16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Does the Quran use metaphors, like calling people angels? Yes, he says the Quran is full of metaphors, from God as light to the wall that 'wanted' to fall, and humans are called angels just as they are called devils.

17 Oct 2020video Does the verse of light describe an expanded state of consciousness? The verse of light, 24:35, is an approximation that resonates with those whose consciousness has expanded, and entheogenic experience was part and parcel of the tradition without having a name.

21 Aug 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Is the Quran's description of paradise and hell literal or symbolic? Mufti Abu Layth reads the Quran's imagery of the afterlife as symbolic, chosen to resonate with the people it was revealed to, while holding that life continues after this world. Allah also describes himself in imagery, and people are free to disagree.
