In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses why there are differences in Islamic practices despite following the same Quran and Prophet's teachings. He explains that these differences are based on various interpretations and should not cause division. Practices like prayer rituals may vary, but they all have valid evidence. Muslims should respect these differences and focus on unity.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that a Muslim is someone who follows the main practices of Islam, like praying and fasting, making them outwardly Muslim. A Momin is a true believer whose heart is fully committed to Islam, acting with deep faith and dedication. In short, a Muslim performs Islamic duties, while a Momin believes and lives them with full sincerity.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that achieving change through non-violent methods, like Gandhi’s movement against the British, is not rebellion. After World War II, the British left India peacefully, as they couldn’t stay due to external pressures. Despite conflicts between Hindus and Muslims, no British were harmed during the independence struggle.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed says that ulema (Islamic scholars) inherit the spiritual knowledge of prophets, like the Quran and Sunnah, not material wealth. Their main role is to spread these teachings. However, he disagrees with the idea that only ulema should rule, as governance in Islam isn't limited to scholars. Instead, leading the community is a shared responsibility, not a theocracy run by a single group.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses whether Friday sermons (khutbah) can be given in Urdu, as most people don't understand Arabic. He believes the khutbah should be in a language that people can understand to spread religious knowledge. While Arabic is traditional, delivering it in Urdu can help more people grasp the message. He also emphasizes the importance of educating people to understand Arabic in the future.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that while traditional Islamic teachings prohibited hand-made images, modern photography and videos are different and widely accepted by scholars for essential needs like IDs and education. He believes using videos for spreading Islam is justified because it combines visuals and sound, making the message more impactful and effective for dawat-o-tableegh, as long as it does not involve anything inherently haram.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Surah Ash-Shura, Ayah 13 refers to the struggle to establish Tawheed (the oneness of Allah) in all areas of life. Some scholars, like Maulana Maududi, see this as including political dominance, while others focus on the Prophets' role in spreading Allah’s message and purifying souls. The main goal is to ensure people understand and follow Allah’s guidance in this world and the Hereafter.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that his organization has not yet reached its goal in rural areas, but believes change is still achievable. He compares their struggle to the long efforts of past prophets, like Prophet Noah. Despite challenges, their work is growing in rural regions such as Punjab and Sindh. He emphasizes that true revolutions are driven by dedication and effort, not elections. Dr. Ahmed Israr stresses that real change comes from hard work, not just political votes.

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 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 explains that the Quran does not specify the exact locations of Jannah and Jahannum. The current universe will be replaced with a new system, and Earth will reveal all buried within it during resurrection. The actual locations of Paradise and Hell are known only to Allah, and any speculation, like planets being given to Jannah’s inhabitants, is beyond human understanding.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Hazrat Luqman was a Siddiq (truthful believer) with strong faith, not a prophet. Unlike regular believers, Siddiqs don’t require a prophet’s message to confirm their faith. He also mentions Hazrat Waraqah bin Nawfal, a Christian scholar, as the first to affirm Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)'s prophethood. Waraqah recognized the angel Jibreel and foretold the opposition the Prophet would face from his people.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that life insurance is not permissible in Islam because it involves elements of gambling and interest (riba), which are prohibited. Insurance companies often invest in interest-based businesses, making the profits haram. Additionally, if you fail to make premium payments, the money you've already paid may be lost, which is unfair. He advises Muslims to avoid life insurance schemes. Instead, they should rely on Allah and seek halal ways to fulfill their financial needs.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Allah's knowledge of our actions doesn’t take away our free will, so accountability is still necessary. He stresses paying Haq Mehr right after marriage, discusses the issue of three talaqs, and highlights Hazrat Umar’s rulings. He says patang bazi is allowed if done safely but criticizes it as a harmful cultural practice. He also talks about women's rights, in-laws being mahram, and sharing family responsibilities fairly.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed emphasizes that Islam strictly forbids the exploitation of women, such as buying or selling them. In the case of war, women captured lawfully are treated with dignity and given opportunities to earn their freedom. Islam encourages fair and respectful treatment, ensuring no coercion. The concept of freedom can be earned through mutual agreements, not force. Overall, Islam stresses justice and human rights, even in difficult situations like war.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that women are not forbidden from going to mosques. In the Prophet’s (PBUH) time, women attended Eid and Jumu'ah prayers for learning through the Khutbah. Today, with many ways to access knowledge, attending these prayers is less necessary. Though Caliph Umar (RA) restricted it later, it is still allowed and not sinful, but the need for it has reduced over time.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed says there are two systems: one is the government system and the other is the Jamaat system. In the Jamaat, people can join or leave freely and still be Muslims. In a government system, everyone in a region is part of that government. If there's a problem with the leadership, people can leave but remain Muslims. The Islamic state must follow the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah, with rules to ensure it stays true to Islam.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Masjid al-Aqsa, originally the Temple of Solomon, was destroyed and rebuilt multiple times before its ruin by the Romans in 70 CE. During Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) Miraj, the site had no major structure. Hazrat Umar later prayed nearby and cleaned the area. Caliph Abdul Malik built the Dome of the Rock over a sacred stone, while Masjid al-Aqsa lies to its south.

In this clip, Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) faced tests from society and family, including being thrown into a fire and asked to sacrifice his son. He passed each test with unwavering faith, leading Allah to grant him leadership over humanity.
