قیام دین اور عصرِ حاضر - Dr Israr Ahmad

Dr. Israr Ahmad discusses the methods of fulfilling the obligation of establishing religion (Deen) in the modern era. He analyzes the historical context of the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) approach, highlighting differences between the Meccan and Medinan periods. He argues that due to the presence of standing armies and the complexities of modern nation-states, a non-violent approach—civil disobedience and non-armed resistance—is more effective today than armed struggle. He contrasts the situation where the conflict was between Islam and disbelief with the present where the conflict is often within Muslim societies, and emphasizes the changing relationship between citizens and the state, allowing for peaceful means of resistance. He draws parallels to Gandhi’s non-violent movement and the Iranian Revolution, illustrating how context dictates strategy.
