In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that people form new groups when they feel existing ones don’t meet their goals. He doesn’t consider other groups un-Islamic but thinks they may not fully meet today’s needs. He went through different groups before starting Tanzeem-e-Islami. He advises choosing a group that feels right, committing to it, and staying open to better paths if they appear.

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 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 highlights the importance of connecting directly with the Quran by learning Arabic, as translations cannot capture its full spiritual and emotional impact. He encourages students to focus on Quranic teachings during their education, as this was the foundation of the Prophet's training system. Learning Arabic, he says, is achievable and key to truly understanding Islam.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explained that Jihad means struggle or effort. It can be through words, like teaching or advising others (Jihad bil-lisan), or through actions, like stopping wrongdoings. The most important jihad is through the Quran (Jihad bil-Quran). Physical fighting (Jihad fi-sabil) is a specific form of jihad, which became important after the Prophet’s migration to Madinah. The main difference is between striving with knowledge and words versus fighting.

In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed talks about Iran's Islamic revolution and why it's important. He says that America, Israel, and Europe see Iran and Pakistan as their main targets. Iran is targeted because of its successful religious revolution and oil resources. Pakistan is targeted because of its history in Islamic reform. Both countries are very important in the Muslim world.

In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed explains "shirk fil muhabbat," where love for anything surpasses love for Allah, highlighting Quranic comparisons of love. He emphasizes the necessity of prioritizing love for Allah over all else, referencing a verse from Surah Tawbah.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed outlines Islam with two facets: "religion" and "way of life." The term "mazhab" is absent in the Quran, applied to sects like Hanafi, Maliki, etc. True religion aligns with Allah's law, Sharia. Those diverging are deemed misguided.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed says to control desires by avoiding tempting situations, like being alone with someone you're not related to. Looking with desire at someone is wrong. Always have a family member around when meeting with unrelated people to avoid temptation. These rules help keep you modest and prevent wrongdoing.

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 highlights that the Muslim Ummah has strayed from its true purpose, becoming materialistic and forgetting its duty to guide others. He calls for a smaller, conscious group within the Ummah to awaken and take responsibility for reviving Islamic values. This group would lead by example, aiming to restore the true spirit of Islam.

In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed discusses the importance of conveying Allah's message to others. He explains that as servants of Allah, it's our duty to share His teachings and guide people toward worship. The Quran uses terms like "tableegh" and "dawah" to describe this process. Dr. Israr Ahmed also highlights how even the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was reminded to fully convey Allah’s message and not to ignore any part of it, emphasizing the importance of reaching out to everyone, including those who might seem less important.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that in early Islamic governance under Mullah Umar, there were no significant resources or funds. Despite this, they enforced Islamic punishments, which greatly reduced crimes like theft, adultery, and robbery. He believes that applying these strict punishments can nearly eliminate crime in society.

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 the clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed talks about a crucial moment during the Battle of Ahzab. It was tough for the Muslims, with a big army surrounding them. Some people showed they weren't truly faithful, accusing Allah and the Prophet of lying. But the true believers stayed strong, showing their sincerity. This event teaches us that tough times reveal who's really loyal and who's not.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses how Islam helps with sadness, worry, and stress. He says the Quran guides us to heal our hearts, using the example of soft soil absorbing rain. By letting go of negative emotions like pride and greed, we find peace.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Quran does not say Hazrat Isa (Jesus) is alive, but it mentions that Allah took him to Himself. He will return in the future, as confirmed by authentic hadiths in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. Both Muslims and Christians believe in his miraculous birth without a father. Hazrat Isa was sent to guide the people of Israel and will return to defeat their enemies.

In the clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed discusses hypocrites and the Battle of the Trench. He explains how "fooq" in the Quran refers to Jews and nearby tribes. The believers face a severe test, akin to a climax, exposing hypocrites who seek excuses to leave the battlefield out of fear for their lives.

In this passage Dr Israr Ahmed recounts a story about Hazrat Umar's profound love for Prophet Muhammad. It emphasizes the importance of loving the Prophet more than oneself and being willing to obey his commands. It concludes by highlighting Allah's forgiveness for any mistakes made out of intense emotions, as long as there is sincere love for Him and His Messenger.

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.
