In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the British suppressed Muslims and supported Hindus in India because Muslims were the previous rulers and posed a threat of rebellion. The British used a "divide and rule" strategy to create divisions between Hindus and Muslims. Hindus, who had resented Muslim rule for centuries, embraced Western education, while Muslims were kept down.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Islam didn’t reach the Indian subcontinent during the Prophet Muhammad’s (SAW) time. It first came later through Arab traders and Muhammad bin Qasim’s conquest of Sindh. This early Islam was straightforward and free from divisions. However, after Muhammad bin Qasim was recalled and killed, the spread of Islam slowed down. It wasn’t until 300 years later that Islam started to grow more in the region.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Ayat al-Kursi highlights Allah's supreme authority and self-sustaining existence. It emphasizes that no one can overpower Him, and everything in the universe, including our lives, belongs to Him. Allah’s knowledge and power are absolute, and nothing can escape His protection. The verse serves as a strong affirmation of Tawhid, the oneness of Allah. It is considered the leader of all Quranic verses.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Shirk-e-Khafi, or hidden shirk, happens when someone does good deeds like praying, fasting, or giving charity to show off to others instead of doing it sincerely for Allah. He emphasizes that even small actions done for attention can be considered hidden shirk, which is hard to notice but very serious. To avoid this, he advises being sincere and doing everything purely for the sake of Allah.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that in Islam, bowing or prostrating to anyone other than Allah is strictly forbidden. While it was once allowed as a sign of respect in earlier times, Islam's teachings have since made it clear that such acts should be reserved only for Allah. He also criticizes practices like bowing deeply in respect to leaders, as these actions can resemble worship and are considered shirk, meaning associating others with Allah. True submission and devotion should be directed to Allah alone.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that seeking help from anyone other than Allah is considered shirk (associating partners with Allah). While it's permissible to ask for practical help from others in everyday matters, asking for divine aid or intervention from anyone other than Allah, such as saints or angels, is not allowed. The proper approach is to pray directly to Allah, who has promised to respond to such prayers.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed emphasizes that our love for Allah should always be greater than love for anything else, including family and wealth. If anything else becomes more important than Allah, it is considered shirk. True faith requires putting Allah first in all aspects of life. This often means being ready to sacrifice worldly attachments. Prioritizing Allah above all else defines true devotion.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the biggest form of shirk today is believing in human authority over Allah's rule. He says that thinking humans have the ultimate power, like ancient rulers did, is a serious mistake. Dr. Israr warns that modern ideas like democracy and materialism, which prioritize human decisions and worldly things over Allah, are also forms of shirk. He highlights that while people recognize obvious shirk, they often miss these hidden forms that are common today.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the greatest jihad is fighting against your own desires (nafs). He describes how resisting laziness, like getting up for prayer, is a form of this struggle. He also warns against making your desires your god, which is a form of shirk (associating others with Allah).

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses "shirk" (associating partners with Allah) and "hijrat" (migration). He says the best hijrat is leaving anything that Allah dislikes. He encourages people to reflect on their actions and give up anything that goes against Islam, focusing on spiritually distancing themselves from disobedience to Allah.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed describes shirk as the act of worshiping or obeying anyone or anything other than Allah. Shirk in worship means directing worship to others besides Allah, while shirk in obedience occurs when you follow others in ways that contradict Allah's commands. It’s important to follow others only if it aligns with Allah’s guidance, and not let personal desires override divine rules, as doing so is considered a serious error.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that true worship involves both deep love and complete obedience to Allah. When you love Allah fully, your obedience becomes worship. He warns against worshipping things like fame or power, emphasizing that only Allah deserves this devotion. True worship is an expression of love and submission to Allah.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about the rights of Allah on Muslims, focusing on worship as a key duty. He explains that worship goes beyond rituals like prayer and fasting; it includes living life according to Allah's commands in all matters. He emphasizes that obedience to Allah should be complete and constant, as Islam is not just a religion but a complete guide for living. He also notes that all prophets, including Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), called people to worship Allah alone.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about "Ilm-e-Ghaib" (knowledge of the unseen) in Islam. It explains that Ghaib includes things we cannot see, like angels, though Prophet Muhammad (SAW) saw them in their true form. The Prophet's knowledge is given by Allah, not something he has on his own, and it's not unlimited. The speaker stresses that we should be careful when discussing the extent of the Prophet's knowledge, as only Allah knows everything. The key point is that we must understand our limits in comprehending these matters.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that humans cannot fully grasp Allah’s limitless attributes because our understanding is limited. Believing in multiple realities or partners to Allah is wrong. Allah’s existence and qualities, like His power and knowledge, are beyond our comprehension. Worldly comparisons cannot capture their true nature. Only Allah’s attributes are infinite and absolute.

In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed explains the difference between human knowledge and divine knowledge. He talks about how humans learn through their senses and brains, leading to scientific progress. He also discusses how different philosophies and religions have tried to answer big questions about life, existence, and God. Dr. Israr Ahmed criticizes beliefs that mix God with creation or human form, emphasizing the importance of Tawheed (the oneness of God) in Islam, along with belief in prophethood and the Quran.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses the worst type of shirk, which is believing that Allah has partners or children. This includes false beliefs like angels being Allah’s daughters or Jesus being His son. Such ideas are severe insults to Allah's greatness. These wrong beliefs have appeared in different historical communities. It’s important to understand and avoid these serious errors. Recognizing these mistakes helps maintain the purity of worship.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that shirk, or associating partners with Allah, is a severe wrongdoing with three main types: shirk in belief (misconceptions about Allah), shirk in actions (acting as though others share in Allah's authority), and shirk in attributes (attributing divine qualities to others). He highlights that shirk is the opposite of Tawhid (pure monotheism) and is an unforgivable sin according to the Quran. This concept is fundamental in understanding the gravity of placing anything or anyone in Allah's divine position.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that hypocrisy (nifaq) develops when someone loves wealth and the world too much. To prevent or cure it, he advises giving generously in the way of Allah. By doing this, a person can weaken the hold of materialism on their heart. If not addressed, hypocrisy can lead to a rejection of truth and opposition to sincere believers. The best way to overcome this is to keep spending and remain mindful of Allah.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed teaches that regular remembrance of Allah (zikr) is crucial for spiritual well-being. A spiritual guide can help diagnose and treat spiritual issues like a doctor does for physical health. Consistent zikr, including prayers and Quran recitation, strengthens the heart and prevents spiritual weaknesses. This practice guards against hypocrisy and negative influences.
