26 Jan 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Was docetism about someone else being crucified in Jesus's place? No: he says docetism was a debate over whether Jesus was truly human, and that the Quran says the crucifixion only appeared to succeed, not that a look-alike was crucified.

13 Oct 2020video Was Jesus born without a father according to the Quran? Mufti Abu Layth leans to the scholars who hold Jesus had a natural birth, arguing that the verse refuting God having a child only works if every human is born of two parents.

3 Nov 2019Responding to Refutations What did Yasir Qadhi say about Mufti Abu Layth on the Mad Mamluks podcast? Mufti Abu Layth says Qadhi, trying to reassert his traditional credentials on a podcast, said people like Mufti should declare themselves Mu'tazila rather than Sunni.

3 Nov 2019Responding to Refutations Does the Quran say Jesus was born of a virgin?

23 Feb 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Did Jesus really speak as a baby in the cradle? Mufti Abu Layth says the Quran does not say Jesus spoke as a baby; the Maryam passage most likely refers to Jesus at twelve debating the priests in the Temple, as in Luke.

23 Feb 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran What does it mean that Jesus spoke to people in the cradle and in old age? Mufti Abu Layth says the verse means Jesus would relate to people of every age when he preached, not that he spoke as a baby; that story likely came from apocryphal infancy gospels.

8 Jan 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Did Jesus really speak as a baby in the cradle? Mufti Abu Layth reads it as Jesus aged about twelve debating the Temple elders, as in the Gospel of Luke, which fits the history better than a speaking baby.

6 Dec 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Does the Quran support human evolution? Mufti Abu Layth reads several verses as arguing for evolution and says Eve is not named in the Quran. No one has to accept evolution, but those who do should not be called heretics.

25 Oct 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Does the Quran actually say Mary had a virgin birth? No verse of the Quran directly says Jesus was born of a virgin; a verse implies it, and Muslims have differed on it. Mary was married, is never called the Virgin Mary in Islam, and most likely did not remain a virgin all her life.

25 Oct 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran What verses do Muslims use to argue Jesus had a natural birth with a father? The Quran implies a virgin conception but never states it, and the scholars who held Jesus had a father argue from 6:85-87 and 6:101. People may believe either, but calling those scholars deviant is a huge stretch.

1 Sep 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari What does the Bukhari report that Shaytan touches every newborn except Mary and Jesus mean? The Bukhari report that Shaytan touches every newborn except Mary and Jesus makes even the Prophet Muhammad subject to the devil's touch while exempting the two figures of Christian doctrine, which Mufti Abu Layth presents as a Christian idea in the collection.

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.
