In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that for Muslims, character is closely linked to religion. However, non-Muslims can also have good character. He points out that some people may follow religious practices but lack integrity, while others may not be very religious but still have strong character. Both good character and religious practices are important.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that a peaceful Islamic revolution requires addressing sectarian divides. While Muslims differ on minor issues, they agree on core principles like modesty and morality. He highlights past unity among sects on shared values, showing that collective change is possible if focus shifts from divisions to the essence of Islam.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed does not view the Iranian Revolution as an ideal model for two main reasons. First, Shia Islam believes in a chain of infallible Imams, while Sunni Islam follows an elected Khilafat system. Second, Iran’s Wilayat-e-Faqih system places ultimate authority in one religious leader, creating a form of religious aristocracy, which differs from Sunni governance.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed values Tablighi Jamaat’s efforts in encouraging prayer and personal reform. He acknowledges their success in spreading Islam and inspiring positive changes. However, he believes their mission is incomplete as they do not focus on establishing an Islamic system. For him, fulfilling religious duties includes implementing Allah’s authority in all aspects of life.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that establishing an Islamic system requires a revolution, not elections, as seen in the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) struggle. However, once an Islamic government is formed, elections can be used to run it, provided they follow Islamic principles. He emphasizes that sincere efforts for this cause are rewarded in the Hereafter, even if not successful in this world. Elections alone cannot bring an Islamic system.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that relying only on the Quran leads to sects due to differences in understanding the Sunnah. He stresses the importance of following both the Quran and Sunnah to avoid confusion and division. Ignoring the Sunnah can create more sects and disagreements, especially about basic practices like prayer. Both the Quran and Sunnah are necessary for unity among Muslims.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that loving your homeland is natural and allowed in Islam, but it should not be more important than love for Allah, His Messenger, and following Islamic teachings. Islam does not support nationalism that prioritizes the country over religion. Loving your homeland is fine, but faith and obedience to Allah must come first.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that holding weddings in Muharram is allowed in Islam and not against its teachings. The idea of avoiding weddings in Muharram comes from cultural traditions, not religion. He emphasizes that significant events like martyrdom in other months never stopped weddings, so Muharram should not be treated differently.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed stressed starting with self-reform and applying Islam in personal and family life before spreading it to society. He highlighted that perfection isn’t necessary, but consistent effort is. Using examples from Prophets, he explained the need to balance personal growth and societal change. He also urged unity among Islamic groups, focusing on shared goals rather than divisions, and emphasized respectful dialogue for collective progress.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains why he openly discusses his revolutionary process, unlike some groups that keep their plans secret. He believes transparency is important for people to understand the vision, drawing from historical examples like the Prophets (SAW). He acknowledges that people resist change without full understanding, but stresses that openness is essential. For him, sharing the process is neither a mistake nor a crime, but a necessary step for achieving a clear goal.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that belief (yaqeen) is formed through personal experiences, which can be external or internal. External experiences involve using our senses, like tasting sugar to confirm its sweetness, while internal experiences are deep emotional or spiritual realizations, such as feeling moved by poetry. True conviction arises when these experiences, whether physical or spiritual, validate what we hear or know, making our belief firm and meaningful.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about whether it’s better to implement Islamic law gradually or all at once. He says gradual implementation, like the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did, is better than forcing people to rebel. He also points out that today, we already have the complete religion, so any difficulties we face are much lighter compared to the struggles faced by the early Muslims.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed advises against trying to change the direction of established movements, as their ideologies are deeply rooted. He suggests that if you don't agree with a group's approach, it's better to either join a different one or create your own path. Focusing on positive work and avoiding unnecessary conflicts is key. This approach allows for productive change without wasting time or causing friction.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that praying without feeling spiritual peace is still a significant act of obedience to Allah. If someone prays despite distractions or struggles, their effort holds greater value and reward. Praying out of habit or for enjoyment may reduce the spiritual merit, as it becomes routine. True devotion is shown when prayer is done purely to fulfill Allah's command, even without personal comfort.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed highlights that while Muslims have gained political freedom, they remain mentally influenced by the West. To break this, he suggests studying and presenting Islamic teachings, especially on topics like politics, at a high academic level. This will help show that Islam offers its own solutions and guidance, reducing reliance on Western ideas.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Islam allows Muslim men to marry women from Ahl-e-Kitab (Jews and Christians), as stated in the Quran. He argues this permission remains valid even today, despite changes in their beliefs, as similar issues existed during the Quran's revelation. However, it is ideal if the woman converts to Islam before marriage.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that "Taghoot" refers to anything or anyone that demands worship or obedience other than Allah. It can also mean crossing boundaries, such as idolizing something beyond its rightful place. Forcing submission to anyone except Allah is considered "Taghoot." True Islamic leadership does not seek to make people submit to them, but to Allah alone.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that healing is ultimately from Allah, whether through medicine or other means. Using taveez or jhad phoonk is permissible if done correctly, without un-Islamic practices. Muslims should place complete trust in Allah, not in these practices. Seeking medical treatment is fine, but always remember that Allah is the true healer.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Hadiths were already being shared and recorded during the Rashidun Caliphate, even before they were compiled 300 years later. Scholars like Imam Bukhari carefully gathered authentic Hadiths, separating them from false ones. Abu Huraira RA, who spent the most time with the Prophet (PBUH), narrated the most Hadiths.
