In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Muslims should support oppressed people, especially in places like Kashmir and India. He warns that if Pakistan doesn’t follow Islamic principles, it could face serious problems and even break apart. Pakistan was made for Islam, and ignoring this purpose could lead to worse situations than Bosnia. He urges immediate action to bring an Islamic system to the country.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that in Islam, the most important duty at a given time takes priority. Ignoring it, even for other good deeds, holds no reward. For example, during a battle, fighting is necessary, and personal worship at that time would not be rewarded. Rewards depend on fulfilling the right responsibility in the right situation.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that an Islamic government cannot be established without sacrifice. While peaceful efforts like education and organization are important, true change requires replacing the current system, which often involves bloodshed. Only those who practice Islam in their lives can unite to bring real change. Simple elections cannot create an Islamic system.
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. He believes using videos for spreading Islam is justified because it combines visuals and sound, making the message more impactful and effective for dawat-o-tableegh, as long as it does not involve anything inherently haram.
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 conflicts among the Sahabah escalated due to propaganda and chaos, making it hard to determine who was right. Despite efforts for peace, the situation was too complex to resolve. He highlights that external manipulation fueled the disputes and critiques some historical analyses for ignoring these deeper causes.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that calling Islamic movements a "failure" is wrong. He compares it to the Prophet Muhammad’s struggles in Makkah, which seemed unsuccessful but were part of a bigger plan. Establishing Islam takes time and happens over generations. Every sincere effort counts, is rewarded by Allah, and contributes to the ongoing growth of Islam.
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 explains that in a society with many sects, establishing Islamic governance through elections creates divisions, as each group prioritizes its identity and symbols. Instead, he emphasizes unity against common evils (munkar) through collective struggle (jihad). He argues that while this path is challenging and risky, it leads to true unity and addresses the root causes of disunity and external dominance.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that his views on the Tablighi Jamaat balance praise and criticism. He appreciates their efforts in spreading religious devotion and selfless dedication to Islam but critiques their narrow focus on personal worship, neglecting broader aspects like societal and political reform. He believes acknowledging both strengths and shortcomings is essential, as neither love nor dislike should blind one to the truth.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Tanzeem-e-Islami doesn’t include other groups in its protests because past demonstrations were disorganized and led to chaos. He suggests future protests could be more effective if done in collaboration with other groups, but only if they are peaceful and well-organized. Tanzeem-e-Islami focuses on maintaining discipline to make their efforts more powerful.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Hadiths were already being shared and recorded during the Rashidun Caliphate, even before they were compiled 300 years later. Scholars like Imam Bukhari carefully gathered authentic Hadiths, separating them from false ones. Abu Huraira RA, who spent the most time with the Prophet (PBUH), narrated the most Hadiths.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that healing is ultimately from Allah, whether through medicine or other means. Using taveez or jhad phoonk is permissible if done correctly, without un-Islamic practices. Muslims should place complete trust in Allah, not in these practices. Seeking medical treatment is fine, but always remember that Allah is the true healer.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that "Taghoot" refers to anything or anyone that demands worship or obedience other than Allah. It can also mean crossing boundaries, such as idolizing something beyond its rightful place. Forcing submission to anyone except Allah is considered "Taghoot." True Islamic leadership does not seek to make people submit to them, but to Allah alone.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Islam allows Muslim men to marry women from Ahl-e-Kitab (Jews and Christians), as stated in the Quran. He argues this permission remains valid even today, despite changes in their beliefs, as similar issues existed during the Quran's revelation. However, it is ideal if the woman converts to Islam before marriage.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed highlights that while Muslims have gained political freedom, they remain mentally influenced by the West. To break this, he suggests studying and presenting Islamic teachings, especially on topics like politics, at a high academic level. This will help show that Islam offers its own solutions and guidance, reducing reliance on Western ideas.
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 advises against trying to change the direction of established movements, as their ideologies are deeply rooted. He suggests that if you don't agree with a group's approach, it's better to either join a different one or create your own path. Focusing on positive work and avoiding unnecessary conflicts is key. This approach allows for productive change without wasting time or causing friction.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that loving your homeland is natural and allowed in Islam, but it should not be more important than love for Allah, His Messenger, and following Islamic teachings. Islam does not support nationalism that prioritizes the country over religion. Loving your homeland is fine, but faith and obedience to Allah must come first.
