15 May 2021video LatestIs there archaeological evidence for David's kingdom, and how did Jerusalem become holy for Muslims? Archaeology has not found the kingdoms of David and Solomon, and Mufti Abu Layth says Muslims should apply the same scrutiny to their own narrations, where early scholars differed over al-Aqsa and the first qibla and the Umayyads under Abd al-Malik promoted Jerusalem with fabricated hadith to rival Ibn al-Zubayr.

14 Sep 2019video How do I answer Christians who say the Quran could be corrupted like the Bible?

4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Is the hadith about women wearing perfume being zaniya authentic?
