Khuda Ka Qareeb Hona - Dr Israr Ahmad

This lecture explores the revolutionary concept of God’s proximity to humanity as presented in the Quran, contrasting it with historical systems of worship that create distance and intermediaries. It discusses how many ancient religions established a hierarchy of priests and deities, demanding offerings and rituals to reach the divine. The speaker highlights the Quran’s directness – God is accessible without intermediaries. This contrasts with traditions involving priests who claim to be conduits between humans and the divine, receiving offerings and promising to deliver prayers. The lecture connects this concept to Iqbal’s critique of barriers between creator and creation, urging the removal of such intermediaries—like those found within established religious institutions. The central message is that God is near, and direct connection is possible.
