In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that to avoid confusion and conflicts (fitna), it's important to follow the Quran and Hadith. He emphasizes that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was responsible for explaining the Quran where needed. Rejecting Hadith is dangerous because it helps clarify the Quran. The Prophet advised that during times of great fitna, the best way to stay on the right path is by holding firmly to the Quran, which connects us to Allah and guides us in life.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the life of this world is temporary and deceptive, as described in the Quran. While this life feels real and brings both happiness and challenges, it should not distract us from the real goal, which is the eternal life in the hereafter. Humans have a special role as Allah’s representatives on Earth, but we must remember that this world is not the ultimate reality—the afterlife is.

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.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains a hadith about two important armies. One will fight in India, and the other will support Prophet Isa (AS). He suggests that when an Islamic caliphate is established, likely starting from Pakistan and Afghanistan, these armies will emerge to fight in India and later move towards Jerusalem, fulfilling the prophecy of the black flags from Khorasan.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Ba'it-e-Jihad today is not just about fighting but includes struggles against wrong beliefs and practices. Jihad, in his view, involves working to spread Islamic values, not rebelling. He says forming political parties is allowed, but their group has chosen not to participate in elections, believing that real change comes from broader efforts, not just voting. They focus on preparing people for a peaceful struggle to achieve Islamic goals.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that a revolution like Iran's is unlikely in Pakistan due to key differences. In Iran, the majority is Shia, and the Shia community is highly organized, while in Pakistan, Sunnis are the majority, and religious groups are less unified. Additionally, the political situation in Iran had a common opposition to the rulers, while in Pakistan, there are many political factions, making a similar revolution difficult to achieve.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed says elections are not haram and help solve public issues, but they are not the best way to establish Islamic governance (Iqamat-e-Deen). Striving for Iqamat-e-Deen is a duty, but achieving it is not guaranteed. He also critiques Jamaat-e-Islami for relying too much on politics and not focusing enough on a deeper struggle for this goal.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that holding weddings in Muharram is allowed in Islam and not against its teachings. The idea of avoiding weddings in Muharram comes from cultural traditions, not religion. He emphasizes that significant events like martyrdom in other months never stopped weddings, so Muharram should not be treated differently.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that interest (riba) is a grave sin and deeply ingrained in modern economic systems, making it challenging to avoid entirely. Islam forbids any involvement in riba, whether earning, paying, or facilitating it, as it corrupts both individuals and society. While necessity may offer some leniency, passively accepting or supporting this system is not permissible. He emphasizes that Muslims must actively seek lawful alternatives, minimize reliance on riba, and work towards reforming the system to align with Islamic principles.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Bai'ah is a pledge to support Allah’s deen, where both men and women commit to following His commands. Men pledge to obey their leader as long as it aligns with Shariah, while women vow to avoid actions displeasing to Allah. Both pledge to sacrifice wealth and life for the cause of Islam. The commitment involves striving for the religion, even in difficult times. Ultimately, the goal is to raise Allah’s deen and make His name supreme.

In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed advises to trust Allah as a friend, provider, helper, and protector. He emphasizes that having faith makes one a guardian of Allah, assuring that no harm can befall except what Allah decrees. Dr. Ahmed urges acceptance of Allah's will, reminding that what may seem like loss could actually be for our benefit.

In this clip Dr. Israr Ahmed explains Ramadan fasting as a means to develop self-control and piety. By controlling our desires for 30 days, we learn to prioritize our spiritual growth, avoid sin, and become more empathetic. Fasting helps us recognize our weaknesses, grow in self-awareness, and deepen our faith. Through this practice, we emerge stronger, wiser, and more compassionate.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed highlights that Surah Al-Asr, one of the shortest surahs in the Quran with just three verses, is highly significant for its comprehensive guidance. Despite its brevity, it encapsulates profound wisdom and was often recited by the Prophet Muhammad’s (SAW) companions before parting as a reminder of its importance.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about "Amal-e-Saleh" (good deeds) from the Quran. He shares a story of a companion who stayed strong in his faith despite being tortured. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) instructed them to stay patient and not fight back. Dr. Israr Ahmed also mentions the importance of praying and reciting the Quran at night as a key practice in early Islam.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that to change a system, you need organized, committed people. He highlights that in Pakistan, the system is dominated by feudal lords, and true democracy or public politics doesn't exist. Changing such a deeply entrenched system requires sacrifice and dedication, not just a disorganized crowd. He uses the example of a military unit following orders even in difficult situations to illustrate the need for discipline and unity.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed stresses that genuine unity among Muslims requires a shared understanding and purpose, achievable only through the Quran. He argues that mere discussions about unity are ineffective without aligning beliefs and goals. Muslims need to engage deeply with the Quran directly, not just through translations. This approach will foster true harmony and a unified purpose.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that fighting Shiatan is done through the Quran, not with a sword. He refers to Hadith and Allama Iqbal's poetry, noting that Satian deeply affects people. To combat Shiatan, use the Quran to purify yourself and turn him into a believer. The Quran is key for personal growth and spreading Islam’s message.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that worship (ibadat) is not just performing rituals like prayer and fasting. It means complete obedience to Allah, done with love and devotion. True worship combines both following Allah's commands and having deep affection for Him. Without love, obedience alone is not enough. The essence of worship is serving Allah wholeheartedly in every aspect of life. This is what brings true faith and connection to Him.
