In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Zikr is remembering Allah, with the Quran being the best way to do this. Other forms, like saying “La ilaha illallah,” are good but not as powerful as the Quran. He also mentions that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) praised the faith of future believers who would trust the Quran without seeing him. In simple terms, while all ways of remembering Allah are valuable, the Quran is the most important.

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 this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Ba'it-e-Jihad today is not just about fighting but includes struggles against wrong beliefs and practices. Jihad, in his view, involves working to spread Islamic values, not rebelling. He says forming political parties is allowed, but their group has chosen not to participate in elections, believing that real change comes from broader efforts, not just voting. They focus on preparing people for a peaceful struggle to achieve Islamic goals.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed highlights that seeking knowledge is a duty for all, whether religious or not. He stresses that religious obligations like prayer, fasting, and spreading Islam are mandatory for everyone. While some flexibility may apply depending on individual circumstances, these duties should be followed. He encourages continuous learning from childhood to death.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed argues that Pakistan’s foundation and stability rely on Islam, as it wasn’t built on race, language, or ethnicity. Unlike other nations, Pakistan has no single unifying language or ethnic identity. For true stability, a shared national identity is needed, and Islam is the only unifying factor that aligns with Pakistan’s original purpose.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed says that ulema (Islamic scholars) inherit the spiritual knowledge of prophets, like the Quran and Sunnah, not material wealth. Their main role is to spread these teachings. However, he disagrees with the idea that only ulema should rule, as governance in Islam isn't limited to scholars. Instead, leading the community is a shared responsibility, not a theocracy run by a single group.

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.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Tanzeem-e-Islami does not ask for public donations but is supported by members who give part of their income voluntarily. This giving is a personal choice, unlike the required Zakat. He says that Islam has both mandatory practices, like fasting, and optional acts, like extra prayers. He also points out that, along with the five pillars, the Prophet (PBUH) taught other practices that are important for a complete understanding of Islam but are often overlooked.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Islam’s economic system is based on two models: Shirakat (shared work and investment) and Mudarabat (one invests, the other works). Islam opposes feudalism and considers all conquered land as communal property. He critiques modern capitalist systems for concentrating wealth and power in a few hands. These systems, influenced by Western and Jewish ideas, are un-Islamic. Dr. Israr emphasizes that true economic reform requires a complete revolution, not gradual changes.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that today’s leader of an Islamic state should be chosen through consultation (mashwarah), not nomination. In the past, leaders were selected based on merit and consultation among the companions of the Prophet (SAW). Today, there is no clear hierarchy among Muslims, so leadership should be based on collective discussion rather than nomination, as seen in the selection of Hazrat Abu Bakr and others.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed reflects on his discussions with Tablighi Jamaat leaders, acknowledging their achievements but questioning their success. He shares his experience of being involved with them for two years before parting ways due to differences. He points out the sectarian divisions within Islamic groups. He also criticizes how politics has shifted their focus from religious duties.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Khawarij were declared outside Islam because they wrongly believed that committing a major sin made someone a disbeliever who must be killed. Similarly, those who deny the finality of Prophethood are also outside Islam because they reject a core belief, not because of their actions.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses whether Friday sermons (khutbah) can be given in Urdu, as most people don't understand Arabic. He believes the khutbah should be in a language that people can understand to spread religious knowledge. While Arabic is traditional, delivering it in Urdu can help more people grasp the message. He also emphasizes the importance of educating people to understand Arabic in the future.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that earlier religious elders (Buzurgan-e-Deen) focused on spreading Islam spiritually, while rulers like the Mughals worked on governance and conquests. However, he believes the current challenges require following the Quran, Sunnah, and the Prophet’s (SAW) example to bring a complete Islamic revolution. Preaching is important, but it must be combined with efforts to reform society and leadership.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that mentioning the Rightly Guided Caliphs (Khulafaye Rashideen) in Jumu'ah khutbahs is a matter of personal preference. Some believe only Quran and Hadith should be discussed, while others include the Caliphs' names. Dr. Israr Ahmed personally mentions their virtues, as described in Hadith, to highlight their importance in Islam.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Quran is profound and no single Tafseer can fully capture its depth. Scholars interpret it based on their knowledge and focus, such as philosophy, logic, or action. Each Tafseer offers a unique perspective but remains limited by human understanding. The Quran’s vastness reflects Allah’s infinite knowledge, beyond complete human grasp.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that a Rasool (Messenger) brings a new divine law, while a Nabi (Prophet) follows an existing one. Every Rasool is a Nabi, but not every Nabi is a Rasool. He also mentions that some prophets, like Hazrat Haroon, were called Rasools even without bringing a new book. A Rasool guides a specific people, and if they reject the message, they face punishment, as seen in the stories of past nations.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed stresses that unity among Islamic groups should develop naturally through sincerity and mutual trust, not forced coalitions. Early efforts focus on individual and organizational reform, while later stages require unified leadership under one Imam. Forced alliances often cause harm, and true unity emerges when groups collaborate with pure intentions and shared goals.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses the challenges of balancing modern education and religious struggle. He emphasizes the need for personal commitment and passion in overcoming distractions and obstacles. By prioritizing faith and being prepared to answer to Allah, individuals can find strength and success in their religious journey, even amidst difficulties.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses whether joining a jamaat (organization) is necessary for Islamic struggle. He explains that leaving a jamaat is allowed if it goes off track, but one should then form or join another. He highlights how the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) started with a small group that grew over time. He also criticizes scholars who leave jamaats without explaining their reasons or offering a clear alternative, stressing their duty to guide others.
