In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed explains that following four key principles will lead to success and salvation. These principles include believing in and respecting the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) , supporting him, and following the guidance revealed to him. Dr. Israr Ahmed emphasizes that true faith involves not just verbal acknowledgment but also heartfelt conviction.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that while Western countries like the U.S. and the UK don't oppose Islam as a religion, they are against the idea of Islam's political and social system gaining influence. They allow Muslims to practice their faith, but they won't accept an Islamic system replacing their own. Dr. Israr stresses that Muslims should work towards establishing Islam's principles in society, especially if they have the power to do so.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that both Hinduism and Islam share similar views on the soul and spirituality. He notes that Iqbal’s philosophy of self, influenced by Surah Hashir, is deeply rooted in the Quran. According to Iqbal and his associate Nazir Riazi, true self-awareness involves understanding one’s spiritual essence rather than focusing solely on physical needs. This spiritual perspective is a key aspect in both religions, contrasting with materialistic views.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that real blessings are those that come with guidance from Allah. Wealth, health, and children are only blessings if they help you live righteously. Without guidance, these things can lead to harm rather than good. The Qur'an is the greatest blessing because it provides the guidance needed to live a successful and righteous life.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed is explaining when to take action for establishing Islamic dominance. He says in Pakistan, about 100,000 to 200,000 dedicated people should be ready for this. Once they are organized, they can openly challenge others. He compares this to the well-organized RSS in India, stressing that being prepared is key for taking any big step.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the problems in Palestine and Kashmir are punishments from Allah because Muslims have not fulfilled their responsibilities. He says these hardships are tests from Allah, not just caused by enemies. To overcome this, Muslims need to follow their religious duties and establish a country that truly practices Islamic values.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed outlines two essential steps for establishing an Islamic state in Pakistan. On an individual level, people must stop engaging in sinful activities and fulfill their religious obligations. This personal reform is crucial for any real change. On a national level, the country's constitution, which currently includes both Islamic and non-Islamic elements, must be revised to align fully with Islamic principles. Only then can true progress be made towards an Islamic state.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that modesty rules in Islam are different for men and women. Women are instructed to cover themselves and also lower their gaze around men. Even if a woman wears full hijab, she still needs to be mindful of how she interacts with men. Men, on the other hand, are expected to control their desires, but the responsibility of veiling is greater on women. This difference is based on the natural instincts of both genders.
In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed talks about the need to earn the trust of scholars (ulama) for any movement to succeed. He explains that Tanzeem-e-Islami has difficulty gaining their support and lacks enough scholars. Dr. Israr Ahmed expresses concern about the future since scholars are important in society. He shares his disappointment in connecting with them because many fear losing their community support. He also mentions that religious groups have strong connections that are hard to change.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed advises that, despite high costs, we should try our best to earn a halal (lawful) income and avoid clear haram (forbidden) actions like bribery. God understands sincere efforts and may overlook minor issues if we’re genuinely trying. If a job pressures you toward haram practices, it’s better to switch to lawful work, even if it’s challenging.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that in an Islamic government, opposition is allowed if it follows Shariah. The caliphate isn’t a one-party system but lets people choose between different programs. Parties must stay true to their promises. In a presidential system, decisions are based on honesty, not party influence. Islamic governance balances religion with modern needs.
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 discusses the hadith that suggests a woman should not lead a nation, explaining that it is strongly discouraged but not entirely forbidden. He clarifies that such leadership is considered "makruh-e-tahreemi," which is close to haram. He emphasizes that personal views should not replace Islamic teachings. Dr. Israr Ahmed suggests focusing on broader issues, like working towards an Islamic revolution, rather than debating this specific matter.
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 explains that giving three divorces in one sitting is valid but considered sinful. Hazrat Umar (RA) enforced this rule to discourage its misuse but also punished those who practiced it. The preferred method is to give one talaq at a time, allowing for reconciliation during the iddah period. Three divorces at once finalize the separation, leaving no room for remarriage unless the woman marries and divorces another man naturally.
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 explains that making collective dua after every prayer is not a regular Sunnah, though it is mentioned occasionally. He emphasizes focusing on understanding the Quran and spreading Islamic teachings. He also discusses the importance of keeping a beard as a Sunnah, highlighting that it requires no effort or cost, yet many neglect it to follow worldly trends, which he considers a significant disregard for the Prophet’s (PBUH) teachings.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed highlights that establishing an Islamic government faces global opposition, as seen in Afghanistan's downfall due to strategic mistakes and poor decisions. He stresses self-correction, reliance on Allah, and enduring trials as necessary for success, drawing lessons from historical events where internal flaws led to defeat. True victory, he explains, comes through persistence, discipline, and adherence to divine guidance.
Dr. Israr Ahmed laments the lost dreams of a strong Pakistan and empowered Muslims in India. He highlights how Muslim actions oppose Islam, leading to suffering for Indian Muslims as a consequence.
In 1985, Dr. Israr Ahmed organized a six-day event discussing a religious vision derived from the Quran with 100 scholars. Among them, Maulana Waheed-ul-Deen Khan remained silent when questioned about the importance of peace versus war, simply replying, "No Comments" in English. This exchange highlighted differing perspectives on conflict resolution within the religious community.
