In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed emphasized four points before joining an Islamic group. First, the group should aim to establish Islam, not just focus on education or reform. Second, it should have a strong, disciplined structure. Third, its methods must align with the Sunnah of the Prophet. Lastly, the leadership should reflect Islamic values through their character and actions. These factors ensure the group is genuinely working for the cause of Islam.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explained that merely practicing parts of Islam is not enough for Jannah. One must work to change systems that don't follow Islamic values. Even if someone follows basic practices like prayer and fasting, they must reject and struggle against un-Islamic systems. Efforts to change the system and follow true Islamic principles are key to salvation.
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 highlights the flaws in Pakistan’s democracy and warns against supporting an unjust system for stability. He explains that true Islamic governance needs revolutionary efforts, but neither the public nor religious parties are prepared. Since a vacuum is impossible, only democracy or martial law can prevail, with martial law being dangerous for the country. He predicts political maneuvers for controlled democracy to secure power, observing quietly as events unfold.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that spending in moderation means balancing needs and responsibilities without extravagance. The example of Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) giving all his wealth was an emergency act, not a general rule for daily life. Islam allows donating up to one-third of one’s wealth to ensure heirs are not left in poverty. In striving for Deen, personal sacrifices are necessary, but in normal life, moderation is key to fulfilling both worldly and religious obligations.
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 the "qalb" (heart) in the Quran refers to both the physical heart and the spiritual heart (the soul). While the physical heart pumps blood, the spiritual heart is where a person's true essence lies. When the Quran says people's hearts are blind, it means their souls are blind, not their eyes. Humans have two aspects: the physical (senses like sight and taste) and the spiritual (connected to the soul and processed by the heart).
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that if a husband forbids hijab and threatens divorce, a wife must prioritize Allah’s command. If leaving the marriage causes harm, especially to children, she may tolerate the situation to maintain family stability. However, if separation is simple and without complications, she should leave to follow her faith. Each decision should consider personal circumstances and consequences.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed emphasizes joining a group with the clear goal of establishing Allah’s Deen as a complete system. It should not be limited to preaching, teaching, or reform. The group must have a strong, declared purpose of making Allah’s system dominant. A solid leadership structure (imarat) is necessary. Obedience to leadership and proper discipline are key. Without leadership and unity, it cannot be a true jamaat.
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.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed highlights how to guide youth in establishing Islam despite economic hardships. The key is developing strong faith and a sense of duty toward the struggle for Islam. True believers find joy in enduring hunger and thirst as signs of Allah’s blessings. He references the Battle of Ahzab, where believers viewed challenges as divine promises, while hypocrites felt deceived. Faithful youth see hardships as steps toward spiritual success and higher goals.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that a person can be part of both a Tanzeem and under Bai'at with a spiritual leader at the same time, but it is not ideal. This dual commitment may divide focus and reduce effectiveness. However, if someone joins a Tanzeem, they must prioritize its practical demands over spiritual allegiance. The struggle for collective goals requires greater obedience.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about whether doing group prayers (Ijtamai Dua) and praying 20 rakats of Taraweeh is an innovation (Bid'ah). He explains that Hazrat Umar started the practice of 20 rakats for Taraweeh, which was good because it wasn't done in Hazrat Abu Bakr's time. He also says that different Muslim groups, like Hanafi and Shafi'i, follow this practice. The main idea is that such actions are not Bid'ah if they follow the example of the Prophet and his close companions.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed highlights that establishing an Islamic government faces global opposition, as seen in Afghanistan's downfall due to strategic mistakes and poor decisions. He stresses self-correction, reliance on Allah, and enduring trials as necessary for success, drawing lessons from historical events where internal flaws led to defeat. True victory, he explains, comes through persistence, discipline, and adherence to divine guidance.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Tasawwuf silsilas like Qadriya and Chishtiya were developed to help people connect with Allah through practices like zikr and chilla. These methods emerged when direct guidance was difficult. Each silsila follows its founder’s teachings, aiming for spiritual growth. Although not from the Sunnah, these practices guide individuals toward closeness to Allah.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed emphasizes the importance of living according to Allah’s will by following the Quran and staying connected with a religious group. He advises joining a community for support, avoiding Shaytan's influence, and participating in activities like congregational prayers. Being part of a group like Tanzeem-e-Islami helps maintain the right path, but sincerity and following the Prophet’s way are key.
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 Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Arabic word "Mola" has dual meanings: it can refer to a helper, supporter, or ally, as well as a master, leader, or someone in authority. For example, a freed slave could still be called "Mola" of their former owner. He emphasizes that using this word for humans in either context is valid and that some people unnecessarily create confusion over its usage.
Dr. Israr Ahmed highlights the Quran's caution against prioritizing wealth over the inevitability of death. He stresses the need to seek knowledge from Allah during life. Scholars categorize understanding into three levels: belief, seeing, and absolute truth.
