In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses whether Arabs are aware of the destruction that might befall them and if there’s a wise leader among them to warn against it. He shares three hadiths highlighting future challenges for Arabs, mentioning that some ignore such warnings. He emphasizes his views are based on Quran and Hadith, even if some nations dislike his statements about Arabs' future and its potential impact on Pakistan.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains the concept of overall and specific superiority. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the greatest of all prophets, but some, like Musa (AS), Isa (AS), and Ibrahim (AS), had unique qualities. Musa (AS) spoke directly to Allah, Isa (AS) performed unmatched miracles, and Ibrahim (AS) was Allah’s close friend and leader for humanity. Among the Sahaba, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (RA) holds the highest rank, but others had specific strengths. This shows the balance of general greatness and individual distinctions in Islam.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed emphasizes that we shouldn't argue about whether the deceased can hear us. The key is to greet them with "As-salamu alaykum" at the grave, as instructed by the Prophet. Instead of getting into debates about the afterlife, we should focus on good deeds like charity and prayers for the deceased. This approach helps avoid division and keeps the focus on beneficial actions.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that using "waseela" in dua is permissible if it aligns with Islamic teachings, such as invoking a righteous deed or pious person for intercession. Dua is a direct connection with Allah, but intercession can be valid in specific cases. Allah answers prayers in three ways: granting the request, offering something better, or using it for spiritual benefit. Allah's response is always guided by His wisdom.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed talks about the respect due to a son-in-law in Islam and the consequences if a wife disobeys her husband. He explains that a wife should respect her husband, and failing to do so can be a sin. He also discusses the importance of treating a son-in-law with honor while maintaining fairness. Regarding charity, Dr. Israr Ahmed says one can donate up to one-third of their wealth for good causes. Lastly, he encourages starting with obligatory prayers and gradually increasing one’s religious practices.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains why a grandchild (pota) does not inherit from a deceased grandparent if their own parent (the son or daughter of the deceased) is still alive. If the son is alive, the grandchild does not receive inheritance. However, if the son is deceased, the grandchild can inherit, as the inheritance would pass to the next line. He also explains that while the grandchild may not inherit, they can receive a gift or will from the grandparent during their lifetime, within legal limits.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that inheritance in Islam must be fairly divided among family members, with clear shares for sons, daughters, and others. He highlights that keeping property within the family, excluding women or non-Muslims, or claiming property after death is wrong. Misusing inheritance is a big sin in Islam. He stresses that Islamic law should guide how inheritance is divided, not local laws.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains the need for ijma (consensus) when companions had differing opinions on issues. For example, after the Battle of Ahzab, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) told Muslims not to pray Asr until they reached Banu Qurayzah. Some delayed the prayer as instructed, while others prayed on time, interpreting the command differently. Both actions were accepted. This highlights the importance of understanding the wisdom behind commands and using ijma to address disagreements in such matters.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that giving three divorces in one sitting is valid but considered sinful. Hazrat Umar (RA) enforced this rule to discourage its misuse but also punished those who practiced it. The preferred method is to give one talaq at a time, allowing for reconciliation during the iddah period. Three divorces at once finalize the separation, leaving no room for remarriage unless the woman marries and divorces another man naturally.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains the prayer schedule during Hajj, particularly at Arafat and Muzdalifah. At Arafat, the Imam combines Zuhr and Asr prayers with two rak'ahs each before Maghrib. In Muzdalifah, Maghrib is prayed after sunset with three rak'ahs, and Isha with two. During Hajj, prayers are shortened (Qasar) for obligatory prayers only. Sunnah Mu'akkadah prayers are not mandatory while traveling, but can be performed for reward.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that if a wife admits to zina (adultery) and repents, the husband should forgive her, as repentance can erase the sin. If the husband wants to punish her, both must swear oaths to confirm the truth. The husband must swear four times, and the wife can also swear to deny the accusation. If both are truthful in their oaths, the wife avoids punishment. The situation should be handled with fairness, privacy, and according to Islamic guidelines.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that Mutah (temporary marriage) is haram in Islam as it involves a time-limited agreement, unlike a proper Nikah, which is a lifelong bond. He stresses that Islamic rulings depend on divine evidence, not personal logic. Even if justified to avoid sin, Mutah is not allowed and can lead to misuse, like immoral practices. A valid Nikah requires proper witnesses and follows Shariah guidelines.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed ne samjhaya ke Islam mein ek se zyada shaadi jaiz hai, lekin Pakistani muashra ise pasand nahi karta. Iski wajah hamara Hinduana pas-e-manzar hai, jahan ek se zyada shaadi mana thi. Arab muashray mein sab bachay barabar hote hain, magar hamare yahan "sutela" pan ka concept aa gaya hai. Islam ke mutabiq ye ghalat tasawwur hai.
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 the difference between mazhab and deen. Mazhab refers to Islam’s religious practices, including beliefs, rituals, and customs. Deen is a broader concept, covering not only beliefs and rituals but also laws, politics, and social systems. Islam as deen guides every aspect of life, while as mazhab it’s limited to religious practices. People accept Islam as a religion but are often hesitant to accept it as a complete way of life.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explains that life insurance is not permissible in Islam because it involves elements of gambling and interest (riba), which are prohibited. Insurance companies often invest in interest-based businesses, making the profits haram. Additionally, if you fail to make premium payments, the money you've already paid may be lost, which is unfair. He advises Muslims to avoid life insurance schemes. Instead, they should rely on Allah and seek halal ways to fulfill their financial needs.
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 emphasized four points before joining an Islamic group. First, the group should aim to establish Islam, not just focus on education or reform. Second, it should have a strong, disciplined structure. Third, its methods must align with the Sunnah of the Prophet. Lastly, the leadership should reflect Islamic values through their character and actions. These factors ensure the group is genuinely working for the cause of Islam.
In this clip, Dr. Israr Ahmed talks about the Shia-Sunni conflict and how it can be resolved by focusing on shared respect for the Prophet's companions. He says that until people stop disrespecting important figures like Hazrat Ali and Hazrat Fatima, the conflict will continue. He emphasizes the need for unity and suggests that harmful practices like public mourning should stop to bring peace.
In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed explained that merely practicing parts of Islam is not enough for Jannah. One must work to change systems that don't follow Islamic values. Even if someone follows basic practices like prayer and fasting, they must reject and struggle against un-Islamic systems. Efforts to change the system and follow true Islamic principles are key to salvation.
