6 Apr 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Did Jesus survive the crucifixion? Mufti Abu Layth reads the cradle verse as the priests' indignation at being debated by a boy, and says Jesus was taken down from the cross alive after a few hours, which he finds more plausible than a substitute transformed to look like him.

14 Mar 2021video Does 'he will speak to people in maturity' or 'before his death' prove that Jesus will return? The verse about Jesus speaking in the cradle and in maturity concerns those he addresses, children and grown men, and the first to read it as a return was al-Husayn ibn al-Fadl, who died in 282 AH and transmitted strange reports. 'Before his death' was recited by Ubayy and Ibn Abbas as 'before their death' and read by commentators as referring to Jesus, the Prophet, the truth or Allah.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Does the verse about Jesus speaking 'in maturity' mean he will come back? Neither verse proves a return: 'in the cradle and in maturity' refers to the people Jesus addresses, the return reading began with a late transmitter of strange reports, and 'before his death' has several readings.

26 Jan 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Did Jesus really speak as a newborn baby in the Quran?

23 Feb 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Did Jesus really speak as a baby in the cradle?

25 Oct 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Does the Quran actually say Mary had a virgin birth? No verse of the Quran directly says Jesus was born of a virgin; a verse implies it, and Muslims have differed on it. Mary was married, is never called the Virgin Mary in Islam, and most likely did not remain a virgin all her life.

20 Oct 2018Responding to Refutations Does the Quran say Jesus was born of a virgin? No verse of the Quran states that Jesus's birth was a virgin birth, only implies it, and Muslim scholars have differed on it.
