In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that waswasay, or disturbing thoughts, are caused by Shiatan and cannot be completely stopped because Allah allows them. People have the choice not to act on these thoughts, and focusing on Allah and strengthening faith can help reduce them. Worrying too much about worldly matters gives Shiatan more chances to disturb you, but feeling troubled by these thoughts shows strong faith.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that a coward is a true believer who may lack courage but still has faith in Allah. A hypocrite, however, only pretends to believe and is focused on worldly gains, with no real faith. The hypocrite may lie and hold grudges against other Muslims, showing their lack of genuine belief.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that while it’s natural to feel love for one’s homeland, Islam discourages extreme nationalism. He warns against making the country the main focus of identity, which could lead to justifying wrong actions for its pride. Instead, he emphasizes a balanced approach, where love for country shouldn’t override moral and religious values.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Khawarij were declared outside Islam because they wrongly believed that committing a major sin made someone a disbeliever who must be killed. Similarly, those who deny the finality of Prophethood are also outside Islam because they reject a core belief, not because of their actions.

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 in Islam, the most important duty at a given time takes priority. Ignoring it, even for other good deeds, holds no reward. For example, during a battle, fighting is necessary, and personal worship at that time would not be rewarded. Rewards depend on fulfilling the right responsibility in the right situation.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains whether installment-based transactions, like leasing, are permissible in Islam. In Hanafi Fiqh, selling an item at a higher price for deferred payment is allowed, but he criticizes this practice, arguing it resembles interest and lacks clear evidence from the Quran or Hadith. While some scholars permit it based on common practice, Dr. Israr questions the justification and views it as problematic.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that democracy is not an Islamic system because sovereignty belongs only to Allah. However, he considers it better than martial law for Pakistan as a temporary solution. He believes an Islamic system can only be established through revolution, not through democracy. This is because democracy gives equal weight to all votes, regardless of a person’s righteousness or morality.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that while Tablighi Jamaat focuses on spreading religion and strengthening faith, it is not a political movement. However, their work can prepare people for change by increasing religious awareness. He shares an example from 1977 where a Tablighi member showed great courage in a political movement. Dr. Israr Ahmed believes real revolution needs both faith and active struggle against injustice.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed stressed starting with self-reform and applying Islam in personal and family life before spreading it to society. He highlighted that perfection isn’t necessary, but consistent effort is. Using examples from Prophets, he explained the need to balance personal growth and societal change. He also urged unity among Islamic groups, focusing on shared goals rather than divisions, and emphasized respectful dialogue for collective progress.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that loving your homeland is natural and allowed in Islam, but it should not be more important than love for Allah, His Messenger, and following Islamic teachings. Islam does not support nationalism that prioritizes the country over religion. Loving your homeland is fine, but faith and obedience to Allah must come first.

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 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 discusses the concept of intercession (Shafa'at) in Islam, explaining that it is a complex issue. He mentions that while the Quran denies certain types of intercession, it also allows intercession for those whom Allah grants permission. Intercession is not about someone having the power to act on their own but requires divine approval. Dr. Israr emphasizes that the idea of intercession should be understood correctly and that it is only valid if Allah permits it.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains why a grandchild (pota) does not inherit from a deceased grandparent if their own parent (the son or daughter of the deceased) is still alive. If the son is alive, the grandchild does not receive inheritance. However, if the son is deceased, the grandchild can inherit, as the inheritance would pass to the next line. He also explains that while the grandchild may not inherit, they can receive a gift or will from the grandparent during their lifetime, within legal limits.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains the need for ijma (consensus) when companions had differing opinions on issues. For example, after the Battle of Ahzab, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) told Muslims not to pray Asr until they reached Banu Qurayzah. Some delayed the prayer as instructed, while others prayed on time, interpreting the command differently. Both actions were accepted. This highlights the importance of understanding the wisdom behind commands and using ijma to address disagreements in such matters.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that before Islam is dominant, Jihad is a personal duty (Fard-e-Ain) involving self-struggle, spreading truth, and resisting false ideas peacefully. After an Islamic state is established, Jihad becomes a collective duty (Fard-e-Kifaya), handled by the government for defense and law enforcement.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that while looking at a woman inappropriately is not a legal crime, it is an ethical sin in Islam, known as "zina of the eyes." The first glance is allowed, but staring or further actions are sinful. Zina includes not just physical acts but also thoughts and intentions. Unintentional thoughts are not punishable, but deliberate actions are.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the spiritual impact of Quranic lessons fades over time. He uses the example of Hazrat Hanzala (RA), who felt a change in his spirituality away from the Prophet (PBUH). The Prophet explained that such intense feelings are temporary and can’t last constantly. Similarly, Quranic gatherings have a powerful but fleeting impact.
