In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that taqwa means avoiding sin and obeying Allah. Hazrat Umar asked Ubayy ibn Ka'b to define taqwa, and he compared it to walking carefully through a thorny path to avoid harm. This means living without falling into sin. Without taqwa, people lie, cheat, take bribes, and misuse power. Taqwa creates awareness that we will be accountable to Allah. To spread taqwa in society, it must start at home, teaching children these values.

Sharing guidance is a moral duty, and true believers want for others what they want for themselves. If Allah has guided you, share that guidance with others.
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 talks about the rights of Allah on Muslims, focusing on worship as a key duty.

He also notes that all prophets, including Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), called people to worship Allah alone.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Muslim League, formed in 1906, was initially a party of elites, not ordinary Muslims.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah joined the League in 1913, trying to unite Hindus and Muslims, but became disappointed and moved to England.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that even non-Muslims recognize Prophet Muhammad (SAW) as one of the most important figures in history. A book by Dr. Michael Hart ranked him as the most influential person ever because he succeeded in both religious and worldly matters. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) stands out because he was great in both areas, unlike anyone else in history.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains the Quran's immense value and urges us to deeply understand it. He compares it to precious gems, which only experts can truly appreciate. The Quran is not just for rituals but a guide for life. To truly benefit from it, we need to engage with it meaningfully. If we grasp its importance, we would spend more time studying it deeply, not just reading it superficially. Understanding the Quran requires recognizing its divine nature and wisdom.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the purpose of Friday (Juma) prayer is to regularly teach and remind the Muslim community of the Quran's teachings. In the Prophet's time, Juma was a weekly gathering focused on educating adults, helping them understand and spread Islam's message. This way, the community stayed strong and united in their faith.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that sincere repentance can lead to the forgiveness of all sins. He refers to the story of Prophet Adam and Hawwa (Eve) in the Quran, where despite their serious mistake, their genuine repentance was accepted by Allah.

The lesson is that sincere regret and seeking forgiveness can erase past wrongdoings.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed says the greatest Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is promoting marriage, aligning with human nature. He emphasizes that true followers support this Sunnah, and the Prophet’s key teachings are spreading Allah’s message and striving to establish Islam.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that optional (Nafl) fasting on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of the lunar month is very rewarding, as it's like fasting the whole month. Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays is also encouraged. While fasting on Fridays alone is not preferred, it's allowed on important days. After Ramadan, fasting six days in Shawwal is recommended for extra blessings.
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 says women can contribute to society while following hijab and Islamic values. He encourages home-based work to support families and says working outside is allowed if needed, as long as hijab is observed. He advises women to choose roles that align with Islamic values and warns against blindly copying Western ideas.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains why he started Tanzeem-e-Islami despite other Islamic groups like Jamaat-e-Islami and Tableeghi Jamaat. He says that while some groups focus on elections to establish Islam, Tanzeem-e-Islami believes real change can only come through a revolutionary effort. He also points out that Tableeghi Jamaat spreads Islam but doesn’t work on establishing an Islamic system. Since these groups use different methods, working together is difficult.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Ba'iat (pledge) taken by the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) with his companions had deep wisdom. It was meant to ensure a strong connection between the Prophet and his followers, preparing the Muslim community for the future. After the Prophet's death, this Ba'iat became the foundation for Islamic leadership and governance. The Prophet's actions and guidance helped establish a system that would continue even after the end of prophethood, ensuring unity and direction for the Muslim Ummah.
In this clip Israr Ahmed explains that while Islam does not forbid women from ruling, it is not ideal in the Islamic system. Women's primary role is in managing the household and raising children, not in leadership. He cites examples like Razia Sultana to show women can lead, but leadership in Islam is generally meant for men. The natural order in Islam focuses on family roles, with each gender fulfilling specific duties.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Mutah (temporary marriage) is haram in Islam as it involves a time-limited agreement, unlike a proper Nikah, which is a lifelong bond. He stresses that Islamic rulings depend on divine evidence, not personal logic. Even if justified to avoid sin, Mutah is not allowed and can lead to misuse, like immoral practices. A valid Nikah requires proper witnesses and follows Shariah guidelines.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explained that merely practicing parts of Islam is not enough for Jannah. One must work to change systems that don't follow Islamic values. Even if someone follows basic practices like prayer and fasting, they must reject and struggle against un-Islamic systems. Efforts to change the system and follow true Islamic principles are key to salvation.
