In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about the importance of freeing people from debt and slavery, as mentioned in the Quran. He shares how Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) used to buy and free mistreated slaves. In today's context, Dr. Israr suggests that helping someone by paying off their large debt so they can become independent is better than giving small, regular donations.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that to keep faith fresh, one must regularly pray. Prayer acts as a pillar that renews and supports faith. Each prayer session is a way to renew commitment to Allah. By praying consistently, we keep our faith and devotion strong. Prayer is essential for maintaining and reinforcing our faith.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Quranic concept of patience (sabr) is about enduring hardships and staying firm in the path of Allah, especially during struggles. He cites examples like the Banu Hashim's siege and battles where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his followers faced hunger and pain. True patience is about standing strong for truth and justice, not just personal spiritual practices.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that true love for the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is shown by fully following his teachings and obeying Allah. Simply claiming to love the Prophet isn’t enough; it must be backed by action. On the Day of Judgment, some may find that their claims of love were not accepted by Allah because they didn’t truly follow the Prophet. Obeying Allah and His Messenger is essential in Islam, and sincere repentance is always accepted by Allah.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about when Prophet Musa (Moses) went up Mount Sinai to get the Torah. While he was gone for 40 days, the Israelites started worshipping a golden calf. When Musa returned and saw this, he was very angry. He broke the tablets of commandments and punished those who had worshipped the calf, following Allah's command.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed emphasizes that true faith (Emaan) requires sincere personal conviction, not just outward declarations. He references Surah Al-Munafiqun, which warns about hypocrites who profess belief but lack genuine faith. Dr. Israr urges believers to reflect on their own faith to ensure it is authentic and not merely inherited. He stresses that true believers prioritize Allah's commands over their own desires.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is special among all prophets because of his unique role. He also talks about Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and his descendants, who became the ancestors of many prophets. Prophet Musa (AS) led his people out of Egypt, but Prophet Muhammad (SAW) successfully established an Islamic state with the help of his companions. The key point is that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) holds a unique and unmatched status.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about the conflict between Islam and capitalism, saying that Islam seeks to establish its system above others. He compares this to modern Western leaders who insist their system will dominate. Dr. Israr points out that many Muslims are unaware of this because teachings about establishing Islam’s system aren't widely shared.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that true believers are afraid of being hypocrites, while hypocrites don’t worry about it. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said that only true believers fear hypocrisy. He tells a story about a Sahabi, Hazrat Hanzala (RA), who was worried that he was becoming a hypocrite because he felt less spiritual when he wasn't with the Prophet (SAW). The Prophet (SAW) assured him that it's normal for faith to rise and fall, and this doesn't mean he is a hypocrite.

In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed explains hypocrisy in Islam, likening it to a disease with clear symptoms and serious consequences. He describes hypocrites as those who pretend to believe but actually reject faith. The Quran warns about their behavior and severe punishment, especially in Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah An-Nisa, and Surah At-Tawbah. Dr. Israr emphasizes that true faith requires both belief and practice, not just outward claims.

In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed talks about the importance of remembering Allah (Zikr) to protect oneself from hypocrisy. He explains that constant remembrance, through prayer and Quran recitation, keeps a person spiritually strong. Dr. Israr Ahmed emphasizes that Salah (prayer) is a powerful form of Zikr, involving both the body and soul. He highlights how Sajdah (prostration) represents the ultimate humility before Allah, and encourages regular prayer throughout the day to stay connected with Him.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed teaches that regular remembrance of Allah (zikr) is crucial for spiritual well-being. A spiritual guide can help diagnose and treat spiritual issues like a doctor does for physical health. Consistent zikr, including prayers and Quran recitation, strengthens the heart and prevents spiritual weaknesses. This practice guards against hypocrisy and negative influences.

In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed explains the difference between human knowledge and divine knowledge. He talks about how humans learn through their senses and brains, leading to scientific progress. He also discusses how different philosophies and religions have tried to answer big questions about life, existence, and God. Dr. Israr Ahmed criticizes beliefs that mix God with creation or human form, emphasizing the importance of Tawheed (the oneness of God) in Islam, along with belief in prophethood and the Quran.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that humans cannot fully grasp Allah’s limitless attributes because our understanding is limited. Believing in multiple realities or partners to Allah is wrong. Allah’s existence and qualities, like His power and knowledge, are beyond our comprehension. Worldly comparisons cannot capture their true nature. Only Allah’s attributes are infinite and absolute.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the greatest jihad is fighting against your own desires (nafs). He describes how resisting laziness, like getting up for prayer, is a form of this struggle. He also warns against making your desires your god, which is a form of shirk (associating others with Allah).

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Ayat al-Kursi highlights Allah's supreme authority and self-sustaining existence. It emphasizes that no one can overpower Him, and everything in the universe, including our lives, belongs to Him. Allah’s knowledge and power are absolute, and nothing can escape His protection. The verse serves as a strong affirmation of Tawhid, the oneness of Allah. It is considered the leader of all Quranic verses.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that before independence, Muslims feared Hindu domination. They worried that as a minority, their culture, language, and religion would be threatened by the Hindu majority, leading to efforts to convert them and suppress their identity.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains Allama Iqbal's view of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in two phases: Makkah and Madina. Iqbal highlighted differences in the Prophet’s role during these times, which some see as contradictions. However, Dr. Israr clarifies that these differences reflect the Prophet’s evolving mission. He emphasizes the importance of understanding these stages when studying Iqbal's perspective.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses the Quran's unmatched eloquence and literary beauty. He explains that while everyone can appreciate its message, only native Arabic speakers, especially those from the Prophet's time, can fully understand its linguistic brilliance. Even the best poets of that era admitted they couldn't match the Quran's eloquence.

In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed talks about how Prophet Muhammad (SAW) established an Islamic society. He criticizes a Western historian who made negative comments about the Prophet, especially regarding his marriages. However, the historian also admits that the Prophet was the first to implement principles of equality, brotherhood, and freedom in society. Dr. Israr emphasizes the importance of learning from the Prophet's teachings and sharing these values with the world.
