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 discusses Hazrat Umar's refusal to let the Prophet ﷺ write a will, an incident often criticized by some Shia groups. He highlights the importance of verifying such narrations. The refusal can be understood given the Prophet's weak condition at the time. Dr. Israr Ahmed concludes that Hazrat Umar's decision was wise and accepted by others.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that praying without feeling spiritual peace is still a significant act of obedience to Allah. If someone prays despite distractions or struggles, their effort holds greater value and reward. Praying out of habit or for enjoyment may reduce the spiritual merit, as it becomes routine. True devotion is shown when prayer is done purely to fulfill Allah's command, even without personal comfort.
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 explores whether a revolution like Iran's is possible in Pakistan, highlighting that Iran’s revolution focused on removing un-Islamic leadership and empowering scholars. He acknowledges differences in Shia and Sunni views on leadership and believes that a similar revolution in Pakistan would require much more effort and a different approach, as political elections or preaching alone wouldn't achieve it.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Bai'ah is a pledge to support Allah’s deen, where both men and women commit to following His commands. Men pledge to obey their leader as long as it aligns with Shariah, while women vow to avoid actions displeasing to Allah. Both pledge to sacrifice wealth and life for the cause of Islam. The commitment involves striving for the religion, even in difficult times. Ultimately, the goal is to raise Allah’s deen and make His name supreme.
In the clip Israr Dr Ahmed explains that milk-e-yameen (concubines) is only allowed during true jihad fisabilillah and does not require nikah, but freeing and marrying them is a noble act. Such captives should be treated justly and integrated into society. Muslim men can marry Christian or Jewish women (Ahl-e-Kitab), but Muslim women cannot marry non-Muslim men. This is because children follow the father’s religion, and the family is led by the man in Islamic law.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that riya kari (showing off) happens when good deeds are done to gain people’s praise instead of pleasing Allah. Feeling happy about doing good is natural and not riya kari unless the intent is to seek admiration. Sincerity in intention is key, as Allah blesses those who act only for His sake, making both angels and people love them.
In the clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed talks about the story of Hazrat Jibraeel (A.S) and discusses the concepts of Islam and Imaan, their importance, requirements in this world and the hereafter, and the difference between believers of Imaan and believers of Islam.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed says until Islam is everywhere, Prophet Muhammad's job isn't done. He wants Islam to help everyone. That means sharing Islam's teachings all over the world. While some places follow Islam, it's not everywhere yet. The goal is to make sure everyone benefits from Prophet Muhammad's message.
In the video Dr Israr Ahmed discusses why Pakistan lacks an Islamic system, pointing out political distractions and the misuse of Islam for political gain. He emphasizes the difference between Islamic law and an Islamic system, stressing the need for both. Dr Israr Ahmed insists that only by implementing Islamic law can a fair and just society be achieved.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that in Islam, a true bankrupt is someone who, despite performing many good deeds, has wronged others or taken their rights. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) taught that such a person will face severe consequences in the Hereafter. Even devout appearances can’t save them from the punishment for their harmful actions.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that "ikhtilaf" means disagreement, which is normal and can happen respectfully, like the differences between scholars. However, when these disagreements lead to division and hostility within the community, it's called "tafarruq," which is harmful. He emphasizes that while disagreements are natural, they should not break the unity of the Muslim community.
In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed talks about insurance policies and interest (riba). He says most current insurance policies involve interest, so they should be avoided. He advises people to trust in God for their future needs and avoid anything doubtful, as God is the true provider for everyone.
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 explains that Meezan in the Quran stands for balance and justice. It represents Allah's system of fairness seen in nature and in divine law. When society follows this balanced system, it brings blessings and benefits everyone. However, an unjust system harms society by favoring the powerful. The Quran, along with this concept of Meezan, provides a complete guide to living a fair and balanced life.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that stopping wrongdoing should only be done when there's a chance to make a positive change. If confronting it could cause harm or conflict, it's better to avoid it. He stresses the importance of focusing on personal improvement rather than trying to fix everything. The outcome is ultimately in Allah’s hands. The key is to act wisely, without creating unnecessary problems.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed emphasizes that to strengthen faith (imaan), it's important to join religious groups focused on learning, spreading Islam, and self-discipline. These groups, like Tanzeem-e-Islami or Tablighi Jamaat, help in improving faith through collective efforts. The key is to first build a strong faith, then participate in such groups for spiritual growth. The user is advised to pray to Allah for guidance and patience.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains the difference between weak faith and hypocrisy. Weak faith leads to a lack of passion in worship and adherence to Shariah but involves self-awareness and efforts to improve through repentance. Hypocrisy, however, includes actions that contradict faith or deliberate hostility towards Islam and sincere believers. Hypocrites hide their true intentions, develop jealousy, and oppose those dedicated to Islam. Weak faith is an internal struggle, while hypocrisy is marked by deceit and defiance.
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.
