In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed believes that Quran translation shouldn't be taught in high school because students are too young to fully understand its deeper meanings. Instead, he suggests focusing on Quran recitation in primary school and teaching Arabic in high school, along with lessons on ethics and moral values. This approach would help students grasp the Quran's message better as they mature.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses if it’s acceptable to stand in front of elders, scholars, or parents. He says standing to greet someone is fine, but standing in a prayer-like way is not allowed, especially at religious sites. For instance, standing in front of the Prophet's grave like in prayer is forbidden. He stresses that only Allah deserves that level of respect, and while it's okay to show respect to others, it shouldn’t resemble worship.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the goal of Tanzim Islami is to establish an Islamic system (Iqamat-e-Deen) through two efforts: spreading Islam’s message and working for its implementation. While individuals can follow some Islamic rules personally, establishing a full Islamic system needs collective effort and struggle. He emphasizes that organizations must focus on this goal rather than just general religious activities.

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 explains that educational reform is important for a religious change, but it’s just the beginning. First, people’s thinking and ideas need to change. Then, they can come together to create power and change the system. Education, preaching, and moral training help in this process. The real challenge is to take action, write, and contribute, even when it’s difficult.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Islamic system under Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) lasted only 30 years, but it was still a great success. Unlike other systems, Islam worked well during that time. People weren't ready to keep it going longer, and they didn’t fully understand the difference between the state and government. This brief period remains an inspiring example of a fair and just system.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that disagreements in Tanzeem-e-Islami are natural and healthy if handled responsibly. They should not disrupt discipline or unity and must be expressed through proper channels with authorized members. It’s important to avoid burdening others or demotivating them, and personal ego or pride must not interfere. Unity, humility, and respect for organizational rules are essential when dealing with differences.

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 why he openly discusses his revolutionary process, unlike some groups that keep their plans secret. He believes transparency is important for people to understand the vision, drawing from historical examples like the Prophets (SAW). He acknowledges that people resist change without full understanding, but stresses that openness is essential. For him, sharing the process is neither a mistake nor a crime, but a necessary step for achieving a clear goal.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that holding weddings in Muharram is allowed in Islam and not against its teachings. The idea of avoiding weddings in Muharram comes from cultural traditions, not religion. He emphasizes that significant events like martyrdom in other months never stopped weddings, so Muharram should not be treated differently.

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 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 explains that interest (riba) is a grave sin and deeply ingrained in modern economic systems, making it challenging to avoid entirely. Islam forbids any involvement in riba, whether earning, paying, or facilitating it, as it corrupts both individuals and society. While necessity may offer some leniency, passively accepting or supporting this system is not permissible. He emphasizes that Muslims must actively seek lawful alternatives, minimize reliance on riba, and work towards reforming the system to align with Islamic principles.

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 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 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 video, Dr. Israr Ahmed shares five concise pieces of advice from Hazrat Luqman (RA) to his son: 1. Avoid associating partners with Allah. 2. Actions, no matter how small, will be rewarded. 3. Maintain regular prayer. 4. Promote good and discourage evil. 5. Practice patience always.
