15 Jan 2019Responding to Refutations Early denials, the second coming, revelations in English and claims of divinity Mirza's early denials of prophethood were superseded by later claims to be Christ, to receive Quranic verses, to own the real al-Aqsa and to be God. Mufti Abu Layth believes Mirza was mentally unwell rather than lying.

10 May 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Why did some classical scholars rule that apostates be executed? Where classical scholars ruled that apostates be executed, they were dealing with what would now be treason or armed rebellion in a very different world; those rulings do not apply today, and their prevalence then did not make them right.

15 Apr 2018Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Is jinn possession just a difference of opinion among scholars? Mufti Abu Layth refuses to treat it that way: although scholars from Fakhr al-Din al-Razi to Shaltut, Ibn Ashur and al-Shawkani rejected possession while Ibn Taymiyya affirmed it, this is not a harmless fiqh difference like raising the hands in prayer, because the belief drives abuse and exploitation and brings ridicule on Islam.

15 Apr 2018Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Magic in the Quran: Musa and Pharaoh's magicians, an illusion In the Quran the magic of Pharaoh's magicians was only an illusion; Musa's fear was a natural human reaction, not proof that the magic was real.

13 Mar 2018Islamic Eschatology Anwar Shah Kashmiri's claim of ijma, and the scholars who rejected the return Kashmiri's compilation of over a hundred return hadith contains mostly weak reports by his own count, and a line of Azhar and other scholars from Abduh to Muhammad al-Ghazali rejected the second coming.
