13 Oct 2020video Was Jesus born without a father according to the Quran? Mufti Abu Layth leans to the scholars who hold Jesus had a natural birth, arguing that the verse refuting God having a child only works if every human is born of two parents.

22 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Was Jesus born of a virgin, and how could a jinn father a child? Mufti Abu Layth says he has recently become inclined to the view of Abdul Karim Athari and Tamanna Imadi that Jesus was born naturally, since the Quran never explicitly states a virgin birth and 6:101 argues from the absence of a companion. The guest sets that controversy aside and says a jinn, being a different species, could not impregnate a woman.

25 Oct 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran What verses do Muslims use to argue Jesus had a natural birth with a father? The Quran implies a virgin conception but never states it, and the scholars who held Jesus had a father argue from 6:85-87 and 6:101. People may believe either, but calling those scholars deviant is a huge stretch.

20 Oct 2018Responding to Refutations Which verses are used to argue that Jesus had a father, and does the Quran rule it out? The Quranic account of Mary implies a virgin conception but does not state it, and 66:12 is not read literally by anyone, so demanding literal reading everywhere is inconsistent. The scholars who held Jesus had a father argue from 6:85-87 and 6:101, and calling them deviants is a huge stretch.
