19 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth How did Dr Shehzad Saleem come to research the history of the Quran? Teaching the history of the Quran at Al-Mawrid in 1999, the guest was shocked by questions in the Muslim sources themselves: multiple extant readings, reports of a lost rajm verse, compilation by two witnesses, differing companion codices and the Shia account. His book is the result of the quest that followed.

19 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Is the hadith that the Quran was revealed in seven ahruf authentic, and what does it mean? The guest says the seven-ahruf hadith is ambiguous, as al-Suyuti admitted, that its forty-odd interpretations are inconsistent and its versions unsoundly reported and contradictory, so they cancel each other out. He refrains from guessing what the Prophet originally said.

19 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Which reading of the Quran reached India, Malaysia and Indonesia, and why? The common reading, later called the reading of Hafs, reached the subcontinent and the Far East through the masses, while the other readings took root only where scholars arrived first. Mufti Abu Layth sums up: the Quran is preserved as the qira'a al-'amma of the Prophet's final recitation, and Hafs coincides with it because he made no choices of his own.
