In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that optional (Nafl) fasting on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of the lunar month is very rewarding, as it's like fasting the whole month.

After Ramadan, fasting six days in Shawwal is recommended for extra blessings.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that working in a bank is not allowed because banks are based on interest, which is haram.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that striving for the establishment of Islam (Iqamat-e-Deen) is a personal duty for every Muslim.

Dr. Israr also advises against criticizing other religious groups for their methods.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed says it's not proven from the Prophet (PBUH) or his companions to ask Allah by mentioning the Prophet's name in prayers. He warns that adding such practices can lead to confusion. The safest way is to pray like the Sahaba did and stick to their methods, as religion should be based on the actions of the Prophet (PBUH) and his companions, not later additions.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed says in the afterlife, people will be judged based on what they know. More knowledge means more responsibility. Avoiding learning to escape responsibility is wrong. On Judgment Day, everyone will be asked about their life, youth, wealth, and actions. Belief alone isn’t enough—actions also count.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Surah Baqarah is placed at the start of the Quran because, in the early days of Islam, faith came first, followed by rules. Now, people are born as Muslims, so the focus is on practicing Islamic laws, and faith grows stronger with time and understanding. The wisdom behind this order is known best by Allah.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that asking for help directly from the Prophet (PBUH) or others, believing they have power from the unseen, is shirk (wrong). However, saying "Ya Rasool Allah" in poetry or metaphorically is not shirk. Help should always be asked from Allah, who may send help through angels or people, but we should pray only to Him for anything beyond normal, physical assistance.
In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed explains the difference between doing shirk (associating partners with Allah) and being called a mushrik (one who regularly does shirk). Just committing shirk doesn’t mean someone becomes a mushrik right away. He also advises not to avoid congregational prayers, even if you don't want to pray behind a certain person, as long as their beliefs are correct.

In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed discusses if reading the Quran or sending blessings before the Azan is allowed. He explains that some people do this to help them focus on prayer.

In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed explains how to stay focused during prayer (namaz) by concentrating on the afterlife and love for Allah.

In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed discusses cloning and warns that it can be dangerous if misused. He relates it to the Dajjal, a symbol of confusion.

The clip highlights the need to use science wisely while following spiritual values.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that horoscopes and astrology might have some truth but are not allowed in Islam. Believing in predictions based on stars or birthdates goes against the teachings of the Quran.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that a man should balance the rights of both his wife and mother, especially when conflicts happen.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses how prophethood is linked to certainty (yaqeen). He explains that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) sought certainty and was born with the potential for faith.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about the struggle to avoid sins and the guilt that comes with them. He advises reading and understanding the Quran in Arabic for a stronger faith. True repentance means sincerely deciding not to repeat the sin, and it's essential to seek forgiveness for wrongs done to others, as Allah cannot compensate for those.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explained that Luqman should be referred to as "Rehmatullah Alaih" (may Allah have mercy on him) because "RA" is for companions and "AS" is for prophets. He stressed the importance of using the correct terms to show respect for their different statuses in Islam.
