In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) emphasized the importance of following the true teachings of Islam without adding or changing anything.

Success in faith is for those who remain on the right path.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that while traditional Islamic teachings prohibited hand-made images, modern photography and videos are different and widely accepted by scholars for essential needs like IDs and education.

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.

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 Quran does not say Hazrat Isa (Jesus) is alive, but it mentions that Allah took him to Himself.

Hazrat Isa was sent to guide the people of Israel and will return to defeat their enemies.

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 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 explains that Shab-e-Barat is meant for prayers and seeking Allah’s forgiveness, not for fasting or celebratory customs. He highlights that only one authentic hadith supports its significance, where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed for the deceased in Jannat-ul-Baqi. Practices like lighting lamps and fireworks are influenced by non-Islamic traditions and should be avoided. The true focus of the night is worship, repentance, and seeking mercy from Allah.
