In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Imam Bukhari believes faith and actions are inseparable. True faith includes good deeds, and sinning shows a lack of true belief at that moment. Repentance restores faith, and Allah's mercy ensures that sincere obedience maintains the value of one's good deeds.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Sharia is meant to help us grow and improve as individuals. He mentions the Quran, saying that those who deny the afterlife mistreat orphans and neglect the needy. Sharia teaches us basic human values and morality, guiding us to become the people Allah intended us to be.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that all religions and philosophies share basic moral values like honesty, keeping promises, helping others, and respecting parents. These values are universally recognized as fundamental.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about "Amal-e-Saleh" (good deeds) from the Quran. He shares a story of a companion who stayed strong in his faith despite being tortured. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) instructed them to stay patient and not fight back. Dr. Israr Ahmed also mentions the importance of praying and reciting the Quran at night as a key practice in early Islam.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed says that humans have a spiritual side that makes them different from animals. Even though people have eyes and ears, they often don't use them to truly see or hear. This is like Abu Jahl, who ignored the truth despite having eyes and ears. Modern humans have forgotten this spiritual aspect due to scientific theories like Darwin's.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that humans can regain their high status by performing righteous deeds and striving for spiritual growth. He says that intentional actions ("amal") are needed to rise above our current state. Humans were meant to be Allah's representatives but have fallen. By having faith and doing good deeds, they can reclaim their noble position; otherwise, they are worse than animals.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that there are two types of faith: legal faith and real faith. Legal faith is constant for all Muslims and doesn’t change. Real faith, however, can increase or decrease based on one's actions and environment. Imam Abu Hanifa talks about the unchanging nature of legal faith, while Imam Bukhari focuses on the dynamic nature of real faith. The Quran supports that real faith can grow or shrink.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains the debate on whether good deeds are part of faith. Imam Abu Hanifa says actions are separate from faith and don't affect it. Imam Bukhari believes faith includes both belief and actions, which can increase or decrease. Imam Abu Hanifa views faith legally, meaning even if someone sins, their faith remains, but they are punished for the sin separately.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about the three levels of certainty in faith: knowing something is true (Ilm-ul-Yaqeen), seeing it for yourself (Ain-ul-Yaqeen), and fully experiencing it (Haqq-ul-Yaqeen). He explains this with a Hadith where worshiping Allah as if you see Him makes your faith stronger and more sincere.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains the punishments in Hell as described in the Quran, including food like the bitter plant Zaqqoom and boiling water. He highlights the importance of faith in Allah, His messengers, the final Prophet, the scriptures, the afterlife, and the concepts of reward and punishment. He notes two levels of faith: verbal declaration, which is useful for legal and social recognition, and true inner belief.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains who the hypocrites (munafiqeen) are: those who claim Islam without true faith. Islam requires obedience to Allah and His Messenger without compromise. True believers distinguish themselves from hypocrites by their unwavering faith and belief in the Quran as Allah's word.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that "Kaamil Eimaan" means complete faith. In Surah Hujurat, verse 14, some Bedouins said they had faith, but they were only outwardly Muslim, not true believers in their hearts. After Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) gained victory, many tribes accepted Islam. Some did so sincerely, but others only pretended, planning to rebel later. True faith comes from the heart, not just outward actions.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that true faith (Iman) is a belief that settles deeply in the heart, which we can't judge in others. He shares a story where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) rebukes Usama ibn Zaid for doubting a man's declaration of faith during battle, teaching that we should accept people's outward faith without questioning their inner belief.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains the significance of time and human existence in the Quran. He discusses "Asr," which means time that passes quickly, and "Dahr," which means the vast expanse of time and space. He notes that humans started as insignificant drops of water. The Quran swears by "Asr" to highlight how quickly time passes and that as we age, our remaining time decreases.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Allah swears by time in the Quran to show its importance. He says understanding the Quran takes a lifetime, even for great scholars. He compares this to Allama Iqbal's humble approach in his writings. Dr. Israr Ahmed stresses the need for deep study of the Quran and notes its profound verses. By swearing by time, Allah highlights that all people are at a loss except those who believe and do good deeds.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that life is full of sorrows and fleeting moments. He recalls a poem that describes life as busy and fast-moving. The poem compares our hearts to muffled drums at military funerals, symbolizing how we are steadily moving towards our graves. This idea is also reflected in the Quranic verse "Wal Asr," which highlights the swift passage of time and human tragedy.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that life is full of sorrows and time passes quickly. He recalls a poem that says, "Heart is long and time is fleeting," meaning our hearts are strong but time is running out. He compares our heartbeat to the sound of muffled drums at a soldier's funeral, symbolizing our journey towards death. He connects this idea to the Quranic verse "Wal Asr," highlighting the fleeting nature of time and human tragedy.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that true success isn't based on worldly achievements but on sincere faith and following Islamic principles. Many people say they believe in the afterlife, yet their actions show they prioritize worldly gains. They seek material success, sometimes even risking their lives. Real success comes from fulfilling four conditions mentioned in the Quran.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explained that on the Day of Judgment, fulfilling four essential conditions is necessary for immediate entry into Paradise without punishment. These conditions are the minimum requirements for instant salvation. Without meeting them, immediate entry into Paradise is not possible.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that identifying as Muhammad's (SAW) followers requires rejecting false beliefs. He lists four crucial conditions for salvation: faith alone isn't enough; being Muhammad's (SAW) followers ensures it. Being Muslim and Muhammad's (SAW) followers guarantees salvation.
