In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that if you're in a position of authority, like being the head of a family, it's your duty to guide others to do good and avoid evil. These two responsibilities are equally important and must always be done together. Ignoring one while focusing only on the other is not true to Islam. The Quran stresses this balance, and it's a key part of living a proper Islamic life.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Islam is based on both the Quran and the Sunnah (teachings of Prophet Muhammad SAW). The Quran provides guidance, but it is the Sunnah that explains how to put that guidance into practice, such as how to perform prayers. Both are necessary to establish Islam as a complete way of life, including its social, political, and economic systems. The purpose of Prophet Muhammad's mission was to implement and make this complete system of life, known as Deen-e-Haq, supreme over all other systems.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that during Friday sermons, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) would recite parts of the Quran to remind people of their purpose in life and to strengthen their faith. He often recited Surah Al-A'la and Surah Al-Ghashiyah because they focus on reminding believers of their duties to Allah. The main goal of the Friday sermon is to help people remember their purpose and encourage them to live their lives for Allah.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that true service to humanity is more than just meeting temporary needs like providing food. The greatest service is guiding people towards Allah and helping them prepare for the eternal life in the Hereafter. This world is temporary, and focusing only on it isn't enough. Leading others to the right path and ensuring their success in the afterlife is the ultimate act of service.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that even though Muslims are many and have resources like oil, they still face humiliation. Their blood is being shed in places like Palestine and Kashmir, but it seems worthless. For over 50 years, Muslims have been oppressed and haven't fought back. This weakness and fear are why they continue to face disrespect around the world.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the best form of hijrat (migration) is to give up anything that displeases Allah. He encourages people to immediately stop engaging in things like interest (sood) and to follow Islamic teachings, such as modesty, at home. The highest level of hijrat is when someone leaves everything, even their family, to fight for the establishment of Islam during difficult times.
In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed explains the differences in Islamic views on three divorces (talaq). He says that during the waiting period (iddah), the husband must support his ex-wife. In the four Sunni schools, giving three divorces at once is usually counted as one, but the Shia believe it counts as one divorce. He also notes that two witnesses are needed for a valid divorce.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses how an Islamic government should make laws through parliament, based on Islamic principles (ijtihad). He says running for parliament is permissible, but it is important to have experts ensure that the laws follow Shariah. A system should be in place to check the qualifications and honesty of those entering parliament. This way, laws will align with Islamic guidelines and prevent issues later.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the system set by Prophet Muhammad (SAW) slowly weakened over time, lasting 30 years before collapsing fully after 1,000 years. Sectarianism has divided Muslims, but he believes it can end through unity, as it did during Pakistan's movement.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explain that Allama Iqbal believed that the core of Western success is its focus on practical knowledge and science. He emphasized that ideas should be based on knowledge, not just imagination. This use of science and technology has given the West power in the world. He also noted that earlier civilizations, including Islamic ones, made similar advancements in the past.
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 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 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 teaches that for major sins to be forgiven, one must sincerely repent by feeling genuine regret, stopping the sin, and promising not to do it again. For sins committed against others, it's important to apologize, repair any damage, or give charity if the person has died. This approach ensures true repentance and leads to forgiveness.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that many people join organizations but don’t put in the required effort to bring change, which is essential for a true revolution. He compares this to prayer, where performing it is not enough without sincerity and focus. Similarly, striving against systems that don’t follow Allah’s rule is a personal duty, just like prayer. Joining an organization is not enough; real change needs dedication, consistent effort, and self-reflection.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that differences in certain Islamic practices, like prayer details, reflect flexibility within Islam rather than division. The core elements of worship are consistent across groups, keeping Muslims united. He emphasizes respecting these minor differences, as they align with the Prophet's (PBUH) example, and warns against letting differences disrupt unity.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed says that when Hazrat Isa (AS) returns, he will join Muslims in prayer, showing respect for the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) followers. His main purpose will be to defeat those who opposed him, especially those with powerful weapons. Allah will give him special abilities so that his presence alone will weaken and defeat his enemies, helping to end falsehood and oppression.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that in an Islamic government, opposition is allowed if it follows Shariah. The caliphate isn’t a one-party system but lets people choose between different programs. Parties must stay true to their promises. In a presidential system, decisions are based on honesty, not party influence. Islamic governance balances religion with modern needs.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that mentioning the Rightly Guided Caliphs (Khulafaye Rashideen) in Jumu'ah khutbahs is a matter of personal preference. Some believe only Quran and Hadith should be discussed, while others include the Caliphs' names. Dr. Israr Ahmed personally mentions their virtues, as described in Hadith, to highlight their importance in Islam.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that conflicts among the Sahabah escalated due to propaganda and chaos, making it hard to determine who was right. Despite efforts for peace, the situation was too complex to resolve. He highlights that external manipulation fueled the disputes and critiques some historical analyses for ignoring these deeper causes.
