6 Apr 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Did Abraham really cut up birds that came back to life? In the verse of Abraham and the birds he reads a symbol: birds nurtured by Abraham come to him from afar, a sign of the soul's affinity to God, rather than birds cut up and revived.

20 Oct 2018Responding to Refutations Does the Quran say Ibrahim was thrown into the fire, or that the table was sent down to Jesus's disciples? No verse of the Quran says that Ibrahim was thrown into the fire or that the table came down to the disciples, and 'incline them towards you' is the literal wording of 2:260. These are readings of the text as it stands, and calling those who hold them deviants is unacceptable.

9 Apr 2018The Voice of Reason in Islam Will using reason make me lose my faith? No, Mufti Abu Layth says: fearing that reason leads out of Islam betrays a lack of belief that Islam is true, and doubt that leads to a more certain understanding is legitimate, as Ibrahim's request to see how Allah revives the dead shows.

15 Mar 2016video Ritualisation of the deen and the angels' question about Adam: can believers ask? The deen has been ritualised so that scholarly conclusions cannot be questioned, while the angels' question to Allah about creating Adam is read as a model that believers may ask questions.
