the perfect Islamic community, like in the Prophet's time, is not present today. This unity will be restored with Imam Mahdi and Jesus (AS). Until then, Muslims should join any sincere Islamic group to maintain a sense of community. Living without such a connection is discouraged, even if current groups aren't ideal.

In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed talks about why some scholars believe establishing religion (Iqamat-e-Deen) isn't necessary. They think a believer's main role is just to invite others to Islam. He explains that since the Rightly Guided Caliphs, our view of religion has changed, leading to a split between religious and political leadership. This has caused confusion about the role of religion in our lives. Dr. Israr Ahmed urges the need to understand Islam fully again.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) gave his message to everyone, not just the elite. He welcomed both the rich and powerful, like Abu Bakr (RA) and Umar (RA), as well as common people like Bilal (RA). Islam was open to all, but people like Bilal (RA) are often mentioned more because they suffered the most for their faith.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed says that interest (riba) is forbidden in Islam, and we should use fair banking systems like mudarabah and musharakah (profit-sharing). But first, we need to remove interest completely. He points out that societies have worked without interest before and calls for strong leadership ready to make sacrifices to free the country from systems like the IMF.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that fighting for Allah’s sake (qital fisabilillah) can only happen under a true Islamic government or movement, which we don’t have right now. However, if attacked, defending ourselves is allowed and those who die are martyrs. He also says that peaceful efforts to spread Islam should continue, and the fight for freedom in Kashmir is justified.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed outlines two essential steps for establishing an Islamic state in Pakistan. On an individual level, people must stop engaging in sinful activities and fulfill their religious obligations. This personal reform is crucial for any real change. On a national level, the country's constitution, which currently includes both Islamic and non-Islamic elements, must be revised to align fully with Islamic principles. Only then can true progress be made towards an Islamic state.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains three types of groups. Tablighi Jamaat focuses on personal reform, spreading religious teachings, and avoids politics. Intikhabi Jamaat aims to change leadership through elections, working within the current system. Inqilabi Jamaat seeks to transform the entire system through revolutionary efforts. He distinguishes between theoretical politics, which analyzes problems and proposes solutions, and practical politics, which involves actions like elections. While both are important, theoretical politics is foundational for meaningful change.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that in matters where Islamic scholars (Imams) differ, only knowledgeable individuals with a deep understanding of the Qur'an, Sunnah, and Shariah should decide. The opinion closest to the Qur'an and the Prophet's teachings is preferred. However, an easier option may be accepted if it stays within Shariah guidelines.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explain that Allama Iqbal believed that the core of Western success is its focus on practical knowledge and science. He emphasized that ideas should be based on knowledge, not just imagination. This use of science and technology has given the West power in the world. He also noted that earlier civilizations, including Islamic ones, made similar advancements in the past.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Islam has two systems of giving: one mandatory, like zakat, and the other voluntary based on personal faith. Zakat is required when wealth surpasses a certain limit, but beyond that, believers are encouraged to reduce their needs and give extra in the path of Allah. This voluntary giving depends on one's belief in the greater rewards of the Hereafter.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that both men and women have the same religious duties like faith, prayer, fasting, and charity. While men usually pray in mosques, women are encouraged to pray at home. In spreading Islam, men have a broader public role, but women focus more on influencing their family. Even small efforts by women can have great value in Islam.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that although the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) addressed everyone, he focuses on intellectuals because they help shape society. To bring lasting change, the minds of these thinkers must be influenced. His organization, Tanzeem-e-Islami, encourages all Muslims to follow Islam fully and work towards creating an Islamic system. This duty belongs to every Muslim, not just scholars. If people don't appreciate this work, Allah will guide others who will.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Western society’s freedom from boundaries between relatives and non-relatives comes from a materialistic view that denies the soul and focuses only on the body. This view reduces humans to animals, ignoring their spiritual essence. Islam, however, teaches that humans are spiritual beings connected to God, and this loss of spirituality in the West is the root cause of moral and social problems.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains how to make capitalism more Islamic by adding three key principles: no interest (riba), giving charity (zakat), and focusing on helping the poor. Private ownership and competition are allowed in Islam, but without exploitation or unfair practices like gambling. The Islamic system encourages fair business while keeping personal needs simple and helping those in need.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses the guidelines for creative and research work. He says organizations can help by offering platforms like Quranic academies and courses. He encourages motivated individuals to join Quran colleges because teaching aligns well with studying subjects like Islamic studies and philosophy. Working in education provides more opportunities for personal and professional growth.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed highlights the importance of women in religious organizations, stressing that it doesn’t mean breaking Islamic rules. Men and women have different roles but can both attain spiritual heights. Women can do important work at home, while men pray in mosques. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) assured a woman that caring for home and children brings rewards similar to those of fighters in battles.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that bringing Islamic rule in just a village is not practical today because the world is too connected. Unlike in the past, global powers now watch everything closely. He says change needs to happen at the national level, not in small areas, and the global system will resist any effort to establish Islam.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Islamic revolutions started late because the Islamic system remained strong for the first 1000 years. It fully collapsed after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, leading to movements that focused more on fighting colonial powers than reviving Islam. Earlier rulers, though corrupt, still followed Islamic law, so a revolution wasn’t necessary. Now, the time has come to rebuild Islam based on the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
