In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about why the character of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is not seen in many people today, including scholars. He says Muslims try to follow his teachings but often find it hard to show his qualities. He gives an example of the Prophet comforting Hazrat Umar, who was sad about others having luxuries, reminding him that true rewards are in the afterlife. Dr. Israr Ahmed believes today’s leaders should reflect the Prophet's character.
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.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that when people hear the truth, they may struggle with accepting it. He uses examples of companions like Hazrat Umar, who listened to the truth but still had doubts. He emphasizes that truly understanding the truth requires sincere listening and reflection. Accepting the truth takes time and effort, and it begins with an open heart and mind.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the struggle for Deen after joining an Islamic organization. He explains that while it's necessary to fulfill basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter, excessive indulgence in luxuries should be avoided. The focus should remain on serving the purpose of Deen. Our main effort should be for the establishment of Islam, with worldly needs being secondary.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) took the pledge (bay'ah) in Medina as a ruler, focusing on governance and laws. In Mecca, there was no formal pledge, as the community was still forming, and it was more about faith. He emphasizes that formalities should have real meaning, not just be done as rituals.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about how leaders need to mix kindness and strictness. Being gentle helps encourage members, but being too harsh can make them feel discouraged. Leaders should understand when to be tough and when to be caring to keep order. This balance is important for good leadership and keeping everyone motivated.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses the challenges of promoting Islam, especially for poor people. He asks if those who can only give a little time are fulfilling their religious duties. He highlights the importance of self-assessment: how you see yourself, how others see you, and how Allah sees you. He also emphasizes that Allah doesn’t give anyone more responsibility than they can handle and encourages people to contribute to Islam if they can improve their lives.
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 explains that people from different Islamic sects, including Jaferi (Shia), can join Tanzeem-e-Islami if they respect the Sahaba and the rightly-guided caliphs. He emphasizes unity on core Islamic beliefs while allowing diversity in sects. Sectarian differences like Barelvi and Deobandi are seen as cultural, not fundamental. True religious guidance, he says, should come from authentic Islamic teachings, not dreams or visions.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that to bring about an Islamic revolution in Pakistan, around 200,000 dedicated people are needed. However, the exact timing and decision depend on the circumstances at that moment. Success or failure is ultimately in Allah's control. Even if the effort doesn’t succeed, the struggle remains valuable.
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 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 talks about the need for Muslims to establish Islamic leadership (Khilafat) and questions if it's required by the Quran. He wonders if democracy can create an Islamic government and why Muslim leaders don’t unite. He also reflects on Jinnah's vision for Pakistan and says the lack of clear purpose and leadership has led to disunity among Muslims. Dr. Israr Ahmed warns that without strong leadership, Muslims will continue to face problems and decline.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that astrology and palmistry are discouraged in Islam, as they lead people away from trusting Allah’s guidance. While some may believe these practices hold truth, Islam prohibits relying on them. Instead, Muslims should seek guidance from the Quran and Sunnah. Focusing on hard work and faith is the correct path, rather than turning to superstitions.
In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed discusses whether buying items on installments is permissible in Islam. He argues that paying a higher price than the cash price is a form of interest (riba), despite some scholars allowing it. He also critiques prize bonds as a form of gambling, where winnings depend on chance. In his view, both practices involve earning interest, which he considers haram.
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 Islam’s foundation is about following core principles, but extremism ("bunyad parasti") is not part of Islam. He says that while Muslims should stay firm on their beliefs, they shouldn’t be labeled as extremists. The term "fundamentalism" was first used to criticize Jews and Christians who resisted changes to their religion, and now it’s used against different religious groups, not just Muslims.
