In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed clarifies that Allama Iqbal, while a great thinker and poet, was not a religious figure or infallible. He acknowledges Iqbal's intellectual contributions but does not use "Rahmatullah" for him, as he wasn’t a religious authority. Similarly, he refers to his own late father as "marhoom," praying for Allah's mercy on him. Dr. Israr emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between intellectual and religious roles.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that a superiority complex leads to arrogance, making one feel above others. Instead of pride, a person should practice humility. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) demonstrated this humility when He entered Makkah with His head lowered. Humility reflects true strength and respect. Arrogance, on the other hand, is a sign of weakness.

Dr. Israr Ahmed discusses how both sinners and innocents may face consequences in the Quran. Allah promises protection for those who promote good and deter evil, but severe punishment awaits those who persist in immorality and indecency.

In this clip, Dr Israr Ahmed discusses Hazrat Umar's profound love for Prophet Muhammad (SAW), emphasizing obedience as a pathway to Allah's love and forgiveness. Umar's declaration of love for the Prophet illustrates the importance of devotion and following his teachings.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses how Islam can establish its system and the role of war in it.

In a video, Dr. Israr Ahmed explains Surah Al-Ikhlas from the Quran. He discusses its translation and meaning, highlighting its importance. This short chapter emphasizes that Allah is one, unique, and has no equal. Allah has no parents or children and is self-sufficient. This surah is a powerful statement of monotheism in Islam.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed addresses the tension between reason and faith, advising to reject misleading thoughts as whispers of Shaitan and seek refuge in Allah. He emphasizes the importance of aligning reason with divine guidance from the Quran and Sunnah to avoid straying from the path of true guidance.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Quran emphasizes keeping promises and commitments in all parts of life. Whether at work, in marriage, or any agreement, everyone must honor their commitments. Breaking promises leads to dishonesty and injustice. Trustworthiness is crucial for a good life, and without it, one cannot truly have faith or religion.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses the Quran's unmatched eloquence and literary beauty. He explains that while everyone can appreciate its message, only native Arabic speakers, especially those from the Prophet's time, can fully understand its linguistic brilliance. Even the best poets of that era admitted they couldn't match the Quran's eloquence.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that to avoid confusion and conflicts (fitna), it's important to follow the Quran and Hadith. He emphasizes that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was responsible for explaining the Quran where needed. Rejecting Hadith is dangerous because it helps clarify the Quran. The Prophet advised that during times of great fitna, the best way to stay on the right path is by holding firmly to the Quran, which connects us to Allah and guides us in life.

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 explains that although the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) addressed everyone, he focuses on intellectuals because they help shape society. To bring lasting change, the minds of these thinkers must be influenced. His organization, Tanzeem-e-Islami, encourages all Muslims to follow Islam fully and work towards creating an Islamic system. This duty belongs to every Muslim, not just scholars. If people don't appreciate this work, Allah will guide others who will.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Hazrat Umar (RA) is thought to have stopped the writing of Hadiths to avoid confusion with the Quran. He was concerned about mistakes due to the lack of reliable writing methods at that time. While his caution was understandable, it's essential to look at the history behind his choices.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that after an Islamic revolution, the ideal system should be based on the Quran, Sunnah, and the Khilafat-e-Rashida. He says the focus should be on these, not on any specific school of thought (fiqh). However, if a fiqh like Hanafi takes over, he would accept it as better than the current system. He also points out that discussions in Pakistan have always focused on the Quran and Sunnah, not on any one fiqh.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed clarifies that not every fight for an Islamic government is jihad fi sabilillah (struggle for Allah). True jihad promotes Islamic values, like in the early caliphate. In Kashmir, freedom fighters are involved in jihad-e-hurriyat, which is valid but may not be true jihad unless it aligns with Islamic goals. Dr. Israr Ahmed states that an Islamic government must follow Islamic teachings; otherwise, its legitimacy can be questioned.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that true faith (yaqeen wala emaan) is developed in three ways: first, by spending time with good, sincere people, which naturally strengthens faith; second, by consistently practicing religious duties, which builds conviction; and third, by studying and reflecting on the Quran, which creates a deeper, more conscious understanding of faith. These practices lead to a genuine transformation and a strong, intellectual faith.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that khanqahiat in Islam means spiritual centers focused on inner growth and helping others, without needing to leave worldly life. Rahbaniyat, on the other hand, involves complete withdrawal from society. Khanqahs (spiritual centers) have been important in spreading Islam and guiding Muslims while staying connected to society.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Shiatan (Iblees) was not an angel but a jinn, as confirmed in the Quran. Although he was commanded to bow to Adam along with the angels, he refused. Some people mistakenly think he was an angel because he was often in their company, but unlike angels, who always obey Allah, jinn have free will.
