In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed explains true righteousness in Islam. It's not just about facing a certain direction in prayer. It includes having faith in Allah, the Last Day, angels, divine books, and all prophets. It means giving to those in need, praying consistently, paying zakat, keeping promises, and showing patience in hardships. These actions define a truly righteous person according to the Quran.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Islam teaches a balanced approach to dealing with beggars. We should not shame those who ask for help because they are already vulnerable. Instead, offer meaningful support to help them become self-reliant. If you can't help, politely say so without being harsh. Avoid encouraging a culture of begging by giving small amounts; provide real assistance when you can.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Quranic concept of patience (sabr) is about enduring hardships and staying firm in the path of Allah, especially during struggles. He cites examples like the Banu Hashim's siege and battles where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his followers faced hunger and pain. True patience is about standing strong for truth and justice, not just personal spiritual practices.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that true love for the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is shown by fully following his teachings and obeying Allah. Simply claiming to love the Prophet isn’t enough; it must be backed by action. On the Day of Judgment, some may find that their claims of love were not accepted by Allah because they didn’t truly follow the Prophet. Obeying Allah and His Messenger is essential in Islam, and sincere repentance is always accepted by Allah.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that true believers are afraid of being hypocrites, while hypocrites don’t worry about it. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said that only true believers fear hypocrisy. He tells a story about a Sahabi, Hazrat Hanzala (RA), who was worried that he was becoming a hypocrite because he felt less spiritual when he wasn't with the Prophet (SAW). The Prophet (SAW) assured him that it's normal for faith to rise and fall, and this doesn't mean he is a hypocrite.

In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed explains hypocrisy in Islam, likening it to a disease with clear symptoms and serious consequences. He describes hypocrites as those who pretend to believe but actually reject faith. The Quran warns about their behavior and severe punishment, especially in Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah An-Nisa, and Surah At-Tawbah. Dr. Israr emphasizes that true faith requires both belief and practice, not just outward claims.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed teaches that regular remembrance of Allah (zikr) is crucial for spiritual well-being. A spiritual guide can help diagnose and treat spiritual issues like a doctor does for physical health. Consistent zikr, including prayers and Quran recitation, strengthens the heart and prevents spiritual weaknesses. This practice guards against hypocrisy and negative influences.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that hypocrisy (nifaq) develops when someone loves wealth and the world too much. To prevent or cure it, he advises giving generously in the way of Allah. By doing this, a person can weaken the hold of materialism on their heart. If not addressed, hypocrisy can lead to a rejection of truth and opposition to sincere believers. The best way to overcome this is to keep spending and remain mindful of Allah.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses the worst type of shirk, which is believing that Allah has partners or children. This includes false beliefs like angels being Allah’s daughters or Jesus being His son. Such ideas are severe insults to Allah's greatness. These wrong beliefs have appeared in different historical communities. It’s important to understand and avoid these serious errors. Recognizing these mistakes helps maintain the purity of worship.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about "Ilm-e-Ghaib" (knowledge of the unseen) in Islam. It explains that Ghaib includes things we cannot see, like angels, though Prophet Muhammad (SAW) saw them in their true form. The Prophet's knowledge is given by Allah, not something he has on his own, and it's not unlimited. The speaker stresses that we should be careful when discussing the extent of the Prophet's knowledge, as only Allah knows everything. The key point is that we must understand our limits in comprehending these matters.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that true worship involves both deep love and complete obedience to Allah. When you love Allah fully, your obedience becomes worship. He warns against worshipping things like fame or power, emphasizing that only Allah deserves this devotion. True worship is an expression of love and submission to Allah.

In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed talks about how Prophet Muhammad (SAW) established an Islamic society. He criticizes a Western historian who made negative comments about the Prophet, especially regarding his marriages. However, the historian also admits that the Prophet was the first to implement principles of equality, brotherhood, and freedom in society. Dr. Israr emphasizes the importance of learning from the Prophet's teachings and sharing these values with the world.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses the importance of Surah Rahman, which the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) called the "Bride of the Quran" for its beauty. He shares that Allah loves to listen to the Quran and praises beautiful recitation. The names "Rahman" and "Raheem" highlight Allah's immense and continuous mercy. The key takeaway is the significance of reciting the Quran thoughtfully and appreciating Allah's mercy.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the rise and fall of Muslims is linked to their relationship with the Quran. When Muslims follow the Quran, they gain honor and strength. Neglecting it leads to disgrace and weakness. The Quran has the power to uplift and guide nations. It transformed Arabs into a great civilization. Without the Quran, Muslims will struggle and decline.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains how Islam ended the constant fighting among the Arabs during the time of ignorance. The Arabs, who were always at war over small disputes, became brothers through Allah's guidance and the teachings of the Quran. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) helped unite them, turning enemies into close companions, and brought peace and unity where there was once division and conflict.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the key to Muslim unity is understanding the Quran. He highlights that even when Muslims faced difficulties, Allah guided them out of those troubles. Similarly, Allah continues to guide and clarify the message of the Quran to help people find the right path.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the highest right in Islam is to uphold truth and justice. This includes correcting minor wrongs and challenging unjust systems. He cites a story where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) insisted on justice even when faced with resistance, illustrating that upholding truth involves confronting and challenging any form of injustice or false system.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Hijrat (migration) in Islam means leaving behind anything that displeases Allah. The most important form of Hijrat is to stop sinful actions. The migration to Medina was an obligatory Hijrat for Muslims, while the migration to Abyssinia was allowed for those who couldn’t bear persecution. Hijrat is about committing to follow Allah’s will, whether by changing your actions or, if needed, physically moving.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed describes Islam as submission to Allah's will. Ita'at involves obeying Allah with love and sincerity. Taqwa is about avoiding sins and staying within the boundaries set by Allah. These three elements together form Ibadah, which is the act of worshiping Allah. This understanding of worship has been emphasized by all prophets.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Quran mentions three groups: those who reject the truth due to pride and are closed off from guidance, hypocrites who outwardly pretend to follow Islam but lack true belief, and the universal message of the Quran, which invites everyone to worship the Creator. This message aims to guide all of humanity, urging them to avoid the punishment that comes on Judgment Day by embracing true faith.
