In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains the ideology and goals of RSS, highlighting their aim to eliminate Islam from India, especially after partition. He draws a parallel with the decline of Islam in Spain and warns of a similar threat in India. He notes how movements like RSS intensified after partition, fueled by grievances over the division of India. With the separation of East and West Pakistan, their confidence grew, contrasting with the decline of Muslims in leadership and progress.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that joining Tanzeem-e-Islami requires two main commitments. First, a pledge to Allah to avoid what He dislikes and strive for Islam’s success with one’s wealth and life. Second, a pledge to follow the leader’s instructions, whether easy or hard, as long as they align with Islamic teachings. Members must uphold discipline, unity, and dedication to the mission. This structure is rooted in the Quran, Sunnah, and the practice of the Sahaba.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that some tasawwuf practices, like imagining a sheikh observing you, can help with focus and self-purification (tazkiya nafs). These methods involve gradually visualizing the sheikh, the Prophet ﷺ, and then Allah's presence. While they may seem beneficial, he emphasizes caution and stresses that religious actions must align with the Sunnah. Practices without clear precedence in Islam should be avoided.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Khilafat is a system where governance is based on Allah’s commands and the Prophet’s (PBUH) teachings, ensuring divine authority remains supreme. Unlike democracy, where people’s will dominates, Khilafat prioritizes Quran and Sunnah. However, democratic elements like majority opinion and consultation can be included, as long as they stay within Islamic limits. The Khalifa is responsible for ensuring all decisions align with divine guidance, making Khilafat a balanced system of authority under Allah’s sovereignty.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that conflicts among the Sahabah escalated due to propaganda and chaos, making it hard to determine who was right. Despite efforts for peace, the situation was too complex to resolve. He highlights that external manipulation fueled the disputes and critiques some historical analyses for ignoring these deeper causes.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses Hazrat Umar's refusal to let the Prophet ﷺ write a will, an incident often criticized by some Shia groups. He highlights the importance of verifying such narrations. The refusal can be understood given the Prophet's weak condition at the time. Dr. Israr Ahmed concludes that Hazrat Umar's decision was wise and accepted by others.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that while traditional Islamic teachings prohibited hand-made images, modern photography and videos are different and widely accepted by scholars for essential needs like IDs and education. He believes using videos for spreading Islam is justified because it combines visuals and sound, making the message more impactful and effective for dawat-o-tableegh, as long as it does not involve anything inherently haram.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that an Islamic government cannot be established without sacrifice. While peaceful efforts like education and organization are important, true change requires replacing the current system, which often involves bloodshed. Only those who practice Islam in their lives can unite to bring real change. Simple elections cannot create an Islamic system.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that in Islam, the most important duty at a given time takes priority. Ignoring it, even for other good deeds, holds no reward. For example, during a battle, fighting is necessary, and personal worship at that time would not be rewarded. Rewards depend on fulfilling the right responsibility in the right situation.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Muslims should support oppressed people, especially in places like Kashmir and India. He warns that if Pakistan doesn’t follow Islamic principles, it could face serious problems and even break apart. Pakistan was made for Islam, and ignoring this purpose could lead to worse situations than Bosnia. He urges immediate action to bring an Islamic system to the country.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses whether joining a jamaat (organization) is necessary for Islamic struggle. He explains that leaving a jamaat is allowed if it goes off track, but one should then form or join another. He highlights how the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) started with a small group that grew over time. He also criticizes scholars who leave jamaats without explaining their reasons or offering a clear alternative, stressing their duty to guide others.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses the challenges of balancing modern education and religious struggle. He emphasizes the need for personal commitment and passion in overcoming distractions and obstacles. By prioritizing faith and being prepared to answer to Allah, individuals can find strength and success in their religious journey, even amidst difficulties.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed stresses that unity among Islamic groups should develop naturally through sincerity and mutual trust, not forced coalitions. Early efforts focus on individual and organizational reform, while later stages require unified leadership under one Imam. Forced alliances often cause harm, and true unity emerges when groups collaborate with pure intentions and shared goals.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that a Rasool (Messenger) brings a new divine law, while a Nabi (Prophet) follows an existing one. Every Rasool is a Nabi, but not every Nabi is a Rasool. He also mentions that some prophets, like Hazrat Haroon, were called Rasools even without bringing a new book. A Rasool guides a specific people, and if they reject the message, they face punishment, as seen in the stories of past nations.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Quran is profound and no single Tafseer can fully capture its depth. Scholars interpret it based on their knowledge and focus, such as philosophy, logic, or action. Each Tafseer offers a unique perspective but remains limited by human understanding. The Quran’s vastness reflects Allah’s infinite knowledge, beyond complete human grasp.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that mentioning the Rightly Guided Caliphs (Khulafaye Rashideen) in Jumu'ah khutbahs is a matter of personal preference. Some believe only Quran and Hadith should be discussed, while others include the Caliphs' names. Dr. Israr Ahmed personally mentions their virtues, as described in Hadith, to highlight their importance in Islam.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that earlier religious elders (Buzurgan-e-Deen) focused on spreading Islam spiritually, while rulers like the Mughals worked on governance and conquests. However, he believes the current challenges require following the Quran, Sunnah, and the Prophet’s (SAW) example to bring a complete Islamic revolution. Preaching is important, but it must be combined with efforts to reform society and leadership.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses whether Friday sermons (khutbah) can be given in Urdu, as most people don't understand Arabic. He believes the khutbah should be in a language that people can understand to spread religious knowledge. While Arabic is traditional, delivering it in Urdu can help more people grasp the message. He also emphasizes the importance of educating people to understand Arabic in the future.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Khawarij were declared outside Islam because they wrongly believed that committing a major sin made someone a disbeliever who must be killed. Similarly, those who deny the finality of Prophethood are also outside Islam because they reject a core belief, not because of their actions.
