17 Dec 2019From the Mind of a Mufti What is Dan Gibson's Petra theory and are his measurements trustworthy? Gibson measured around 160 early mosque foundations and found the earliest pointing to Petra rather than Makkah. Mufti Abu Layth says the data are transparent and not falsified, though Gibson is somewhat mischievous, and that his explanation of the south-pointing North African mosques is ridiculous.

19 Jul 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Was the first qibla really Petra, as Dan Gibson claims? Mufti Abu Layth is not convinced that the first qibla was Petra: the statistical argument is a fallacy and Sunnis, Shia and Khawarij would never all have agreed on the Ka'bah. He still finds revisionist research compelling on some other matters and says Muslims should engage with it.
