16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Does the Quran really say Jesus had no father?

13 Oct 2020video Why doesn't the Quran clearly deny the virgin birth?

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. No one has to accept evolution, but those who do should not be called heretics.

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.
