19 Feb 2022video LatestWhat do you think of the rational readings of the Quran on the Marvelous Quran channel?

28 Feb 2020From the Mind of a Mufti LatestWho was right about Fadak, Fatima or Abu Bakr? Both, in his view: Fatima was right that prophets can be inherited from, but Fadak was fay' belonging to the public, so Abu Bakr was right to keep it under the state.

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.

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.
