24 Aug 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth How should Muslims react when someone tears or burns the Quran?

25 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Who transmitted the hadith 'whoever changes his religion, kill him', and does the Quran punish apostasy? Mufti Abu Layth says the Quran is ambivalent about those who leave Islam and that the call to kill apostates is nonsense; the report 'whoever changes his religion, kill him' in Bukhari rests solely on Ikrima, a Khariji whom Imam Malik and Ibn Umar distrusted. He introduces Abdullah Sameer's post as the subject he will answer. Lessonposition checkedAbdullah SameerKhawarijISISIkrima machine5 min 07 s1:18on YouTube
25 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran How should Muslims respond to an ex-Muslim who criticises the Quran?
