19 Jan 2022video LatestWhere do Neanderthals fit in the Islamic story of Adam? Islam is not a science manual and says nothing directly about them, but he says the Quran hints that other hominins came before Adam, who was the final 'successor' in that line.

22 Sep 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Doesn't the Quran say Adam was created in heaven?

6 Dec 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Does the Quran support human evolution? Mufti Abu Layth reads several verses as arguing for evolution and says Eve is not named in the Quran.

20 Oct 2018Responding to Refutations Is evolution compatible with the Quran? The Quran's verses on creation in stages, growth from the earth, the single self and the couple of 7:189 are reconcilable with evolution, which Mufti Abu Layth calls a scientific fact established through genetics. Hawwa is not named in the Quran, and those who accept evolution should not be called deviants.

20 Sep 2017Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions What are the jinn and what can Shaytan actually do to people? Jinn exist and Shaytan is a clear enemy, but his only power is to whisper, as human misleaders do, and Allah gave people the fitra and reason to resist. Any claim about the jinn must be met by asking for its proof in the Quran and Sunnah and weighing its consequences; an unexplained illness is not proof of a jinn.

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.
