Listen & Watch his speeches in a New, Innovative, Creative & Learning Manner https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/tazkir-o-tadabur-e-quran-dr-israr-ahmad_yAJQhSFN79ent4G.html Mon, 11 May 2026 05:54:52 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/tazkir-o-tadabur-e-quran-dr-israr-ahmad_yAJQhSFN79ent4G.html ⁣Dr. Israr Ahmad explains the difference between *tazkir* (remembrance) and *tadabur* (deep reflection) of the Quran. He emphasizes that while reciting the Quran for reward is beneficial, true understanding requires sincere intention and sufficient knowledge of the Arabic language. Without grasping the meaning directly, the Quran’s impact on one’s heart and mind is diminished. He draws a parallel to water that cannot be absorbed into the earth—it remains superficial and offers no lasting benefit. Genuine comprehension necessitates the Quran descending into the heart, unlocking its hidden treasures and allowing its guidance to transform one’s life. The lecture underscores that simply collecting scholarly references isn’t enough; the Quran must be internalized for lasting spiritual growth. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/رمضان-قیام-اللیل-اور-تراویح-ramadan-qiyam-ul-layl-amp-taraweeh-dr-israr-ahmad_xEzz8afBlqV5tSQ.html Mon, 11 May 2026 05:52:05 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/رمضان-قیام-اللیل-اور-تراویح-ramadan-qiyam-ul-layl-amp-taraweeh-dr-israr-ahmad_xEzz8afBlqV5tSQ.html ⁣This lecture details the significance of standing in prayer during Ramadan (Qiyam-ul-Layl) and the practice of Tarawih prayers. Dr. Israr Ahmad explains the historical development of Tarawih, contrasting the practice during the Prophet’s time with its evolution in the era of Umar ibn al-Khattab. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the spiritual essence of Qiyam-ul-Layl—devotion and reflection—rather than simply completing a set number of rak'at. He discusses the differences between various schools of thought regarding the length of Tarawih prayers, and shares how a meaningful experience can be achieved through a balance of tradition and spiritual insight. The lecture also highlights the importance of understanding the Quran being recited during Tarawih, advocating for a system where the verses are studied and understood before being recited in prayer. Dr. Ahmad explains a system implemented in major cities where the entire Quran is covered during Ramadan, blending the practice of Tarawih with Quranic study. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/روزے-کی-رخصت-اور-قضا-rozay-ki-rukhsat-aur-qaza-dr-israr-ahmed_gXXhtvPWDfUuuQe.html Mon, 11 May 2026 05:42:16 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/روزے-کی-رخصت-اور-قضا-rozay-ki-rukhsat-aur-qaza-dr-israr-ahmed_gXXhtvPWDfUuuQe.html ⁣This lecture clarifies the rulings regarding permissible exemptions from fasting, particularly for travelers and the sick. It explains that initial concessions were granted as a temporary measure, but completing missed fasts is now obligatory. Special consideration is given to elderly or chronically ill individuals, such as those with diabetes, who may be unable to fast safely. The speaker emphasizes the importance of making up missed fasts when possible, while acknowledging legitimate exceptions for those unable to do so. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/قرآن-کا-تدبر-quran-ka-tadabbur-samajh-aur-soch-dr-israr-ahmed_RJI7J5cw9MWxETW.html Mon, 11 May 2026 05:40:02 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/قرآن-کا-تدبر-quran-ka-tadabbur-samajh-aur-soch-dr-israr-ahmed_RJI7J5cw9MWxETW.html ⁣This lecture explores the profound concept of *tadabbur* – deep reflection upon the Quran. It emphasizes that the Quran is an infinite ocean of knowledge, wisdom, and divine guidance with no discernible depths or limits. True *tadabbur* requires a lifetime of dedicated effort and the full application of one’s intellectual and spiritual capacities, yet still falls short of fully comprehending its immensity. The Quran is presented as an inexhaustible treasure trove of wisdom, surpassing the limitations of any finite exploration. It's an ocean without shores, unlike earthly seas which, despite their vastness, have defined limits. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/پردے-کا-حکم-کیا-ہے-parde-ka-hukum-kya-hai-islami-pardah-aur-ahmiyat-dr-israr-ahmed_t9kiUgcxbC7Ivl4.html Mon, 11 May 2026 05:37:50 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/پردے-کا-حکم-کیا-ہے-parde-ka-hukum-kya-hai-islami-pardah-aur-ahmiyat-dr-israr-ahmed_t9kiUgcxbC7Ivl4.html ⁣This lecture discusses the Islamic ruling on *hijab* (covering) even in the presence of blind individuals, drawing from incidents involving the wives of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It clarifies that the purpose of *hijab* is not merely to avoid being *seen*, but to prevent potential *fitna* (temptation or discord). The discussion emphasizes that even those who cannot visually perceive require the same level of modesty, especially with frequent visitors. It also highlights the importance of stricter *hijab* with close relatives who visit often, compared to strangers with limited contact. The lecture explains that *hijab* is a matter of upholding modesty and protecting societal harmony. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/حضور-ﷺ-کی-مکی-اور-مدنی-زندگی-huzoor-ﷺ-ki-makki-aur-madani-zindagi-dr-israr-ahmed_5cyJJTBtjFbMvAp.html Mon, 11 May 2026 05:34:08 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/حضور-ﷺ-کی-مکی-اور-مدنی-زندگی-huzoor-ﷺ-ki-makki-aur-madani-zindagi-dr-israr-ahmed_5cyJJTBtjFbMvAp.html ⁣The Prophet Muhammad’s life is broadly divided into two periods: the Meccan era and the Medinan era. A key distinction between these periods lies in their approaches to resistance. The Meccan period emphasized peaceful resistance and enduring persecution without retaliation, even in the face of extreme violence. Conversely, the Medinan period saw armed conflict as a necessary component of defense and establishing a just society. While battles occurred throughout his life, significant engagements include the Battle of Badr, the Battle of Uhud, and the Battle of the Trench. These conflicts mark a shift in strategy reflecting the changing circumstances faced by the early Muslim community. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/مختلف-قوموں-کے-لیے-اللہ-کے-قوانین-mukhtalif-qaumon-ke-liye-allah-ke-qawaneen-dr-israr-ahmed_8hZnfXUljocuUxr.html Mon, 11 May 2026 05:28:49 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/مختلف-قوموں-کے-لیے-اللہ-کے-قوانین-mukhtalif-qaumon-ke-liye-allah-ke-qawaneen-dr-israr-ahmed_8hZnfXUljocuUxr.html ⁣This lecture explains that societal corruption inevitably leads to divine retribution. Allah removes corrupt civilizations through other nations to preserve faith and prevent complete moral decay. The destruction of corrupt societies, like the removal of gangrenous tissue, is necessary for the survival of righteousness. This process has historically manifested in the downfall of various places of worship – temples, churches, synagogues, and mosques – when they become centers of corruption. Allah periodically cleanses the earth to maintain a balance between good and evil. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/اللہ-کی-پکار-روح-کا-اللہ-سے-تعلق-allah-ki-pukar-rooh-ka-allah-se-taluq-dr-israr-ahmed_3qmuOQYeaOKYBrj.html Mon, 11 May 2026 05:26:08 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/اللہ-کی-پکار-روح-کا-اللہ-سے-تعلق-allah-ki-pukar-rooh-ka-allah-se-taluq-dr-israr-ahmed_3qmuOQYeaOKYBrj.html ⁣This lecture emphasizes the importance of spiritual purification and reconnecting with God. It highlights that divine proximity isn’t found through external efforts but through introspection and cleansing the heart of worldly desires and sins. The speaker stresses that true sustenance comes from a halal life and that neglecting spiritual growth leads to a disconnect from the Divine. The soul’s connection to God is inherent, similar to a sunbeam’s connection to the sun, and is obscured by sin and negligence. The lecture encourages self-accountability, purification of the heart, and recognizing God’s presence within. Spiritual success lies in refining the self, while failure stems from suppressing the soul. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/qiyam-ul-lail-ramazan-mein-raat-ki-ibadat-dr-israr-ahmad_aFt2ufkr1uR9kf4.html Mon, 11 May 2026 05:23:14 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/qiyam-ul-lail-ramazan-mein-raat-ki-ibadat-dr-israr-ahmad_aFt2ufkr1uR9kf4.html ⁣This lecture details the significance of Qiyam ul Lail (night prayer) during Ramadan. It clarifies that while fasting is obligatory, standing in prayer at night is voluntary but highly encouraged. The discussion centers on understanding the Quranic verses related to Qiyam ul Lail and the Prophet’s practice. The speaker emphasizes that the Quran often explains itself, referencing verses that initially commanded standing for the entire night, then permitted variations like half or a third of the night. The ideal practice involves spending at least one-third of the night in prayer, reciting the Quran with contemplation (tartil), and allowing its light to permeate one’s heart and soul. The lecture underscores that Qiyam ul Lail is not merely about the duration but the quality of engagement with the Quran. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/بیماری-اور-سفر-میں-روزے-کا-حکم-bemari-aur-safar-mein-rozay-ka-hukum-dr-israr-ahmed_XeqRE8H9TIg4Dth.html Mon, 11 May 2026 05:20:29 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/بیماری-اور-سفر-میں-روزے-کا-حکم-bemari-aur-safar-mein-rozay-ka-hukum-dr-israr-ahmed_XeqRE8H9TIg4Dth.html ⁣This lecture discusses the permissibility of fasting during travel, emphasizing Allah’s desire for ease rather than hardship. It clarifies rulings regarding missed fasts (qada), the importance of fulfilling obligatory fasts, and the meaning of expressing gratitude to Allah. The speaker explains that while completing the number of fasts is crucial, concessions are made for those who are ill or traveling. The discussion extends to the significance of reciting takbir during Eid and adhering to Islamic teachings in all aspects of life. It emphasizes that actions should be performed with sincerity and gratitude to Allah. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/رمضان-مبارک-میں-قیام-اللیل-کا-طریقہ-ramzan-mubarak-mein-qiyam-ul-lail-ka-tareeqa-dr-israr-ahmed_ABDc4brz3GNGI21.html Mon, 11 May 2026 05:17:38 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/رمضان-مبارک-میں-قیام-اللیل-کا-طریقہ-ramzan-mubarak-mein-qiyam-ul-lail-ka-tareeqa-dr-israr-ahmed_ABDc4brz3GNGI21.html ⁣Dr. Israr Ahmad explains the immense reward for good deeds, especially during Ramadan. He details a unique method of observing nightly prayers (Tahajjud) collectively, focusing on understanding the Quran through translation and commentary. This practice, sustained for twenty years, involved reciting and interpreting the Quran throughout the night, allowing participants to internalize its message. He contrasts this with individual prayers that may yield little benefit, emphasizing that understanding the Quran’s meaning is crucial. He shares how this practice has expanded to multiple locations with the help of his sons and highlights a similar, yet less comprehensive, approach adopted by a renowned scholar, Sheikh al-Hadith Maulana Zakaria. The benefits of this collective approach include spiritual enlightenment and a deeper connection with the Quran. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/روح-کی-غذا-کیا-ہے-rooh-ki-ghiza-kya-hai-dr-israr-ahmed_2aKSunJLxcS5SuG.html Mon, 11 May 2026 05:14:52 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/روح-کی-غذا-کیا-ہے-rooh-ki-ghiza-kya-hai-dr-israr-ahmed_2aKSunJLxcS5SuG.html ⁣Dr. Israr Ahmad explains that just as the body requires nourishment, the soul also needs sustenance. This sustenance comes from the Quran, through consistent recitation and reflection, especially during the night. Neglecting the soul leads to its weakening and eventual death, while engaging with the Quran revitalizes it, enabling it to connect with its Creator. He contrasts this spiritual nourishment with the exploitation often seen in religious practices, highlighting how self-serving individuals profit from faith while true spirituality involves a direct connection with God. The lecture emphasizes the Quran’s power to nourish the soul and attain closeness to Allah. He further contrasts this with the corruption often found in religious settings, where individuals exploit faith for personal gain. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/انسان-کی-کامیابی-کس-میں-ہے-insaan-ki-kamyabi-kis-mein-hai-dr-israr-ahmed_SSVJGtRoCrJJqgh.html Mon, 11 May 2026 05:12:25 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/انسان-کی-کامیابی-کس-میں-ہے-insaan-ki-kamyabi-kis-mein-hai-dr-israr-ahmed_SSVJGtRoCrJJqgh.html ⁣True success isn't measured by wealth, property, or power, but by faith, righteous actions, advocating truth, and encouraging patience. Material possessions are fleeting; lasting fulfillment comes from spiritual grounding. Even in poverty or obscurity, one can achieve genuine success through these principles. This requires constant self-renewal, as worldly distractions easily cloud our judgment and create desires for superficial things. The human tendency to be impressed by external appearances must be counteracted by consistently reminding ourselves of the true measures of success and failure. Focus on inner strength and spiritual values, rather than fleeting worldly possessions. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/اصل-ایمان-کیا-ہے-asal-imaan-kya-hai-imaan-ki-haqeeqat-aur-nishaniyan-dr-israr-ahmed_9OIrMrjBIf22GPT.html Mon, 11 May 2026 05:10:20 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/اصل-ایمان-کیا-ہے-asal-imaan-kya-hai-imaan-ki-haqeeqat-aur-nishaniyan-dr-israr-ahmed_9OIrMrjBIf22GPT.html ⁣The lecture clarifies a common misconception regarding faith (Iman). Simply reciting the declaration of faith (Shahada) does not equate to true belief. True Iman requires complete conviction in God and His Messenger, eliminating all doubt, and is manifested through righteous actions. The declaration of faith is a pillar of Islam, not Iman itself. The speaker emphasizes that faith is not merely verbal affirmation but a deeply ingrained conviction in the heart, proven by consistent good deeds. The inseparable link between faith and righteous action is vital for spiritual growth. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/نجات-کا-دار-و-مدار-اعمال-صالحہ-پر-ہے-یا-رحمت-خداوندی-nijaat-ka-dar-o-madaar-amaal-e-saliha-ya_ba4pgCV8gxqeIHR.html Mon, 11 May 2026 05:07:35 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/نجات-کا-دار-و-مدار-اعمال-صالحہ-پر-ہے-یا-رحمت-خداوندی-nijaat-ka-dar-o-madaar-amaal-e-saliha-ya_ba4pgCV8gxqeIHR.html ⁣The lecture addresses the decline of the Muslim community and its connection to a misunderstanding of salvation. It clarifies that being a believer and Muslim does not guarantee automatic salvation, countering a prevalent misconception similar to one found amongst some Jewish communities. The speaker emphasizes that salvation is earned through effort, righteous deeds, and fulfilling the requirements of faith and patience. While divine mercy is essential, it is not granted without corresponding action. The lecture underscores that relying solely on Allah's forgiveness and mercy without striving for improvement is a flawed approach, and that true faith necessitates consistent effort and accountability. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/باشعور-انسان-conscious-person-by-dr-israr-ahmed_CwEn4xgh7rKqpc1.html Mon, 11 May 2026 04:59:01 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/باشعور-انسان-conscious-person-by-dr-israr-ahmed_CwEn4xgh7rKqpc1.html ⁣This lecture addresses fundamental questions about human existence, the origin of the universe, and the search for meaning. It explores the nature of good and evil, the source of knowledge, and the purpose of life. The core argument posits that the universe had a beginning and will have an end, created by a single God, Allah. Humanity, designated as the most noble of creations, receives guidance through divine revelation and the prophets. Accepting these truths constitutes faith. The lecture emphasizes that humans must actively seek knowledge and understanding, rather than blindly accepting societal norms, and that the ultimate source of truth is divine guidance. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/quran-ka-nazool-dr-israr-ahmad_xjCjTFsMocNcbsb.html Wed, 06 May 2026 07:06:32 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/quran-ka-nazool-dr-israr-ahmad_xjCjTFsMocNcbsb.html ⁣The Quran's revelation occurred in two stages. The complete Quran was initially present on the ‘Lauh Mahfuz’ (Preserved Tablet), then revealed in stages over twenty-two years to Prophet Muhammad. This process, known as ‘Tanzil,’ involved gradual revelation. Simultaneously, the entire Quran was descended as a complete entity in the month of Ramadan, an event termed ‘Inzal.’ The Quran is a complete guidance for all of humanity, encompassing all times and peoples. While accessible to everyone, its benefits are fully realized by those with piety. The Quran provides direction for every human, from the Bedouin Arabs to the modern individual, offering guidance for all eras and levels of understanding. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/iqamat-e-deen-kae-liyae-jid-o-jehad-ki-zaroorat-dr-israr-ahmed_OpYL2nuyLFCLiPC.html Wed, 06 May 2026 07:04:14 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/iqamat-e-deen-kae-liyae-jid-o-jehad-ki-zaroorat-dr-israr-ahmed_OpYL2nuyLFCLiPC.html ⁣Dr. Israr Ahmad discusses the concept of *fard-e-kifayah* (collective obligation) and its application to the Muslim community. He argues that establishing an Islamic system is a primary collective obligation, taking precedence over individual pursuits like scientific advancement. He explains that while acquiring knowledge and skills is valuable, it must be secondary to the foundational task of establishing Islamic governance. He contrasts this with the concept of *fard-e-ayn* (individual obligation) and clarifies that if the collective obligation is not fulfilled by some members of the community, all are considered accountable. He highlights that scientific progress, when pursued without a framework of Islamic governance, can be exploited against Muslims. He emphasizes that once an Islamic system is established, individuals are free to pursue their interests and contribute to society in various fields. The lecture stresses the urgency of prioritizing the establishment of Islamic governance as a collective duty. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/shab-e-qadar-main-taqreer-kae-faislae-dr-israr-ahmed_6ptL5iCXhmEjAgK.html Wed, 06 May 2026 07:00:32 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/shab-e-qadar-main-taqreer-kae-faislae-dr-israr-ahmed_6ptL5iCXhmEjAgK.html ⁣This lecture explains the significance of Laylat al-Qadr (Night of Decree), detailing how decrees for the coming year are issued and implemented. It describes a multi-tiered system of divine planning, extending from annual directives to long-term strategies spanning centuries and millennia, managed across different celestial levels. The lecture highlights that while Allah possesses complete knowledge of all events (the ‘ilm al-qadim’), specific decrees for the year are communicated to angels for execution. This process isn't limited to a single night; rather, it's part of a continuous, layered system of divine administration, where decisions are issued at various levels of the heavens according to the scope of their implementation. The lecture also references verses from the Quran, such as Surah Al-Dukhan and Surah As-Sajdah, to illustrate this concept. The system operates with a hierarchy, with annual directives managed by angels on Earth, centuries-long plans on higher heavens, and millennia-long strategies on even higher levels. https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/ahd-ki-pabandi-upholding-promises-motivational-bayan-by-dr-israr-ahmad_IyPAGdKwfqYv8Kb.html Tue, 05 May 2026 05:35:03 +0000 https://www.beta.drisrar.com/watch/ahd-ki-pabandi-upholding-promises-motivational-bayan-by-dr-israr-ahmad_IyPAGdKwfqYv8Kb.html ⁣The text emphasizes the importance of fulfilling agreements and contracts in all aspects of life. Human interactions and societal order are built upon the foundation of trust established through honoring commitments. This applies to various forms of agreements, from large-scale building projects and business deals to supply contracts and employment agreements. Upholding these commitments streamlines relationships and fosters a cohesive society. The principle of honoring promises is fundamental to healthy interpersonal dynamics and overall societal stability.
