In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that calling Islamic movements a "failure" is wrong. He compares it to the Prophet Muhammad’s struggles in Makkah, which seemed unsuccessful but were part of a bigger plan. Establishing Islam takes time and happens over generations. Every sincere effort counts, is rewarded by Allah, and contributes to the ongoing growth of Islam.
Dr. Israr Ahmed highlights the contrast between a philosopher and a Prophet. Prophets assert the absolute truth of their message, while philosophers don't claim certainty. The Quran shows how Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) refused to alter its words, and Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) urged his father to follow his guidance, rooted in unique knowledge.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the perfect Islamic community, like in the Prophet's time, is not present today. This unity will be restored with Imam Mahdi and Jesus (AS). Until then, Muslims should join any sincere Islamic group to maintain a sense of community. Living without such a connection is discouraged, even if current groups aren't ideal.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that a superiority complex leads to arrogance, making one feel above others. Instead of pride, a person should practice humility. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) demonstrated this humility when He entered Makkah with His head lowered. Humility reflects true strength and respect. Arrogance, on the other hand, is a sign of weakness.
In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed explains that Allama Iqbal, who was not a traditional religious scholar, is a powerful example of the Quran's miraculous impact. Despite being educated in Western universities during a time of strong Western influence, Iqbal deeply connected with the Quran and used it as the foundation for his philosophy and poetry. Dr. Israr Ahmed highlights that Iqbal's life shows how the Quran remains a living miracle, even in modern times.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed highlights the main duties of Muslims, urging them to strengthen their faith through the Quran and follow Islamic values. He advises against practices like interest and bribery, encourages building a community that invites others to Islam through Friday prayers, and stresses the importance of choosing honest leaders to promote Islamic teachings.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed highlights the need for understanding faith (iqmat-e-deen) and its importance in life. He believes everyone should work on this, but we also need people focusing on other areas. He notes that early Muslims were united in their efforts, but today many are unaware of their duties. He calls for a new awakening among Muslims, urging those who understand their responsibilities to come together for success. He also questions how early Muslims approached science and knowledge.
Dr. Israr Ahmed discusses the connection between faith and good deeds, highlighting legal faith versus true faith, and their significance according to the Quran.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed highlights that in Pakistan, many religious scholars approach their roles as jobs, prioritizing power and control over their true duty of guiding people. According to him, their real responsibility, as outlined in the Quran, is to promote goodness, prevent wrongdoings, and lead people toward the right path. However, many scholars neglect this duty out of fear of losing followers or support.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that while worldly knowledge, such as engineering, is important for earning a livelihood, the most essential knowledge is understanding deen (Islam). Every Muslim must acquire basic knowledge of Islam, including what is fard (obligatory) and haram (forbidden), to avoid sin. A higher level of knowledge involves a deeper understanding of the Quran, especially in its original Arabic, to effectively invite others to the path of Allah and spread the message of Islam.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that shahadat means giving testimony to the truth of Islam through one’s actions. The highest shahadat is dying for Allah’s cause, but it also includes dying from a plague or while defending one’s wealth or freedom. Even someone living by Allah’s commands is a "living martyr."
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 asceticism (rahbaniyat) in Islam was meant to show deep devotion and compassion, as seen in the lives of prophets like Noah, Abraham, and Jesus. He criticizes how some people have misunderstood and misused ascetic practices, leading to negative effects like isolation and hypocrisy. He emphasizes that true Islam does not support these wrong practices.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that in Islam, bowing or prostrating to anyone other than Allah is strictly forbidden. While it was once allowed as a sign of respect in earlier times, Islam's teachings have since made it clear that such acts should be reserved only for Allah. He also criticizes practices like bowing deeply in respect to leaders, as these actions can resemble worship and are considered shirk, meaning associating others with Allah. True submission and devotion should be directed to Allah alone.
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 explains that modern people see goodness as being honest and doing one's duty, while traditional views focus on religious rituals. Even those doing immoral acts, like sex workers, try to balance by doing good deeds. He also mentions how Emperor Aurangzeb's ban on music in Delhi shows the clash between moral beliefs and practical needs.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains whether making pictures is haram in Islam. Drawing pictures by hand of living beings is clearly forbidden in Islamic teachings. With the invention of cameras, scholars debated if photography falls under the same rule. Some say it’s allowed for things like education, passports, or criminal identification. While some scholars accept it for necessary purposes, most discourage it, especially for general use.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Islam allows taking captives only during legitimate wars (Jihad), not by forcefully capturing free people, which is strictly forbidden. Prisoners of war (POWs) can be integrated into society instead of being confined to camps. Relations with such captives are permitted without marriage, but freeing and marrying them is encouraged as a noble act. Selling captives was allowed historically under strict rules but is not applicable today. Forced slavery is strictly prohibited in Islam.
