21 Aug 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Did the Prophet teach a formal creed of what Muslims must believe? The Prophet taught faith, not a creed: beyond a handful of beliefs no hadith prescribes what to believe, and for 150 years the salaf up to Imam Malik wrote down no dogma. Policing people's ideas is the antithesis of Islam, so think for yourself. Lessonposition checkedImam Malikaqidahsalafdeen machine2 min 36 s15:41on YouTube
24 Dec 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Did the Prophet teach a creed about God's attributes, and when did the Muslim creed emerge? The Prophet taught faith, not a formal creed; the Muslim creed emerged two to three hundred years later, and its doctrine of attributes 'neither God nor other than God' is, in Mufti Abu Layth's view, irrational and unfounded in the Quran and Sunnah. Ordinary Muslims do not know this material, which is why Wood's objections did not land. Lessonposition checkedMohammed HijabDavid Woodaqidahiman machine3 min 44 s17:38on YouTube
