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.

16 Dec 2019Responding to Refutations Why did people in the past convert to new religions so readily?

9 Sep 2017From the Mind of a Mufti Are Muslims obliged to establish an Islamic state or khilafah? The guest says religion is a personal matter between a person and God, and believers have no obligation to obtain a society or a state, though if they have power they must run it by God's command. Prophets such as Ibrahim and Isa, and Zakariya, Yahya and Maryam under Roman rule, never sought power and remain examples.
