In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that establishing an Islamic system requires a revolution, not elections, as seen in the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) struggle. However, once an Islamic government is formed, elections can be used to run it, provided they follow Islamic principles. He emphasizes that sincere efforts for this cause are rewarded in the Hereafter, even if not successful in this world. Elections alone cannot bring an Islamic system.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed values Tablighi Jamaat’s efforts in encouraging prayer and personal reform. He acknowledges their success in spreading Islam and inspiring positive changes. However, he believes their mission is incomplete as they do not focus on establishing an Islamic system. For him, fulfilling religious duties includes implementing Allah’s authority in all aspects of life.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed does not view the Iranian Revolution as an ideal model for two main reasons. First, Shia Islam believes in a chain of infallible Imams, while Sunni Islam follows an elected Khilafat system. Second, Iran’s Wilayat-e-Faqih system places ultimate authority in one religious leader, creating a form of religious aristocracy, which differs from Sunni governance.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that a peaceful Islamic revolution requires addressing sectarian divides. While Muslims differ on minor issues, they agree on core principles like modesty and morality. He highlights past unity among sects on shared values, showing that collective change is possible if focus shifts from divisions to the essence of Islam.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that for Muslims, character is closely linked to religion. However, non-Muslims can also have good character. He points out that some people may follow religious practices but lack integrity, while others may not be very religious but still have strong character. Both good character and religious practices are important.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed questions whether banks should be closed due to their involvement in interest (sood). He suggests replacing them with investment corporations that share profits and losses, making the system halal. He believes this change is achievable through a revolution that builds awareness and leadership. This would create a fairer financial system without interest.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that in financial matters, a man’s testimony equals two women’s as per Allah’s command. He suggests this is due to women’s natural tendency to forget, designed by Allah for their supportive roles, with forgetfulness acting as a safeguard to help them move on from past experiences.

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.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed Islamic scholars discuss eating meat slaughtered by Jews and Christians. Some say it's allowed if Allah's name is mentioned. But others disagree, citing Quranic rules. Dr. Israr Ahmed shares his views on this topic. He explains the conditions for permissible meat. His views help clarify the Islamic guidelines.

In the clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses the decline of movements after their founder's death, citing historical examples like Jamaat-e-Islami post-Maududi. However, he stresses this pattern shouldn't discourage efforts. He highlights that strong foundations can help movements endure. Even non-Islamic examples, like the Qadiani Jamaat, show continuity is possible. Islamic movements, therefore, can also sustain and thrive with proper planning and vision.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Jamaat-e-Islami seeks Islamic governance through elections, while Tanzeem-e-Islami focuses on personal reform and building a committed group to establish Islam through struggle and sacrifice. The two differ fundamentally in their approach, with Tanzeem emphasizing revolutionary action and bai’at as its foundation.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about the importance of modesty in Islam, especially for women. He explains that women should cover their bodies, leaving only their face, hands, and feet visible, and this should be kept private from men, except for their husband or a doctor when necessary. He emphasizes the need for modesty in both men and women and acknowledges that following these rules can be difficult in today's world but is essential for preserving Islamic values.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that in Islam, commitments like bai‘at (pledge) are based on a person's ability (istitaat). The Prophet ﷺ gave personalized advice to his companions, considering their individual strengths and weaknesses. This approach is like how a doctor tailors treatment to each patient. While general teachings are important, they must be understood in context. The key is balancing ideals with practical human limitations.

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 many prophets, like Hazrat Isa (AS), didn’t see immediate results from their efforts, but their teachings had a lasting impact over time. Despite little success in their lifetimes, their work eventually bore fruit. The message is that good deeds, though not always yielding quick results, will ultimately succeed, as seen with Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the spread of Islam.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Islam’s practices, such as modesty and gender segregation, are ethical measures to preserve morality, not signs of narrow-mindedness. While Western culture may view them as restrictive, they align with Islamic values. These principles should be understood within Islam’s framework rather than judged by external standards. Misinterpretations arise when viewed through a Western lens.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that giving three divorces in one sitting is valid but considered sinful. Hazrat Umar (RA) enforced this rule to discourage its misuse but also punished those who practiced it. The preferred method is to give one talaq at a time, allowing for reconciliation during the iddah period. Three divorces at once finalize the separation, leaving no room for remarriage unless the woman marries and divorces another man naturally.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed clarifies that kite flying is not haram if done with precautions. It should take place in open fields or parks and avoid using harmful materials like metal strings that can cause injuries or damage. He compares it to games like hockey or football, which are permissible unless they involve harm. Activities only become problematic if they waste excessive time or cause societal issues.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that humans have two types of intellect: one from the mind (aql-e-haywani) and one from the heart (aql-e-ruhani). The soul influences our actions, leading us towards good (nafs-e-mutmaina) or bad (nafs-e-ammara). The heart reflects the soul’s light but can become clouded by distractions. When the heart follows spiritual guidance, it finds peace; when it follows worldly desires, it leads to destruction.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed teaches that true peace in Islam comes from prayer and remembering Allah. He explains that listening to the Quran with good recitation brings comfort to the heart. TV and other distractions only cause restlessness. Real happiness comes from spiritual practices, not worldly entertainment. True joy is found in connecting with Allah through prayer and the Quran.
