In this clip Israr Ahmed explains that while Islam does not forbid women from ruling, it is not ideal in the Islamic system. Women's primary role is in managing the household and raising children, not in leadership. He cites examples like Razia Sultana to show women can lead, but leadership in Islam is generally meant for men. The natural order in Islam focuses on family roles, with each gender fulfilling specific duties.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains the concept of overall and specific superiority. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the greatest of all prophets, but some, like Musa (AS), Isa (AS), and Ibrahim (AS), had unique qualities. Musa (AS) spoke directly to Allah, Isa (AS) performed unmatched miracles, and Ibrahim (AS) was Allah’s close friend and leader for humanity. Among the Sahaba, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (RA) holds the highest rank, but others had specific strengths. This shows the balance of general greatness and individual distinctions in Islam.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that inheritance in Islam must be fairly divided among family members, with clear shares for sons, daughters, and others. He highlights that keeping property within the family, excluding women or non-Muslims, or claiming property after death is wrong. Misusing inheritance is a big sin in Islam. He stresses that Islamic law should guide how inheritance is divided, not local laws.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains the prayer schedule during Hajj, particularly at Arafat and Muzdalifah. At Arafat, the Imam combines Zuhr and Asr prayers with two rak'ahs each before Maghrib. In Muzdalifah, Maghrib is prayed after sunset with three rak'ahs, and Isha with two. During Hajj, prayers are shortened (Qasar) for obligatory prayers only. Sunnah Mu'akkadah prayers are not mandatory while traveling, but can be performed for reward.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that if a wife admits to zina (adultery) and repents, the husband should forgive her, as repentance can erase the sin. If the husband wants to punish her, both must swear oaths to confirm the truth. The husband must swear four times, and the wife can also swear to deny the accusation. If both are truthful in their oaths, the wife avoids punishment. The situation should be handled with fairness, privacy, and according to Islamic guidelines.
In the clip Israr Dr Ahmed explains that milk-e-yameen (concubines) is only allowed during true jihad fisabilillah and does not require nikah, but freeing and marrying them is a noble act. Such captives should be treated justly and integrated into society. Muslim men can marry Christian or Jewish women (Ahl-e-Kitab), but Muslim women cannot marry non-Muslim men. This is because children follow the father’s religion, and the family is led by the man in Islamic law.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains the difference between mazhab and deen. Mazhab refers to Islam’s religious practices, including beliefs, rituals, and customs. Deen is a broader concept, covering not only beliefs and rituals but also laws, politics, and social systems. Islam as deen guides every aspect of life, while as mazhab it’s limited to religious practices. People accept Islam as a religion but are often hesitant to accept it as a complete way of life.
In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed talks about the Shia-Sunni conflict and how it can be resolved by focusing on shared respect for the Prophet's companions. He says that until people stop disrespecting important figures like Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Fatima, the conflict will continue. He emphasizes the need for unity and suggests that harmful practices like public mourning should stop to bring peace.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that in Islam, there is no strict limit on the number of slaves a person can have, but the treatment of slaves is very important. Slaves, both men and women, should be treated well and can gradually be set free. Islam encourages fair treatment and aims for the eventual freedom of slaves, with a focus on humane and respectful treatment.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that a mother can give her property to some children while she is alive, but it must be done through a legal process called "hiba" (gift). The property must be fully handed over with possession. If the distribution is unfair and without a valid reason, it may be considered unjust in Islam, leading to punishment from Allah. Legally, a person can choose to give their property as a gift during their lifetime. However, inheritance should generally be equally divided among heirs.
In this Dr Israr Ahmed reflects on the slow growth of Tanzeem-e-Islami, emphasizing that success depends on Allah's will. Despite the group's 26 years of existence, progress has been limited, similar to the struggles faced by Hazrat Nuh (AS) and Prophet Muhammad (SAW). He argues that human efforts are fallible, and mistakes can happen. Dr. Israr Ahmed also highlights the importance of focusing on the long-term goal rather than questioning the pace. Constructive efforts are more valuable than merely pointing out flaws.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that while looking at a woman inappropriately is not a legal crime, it is an ethical sin in Islam, known as "zina of the eyes." The first glance is allowed, but staring or further actions are sinful. Zina includes not just physical acts but also thoughts and intentions. Unintentional thoughts are not punishable, but deliberate actions are.
