14 Sep 2019video Is today's Bible the same one Christians and Jews read in the Prophet's time? Quoting the Bible where it makes sense is fine. Whether today's Bible matches the one of the Prophet's time he does not know, though it most likely may, and the Quran does not address it.

24 Dec 2018From the Mind of a Mufti What was Hijab's main argument against the Trinity, and did Wood answer it? Hijab's central argument was that the Trinitarian creed defined at Nicaea in 325 cannot be shown in any earlier Christian source, which Mufti Abu Layth calls precise and well researched and which Wood failed to answer sufficiently. Wood seemed shaky and unprepared, and the debate leaned less on reason than it could have. LessonMohammed HijabDavid Woodthe Council of Nicaea (325)the Trinity machine3 min 56 s5:15on YouTube
24 Dec 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Did the Prophet teach a creed about God's attributes, and when did the Muslim creed emerge? The Prophet taught faith, not a formal creed; the Muslim creed emerged two to three hundred years later, and its doctrine of attributes 'neither God nor other than God' is, in Mufti Abu Layth's view, irrational and unfounded in the Quran and Sunnah. Ordinary Muslims do not know this material, which is why Wood's objections did not land. Lessonposition checkedMohammed HijabDavid Woodaqidahiman machine3 min 44 s17:38on YouTube
