15 Nov 2020video Does the Quran mention the evil eye? No: the Quran mentions envy (hasad) but never the evil eye, and the verse about eyes making the Prophet slip is a metaphor for hateful stares, as Ibn Ashur and others explain.

14 Jul 2020live stream Is al-Zamakhshari's tafsir al-Kashshaf worth reading? Mufti Abu Layth praises al-Kashshaf as linguistically overwhelming and al-Zamakhshari as a legend, while noting the Mu'tazili oddities in it; the Mu'tazila were great scholars, often over-demonised.
