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 humans have two types of intellect: one from the mind (aql-e-haywani) and one from the heart (aql-e-ruhani). The soul influences our actions, leading us towards good (nafs-e-mutmaina) or bad (nafs-e-ammara). The heart reflects the soul’s light but can become clouded by distractions. When the heart follows spiritual guidance, it finds peace; when it follows worldly desires, it leads to destruction.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed highlights the flaws in Pakistan’s democracy and warns against supporting an unjust system for stability. He explains that true Islamic governance needs revolutionary efforts, but neither the public nor religious parties are prepared. Since a vacuum is impossible, only democracy or martial law can prevail, with martial law being dangerous for the country. He predicts political maneuvers for controlled democracy to secure power, observing quietly as events unfold.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed teaches that true peace in Islam comes from prayer and remembering Allah. He explains that listening to the Quran with good recitation brings comfort to the heart. TV and other distractions only cause restlessness. Real happiness comes from spiritual practices, not worldly entertainment. True joy is found in connecting with Allah through prayer and the Quran.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that spending in moderation means balancing needs and responsibilities without extravagance. The example of Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) giving all his wealth was an emergency act, not a general rule for daily life. Islam allows donating up to one-third of one’s wealth to ensure heirs are not left in poverty. In striving for Deen, personal sacrifices are necessary, but in normal life, moderation is key to fulfilling both worldly and religious obligations.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Allah's knowledge of our actions doesn’t take away our free will, so accountability is still necessary. He stresses paying Haq Mehr right after marriage, discusses the issue of three talaqs, and highlights Hazrat Umar’s rulings. He says patang bazi is allowed if done safely but criticizes it as a harmful cultural practice. He also talks about women's rights, in-laws being mahram, and sharing family responsibilities fairly.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed emphasizes that Islam strictly forbids the exploitation of women, such as buying or selling them. In the case of war, women captured lawfully are treated with dignity and given opportunities to earn their freedom. Islam encourages fair and respectful treatment, ensuring no coercion. The concept of freedom can be earned through mutual agreements, not force. Overall, Islam stresses justice and human rights, even in difficult situations like war.
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.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the spiritual impact of Quranic lessons fades over time. He uses the example of Hazrat Hanzala (RA), who felt a change in his spirituality away from the Prophet (PBUH). The Prophet explained that such intense feelings are temporary and can’t last constantly. Similarly, Quranic gatherings have a powerful but fleeting impact.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Hazrat Abu Zar Ghafari was asked to leave Madina for preaching that keeping gold and silver without spending it for Allah’s cause is forbidden, based on a Quranic warning about unused wealth becoming a punishment. However, Islam allows lawful wealth if zakat is paid, permitting private ownership and halal earnings, while prohibiting income from haram sources.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Tasawwuf silsilas like Qadriya and Chishtiya were developed to help people connect with Allah through practices like zikr and chilla. These methods emerged when direct guidance was difficult. Each silsila follows its founder’s teachings, aiming for spiritual growth. Although not from the Sunnah, these practices guide individuals toward closeness to Allah.
