10 Dec 2020video Is Jay Smith a reliable critic of the Quran's preservation? No: he agrees with Yasir Qadhi that Jay Smith and David Wood are not clued up and chase sensation, repeating academics' summaries without understanding them.

17 Dec 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Was pre-Islamic Makkah really a significant city? Mufti Abu Layth thinks the revisionists have a point: Makkah was not a significant city or even a popular town, and its later image was an innocent reconstruction by Muslims rather than propaganda. He notes that Crone and Cook placed Makkah further north without settling on Petra. Lessonposition checkedDan GibsonPatricia CroneMichael Cook [?] machine2 min 35 s0:01on YouTube
17 Dec 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Why did the earliest mosques face Petra instead of Makkah? Most likely, he says, because Muslims inherited Nabataean devotion sites already aligned to Petra's constellation, so Gibson is right about the measurements but wrong that Petra was Makkah. Makkah was called Umm al-Qura, he suggests, after Petra's name, brought by Qusayy. Lessonposition checkedDan GibsonPatricia Cronethe NabataeansQusayy ibn Kilab machine3 min 31 s18:21on YouTube
19 Jul 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Was the first qibla really Petra, as Dan Gibson claims? Mufti Abu Layth is not convinced that the first qibla was Petra: the statistical argument is a fallacy and Sunnis, Shia and Khawarij would never all have agreed on the Ka'bah. He still finds revisionist research compelling on some other matters and says Muslims should engage with it.
