16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Do Ash'aris believe the Quran is created? Mufti Abu Layth says Ash'ari texts do teach that the Arabic Quran is created, but use the word muhdath instead of makhluq because of the stigma; many Ash'aris today do not know this.

10 Dec 2020video Was the Quran always fixed word for word, or was it flexible at first? Mufti Abu Layth holds the Quran was dynamic in the Prophet's time, with companions allowed to substitute synonyms, and that a fixed vowel-for-vowel text is a modern idea. Writing it down in a worldly script brought its own constraints.

3 Jul 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Do Ash'aris and Maturidis believe the Arabic Quran is God's eternal speech?

15 Apr 2018Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Why did religious scholars end up explaining things like illness and the mind? Because for most of history the ulama were the only educated class, so people brought them every unexplained question, from the divisibility of atoms to whether the intellect sits in the heart or the brain. They answered with the knowledge of their day, which is the background to the possession belief.

20 Sep 2017Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Why did Muslim scholars of the past accept the idea of jinn possession? Scholars of the past were the only learned people and were asked to explain everything, from the divisibility of atoms to where the intellect sits, so they explained strange behaviour with the best knowledge they had. That is the backdrop to the confusion over possession, not a proof of it. Lessonposition checkedulamaaql (intellect)Abu Bakr al-Baqillani [?]Abu Hanifa machine5 min 14 s53:21on YouTube
