In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed questions whether banks should be closed due to their involvement in interest (sood). He suggests replacing them with investment corporations that share profits and losses, making the system halal. He believes this change is achievable through a revolution that builds awareness and leadership. This would create a fairer financial system without interest.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) mission was to strengthen faith, not seek political power. He outlines a three-step process: building faith, educating with Quran and Hadith, and uniting people to fight evil and promote good. He emphasizes the need to follow this gradual approach for meaningful change. Skipping steps would lead to failure.

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 that interest (riba) is a grave sin and deeply ingrained in modern economic systems, making it challenging to avoid entirely. Islam forbids any involvement in riba, whether earning, paying, or facilitating it, as it corrupts both individuals and society. While necessity may offer some leniency, passively accepting or supporting this system is not permissible. He emphasizes that Muslims must actively seek lawful alternatives, minimize reliance on riba, and work towards reforming the system to align with Islamic principles.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that every Muslim should work for Islam, and different groups like Tableeghi Jamaat, Jamaat-e-Islami, and Tanzeem-e-Islami use different methods. While Tableeghi Jamaat focuses on personal efforts and self-improvement, all groups aim to serve Allah with sincerity. Despite their different approaches, the goal is to please Allah through honest and dedicated efforts.

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 talks about the importance of modesty in Islam, especially for women. He explains that women should cover their bodies, leaving only their face, hands, and feet visible, and this should be kept private from men, except for their husband or a doctor when necessary. He emphasizes the need for modesty in both men and women and acknowledges that following these rules can be difficult in today's world but is essential for preserving Islamic values.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses the concept of intercession (Shafa'at) in Islam, explaining that it is a complex issue. He mentions that while the Quran denies certain types of intercession, it also allows intercession for those whom Allah grants permission. Intercession is not about someone having the power to act on their own but requires divine approval. Dr. Israr emphasizes that the idea of intercession should be understood correctly and that it is only valid if Allah permits it.

In this clip Israr Ahmed explains that Islam allows men to have up to four wives for social and moral reasons. The Prophet Muhammad’s (SAW) marriages were to address social issues and protect women. While men and women are equal in basic rights, men have leadership roles in marriage. Polygamy was allowed to maintain family stability in the past, but it should be carefully considered today due to social and physiological factors.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses how Islam addressed slavery within its historical context. It encouraged freeing slaves as a virtuous act and mandated kind treatment. Slavery was limited to prisoners of war when alternatives like ransom weren’t viable, while capturing free people was strictly forbidden. Over time, Islamic teachings promoted the decline of slavery. The emphasis remained on justice, compassion, and humane treatment for all.

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 this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that a husband can give divorce in Islam, but it should be done responsibly and as a last resort. Divorce is allowed but disliked by Allah. Efforts should be made to reconcile before deciding. After three divorces, the wife can only remarry her husband if she marries and separates from another man. Fewer than three divorces allow remarriage through a new Nikah.

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 in Islam, commitments like bai‘at (pledge) are based on a person's ability (istitaat). The Prophet ﷺ gave personalized advice to his companions, considering their individual strengths and weaknesses. This approach is like how a doctor tailors treatment to each patient. While general teachings are important, they must be understood in context. The key is balancing ideals with practical human limitations.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that a true Islamic revolution requires unity, and even a small dedicated group can make a big impact. The "silent majority" seems to support the system, but they are not actively involved. A Muslim leader must implement full Islamic law, or their claim of faith is false. Zia-ul-Haq, for instance, was expected to enforce Sharia law but didn't, which questioned his commitment to Islam.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed highlights that the Quran is fully preserved and must be completely believed without any doubt. In contrast, Hadith varies in authenticity, with classifications like Sahih (authentic) and Da'if (weak). Applying Hadith requires careful study, context, and analysis due to possible contradictions. Scholars have resolved such issues through detailed principles and prioritization. While the Quran is an absolute authority, Hadith needs thoughtful understanding and interpretation.

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 Israr Ahmed explains that while Islam does not forbid women from ruling, it is not ideal in the Islamic system. Women's primary role is in managing the household and raising children, not in leadership. He cites examples like Razia Sultana to show women can lead, but leadership in Islam is generally meant for men. The natural order in Islam focuses on family roles, with each gender fulfilling specific duties.

In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Hazrat Luqman was a Siddiq (truthful believer) with strong faith, not a prophet. Unlike regular believers, Siddiqs don’t require a prophet’s message to confirm their faith. He also mentions Hazrat Waraqah bin Nawfal, a Christian scholar, as the first to affirm Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)'s prophethood. Waraqah recognized the angel Jibreel and foretold the opposition the Prophet would face from his people.
