In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that in the early days of Islam (Makki period), Tahajjud was the only prayer, but it wasn’t mandatory. As time passed, the rules around it changed, becoming less strict. Different scholars mention different timings for when these changes happened, but it’s agreed that the command became more flexible, especially after the migration to Madinah.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed clarifies that not every fight for an Islamic government is jihad fi sabilillah (struggle for Allah). True jihad promotes Islamic values, like in the early caliphate. In Kashmir, freedom fighters are involved in jihad-e-hurriyat, which is valid but may not be true jihad unless it aligns with Islamic goals. Dr. Israr Ahmed states that an Islamic government must follow Islamic teachings; otherwise, its legitimacy can be questioned.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that disagreements in Tanzeem-e-Islami are natural and healthy if handled responsibly. They should not disrupt discipline or unity and must be expressed through proper channels with authorized members. It’s important to avoid burdening others or demotivating them, and personal ego or pride must not interfere. Unity, humility, and respect for organizational rules are essential when dealing with differences.
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 Israr Ahmed explains that many prophets, like Hazrat Isa (AS), didn’t see immediate results from their efforts, but their teachings had a lasting impact over time. Despite little success in their lifetimes, their work eventually bore fruit. The message is that good deeds, though not always yielding quick results, will ultimately succeed, as seen with Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the spread of Islam.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed clarifies that kite flying is not haram if done with precautions. It should take place in open fields or parks and avoid using harmful materials like metal strings that can cause injuries or damage. He compares it to games like hockey or football, which are permissible unless they involve harm. Activities only become problematic if they waste excessive time or cause societal issues.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that before Islam is dominant, Jihad is a personal duty (Fard-e-Ain) involving self-struggle, spreading truth, and resisting false ideas peacefully. After an Islamic state is established, Jihad becomes a collective duty (Fard-e-Kifaya), handled by the government for defense and law enforcement.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed emphasizes the importance of living according to Allah’s will by following the Quran and staying connected with a religious group. He advises joining a community for support, avoiding Shaytan's influence, and participating in activities like congregational prayers. Being part of a group like Tanzeem-e-Islami helps maintain the right path, but sincerity and following the Prophet’s way are key.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses "azeem shirk," highlighting it as one of the greatest forms of shirk where human authority is elevated above Allah's. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing Allah's sovereignty and following His guidance, rather than claiming legislative power contrary to His commands.
In the video Dr Israr Ahmed's message to Muslims and Pakistani leaders is about returning to true Islamic values. He criticizes the focus on wealth and power instead of justice and accountability. He points out that Muslims in other countries are more devoted and stresses the need for a fair society where leaders can be questioned. He believes that if Muslims sincerely repent and reform, they can regain Allah's favor and achieve greatness.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that "mazhab" (religion) covers beliefs, worship practices, and customs, and there can be many religions in one place. However, "deen" is a complete way of life, including social, economic, and political systems. He says only one "deen" can dominate in a society at a time, like how two swords can't fit in one sheath. Today, he believes democracy is the prevailing "deen."
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Islam didn’t reach the Indian subcontinent during the Prophet Muhammad’s (SAW) time. It first came later through Arab traders and Muhammad bin Qasim’s conquest of Sindh. This early Islam was straightforward and free from divisions. However, after Muhammad bin Qasim was recalled and killed, the spread of Islam slowed down. It wasn’t until 300 years later that Islam started to grow more in the region.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Quran was preserved by Prophet Muhammad (SAW) through memorization and recitation as instructed by God. The written compilation of the Quran into a book was done later by Hazrat Abu Bakr and Hazrat Usman (RA). The initial preservation was through the Prophet, and the misunderstanding that Hazrat Usman (RA) compiled the Quran is incorrect.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that to build strong individuals, one must first fight against personal desires, Satan’s temptations, and society's pressures. Once strong in faith and obedience, these individuals should unite, just like bricks in a strong wall. A successful community must have both strong members and a strong bond holding them together. This is essential for overcoming challenges and achieving lasting success.
In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed discusses Allama Iqbal's focus on ideological movements for Muslims. He emphasizes that Iqbal believed in creating a strong foundation based on Islamic teachings and Sufi thought. Dr. Israr highlights Iqbal's efforts to establish a political party and an organization to guide the Muslim community toward a better future.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Islamic revolutions started late because the Islamic system remained strong for the first 1000 years. It fully collapsed after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, leading to movements that focused more on fighting colonial powers than reviving Islam. Earlier rulers, though corrupt, still followed Islamic law, so a revolution wasn’t necessary. Now, the time has come to rebuild Islam based on the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed explains that for Allah to accept our actions, we need to truly love Him and the Prophet. Simply following religious rules isn’t enough; we must feel genuine love in our hearts. If we pray or make dua without this love, our efforts may not be accepted. He encourages people to understand their feelings and strengthen their love for Allah while continuing to practice their faith. True devotion is about sincere love, not just actions.
