18 Oct 2025MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth LatestIs the Prophet Muhammad the most beloved of creation and a mercy to the worlds? The guest holds that God's sending of the messenger, not the Prophet himself, is the mercy, and that calling him the most beloved of creation is unprovable celebrity worship; Mufti Abu Layth says the Prophet is a mercy for the worlds and that if some are more beloved than others one must be at the top.

18 Oct 2025MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth LatestDoes 'we sent you only as a mercy' (21:107) describe the Prophet or the act of sending him? Mufti Abu Layth says the primary Arabic reading of 21:107 is that the Prophet himself was sent as a mercy for the worlds, with the exclusive negation amplifying that, while the guest's reading that the sending is the mercy is a secondary understanding he may hold but not impose.

18 Oct 2025MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Can the Quran be used to call the Prophet the best of creation? The guest says calling the Prophet the best of creation is an unprovable inference contradicted by verses and reports favouring Abraham; Mufti Abu Layth says the guest rejects inference for that title while relying on inference to say what breaks the fast.

25 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran How should Muslims respond to an ex-Muslim who criticises the Quran? Attack the argument, not the person: Mufti Abu Layth says a genuine seeker deserves respect, that the claim itself is false, and that Muslims who call the Prophet a mercy to the world must show it in how they respond.
