11 Dec 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Why does the Quran give so little detail about some prophets?

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.
