9 May 2023video LatestI'm a new Muslim and my faith has crashed after the first high. What should I do? Mufti Abu Layth says the first energy of faith always burns out, so the aim is to learn and live the faith while it lasts; at its core Islam is justice and kindness.

9 May 2023video LatestWhy do religious debates make people so defensive? Mufti Abu Layth says debates rarely change minds and feed the ego, so he prefers conversations where people can disagree. Discussionposition checkedthe backfire effectiman (faith) machine6 min 24 s15:07on YouTube

9 May 2023video LatestHow do I stop worrying about the ups and downs of my faith?

16 Dec 2022video Is worship or how I treat people the real sign of faith? Mufti Abu Layth says worship is a personal matter between you and God, while how you behave among people is the true measure of your iman.

26 Apr 2021MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Is it normal for faith to keep changing over a lifetime? Mufti Abu Layth says faith is a lifelong journey and iman an organic process, not a fixed mould to be fitted onto everyone.

5 Jan 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth If miracles don't break nature's laws, what is the point of miracles? Belief does not need supernatural miracles; private belief in them is fine, but preaching them as standard Islam damages Islam.

26 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Is al-kitab the same book given to every prophet? The guest says owning a slave is shirk, that kawthar means abundance rather than a pool, and that al-kitab is the one divine law sent to every prophet, whose goal, peacemaking, is secular while iman is distinct.

26 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth What does the word salat mean in the Quran according to the Quran-only view? The guest defines salat from the Quran as solidarity rather than ritual: with God, which is remembrance and connection, and with people, which is the secular Friday gathering; the essence is dhikr, not physical form. Discussionquoted view, not his positionguest speechEdip YukselQuran 75:31 (he neither believed nor prayed)Quran 33:56 (Allah and his angels send salat upon the Prophet)Quran 9:103 (take from their wealth a charity and pray for them) machine3 min 54 s2:38:46on YouTube

24 Dec 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Did the Prophet teach a creed about God's attributes, and when did the Muslim creed emerge? The Prophet taught faith, not a formal creed; the Muslim creed emerged two to three hundred years later, and its doctrine of attributes 'neither God nor other than God' is, in Mufti Abu Layth's view, irrational and unfounded in the Quran and Sunnah. Ordinary Muslims do not know this material, which is why Wood's objections did not land. Lessonposition checkedMohammed HijabDavid Woodaqidahiman machine3 min 44 s17:38on YouTube

21 Jul 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Is mut'ah a matter of belief that divides Sunnis and Shia? No: accepting temporary marriage or not is a question of fiqh, not belief, so Sunnis are unfair to attack the Shia over mut'ah.

15 Apr 2018Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions If jinn do not possess people, what is ruqya for? The Quran is a cure for what is in the hearts, meaning disbelief and superstition, not a medical treatment. Ruqya and the du'as taught against omens are a scaffolding that steadies a person's faith until it can stand on its own, because the mind clings to ritual.

9 Apr 2018The Voice of Reason in Islam LatestDoes Islam stand the test of reason, and why should Muslims not fear examining it? Mufti Abu Layth says he has certainty that Islam has stood the test of reason as well as time, that the hadith of the grave condemns faith that merely repeats what people say, and that Muslims must take reason back rather than shy away.

15 Mar 2018Responding to Refutations Is someone who denies a line of al-Tahawi's creed a kafir? No: Mufti Abu Layth says this makes al-Tahawi rather than the Quran the standard, that Elmasry himself departs from al-Tahawi on several points, that Ash'ari creed does not make takfir of the people of the qibla, and that al-Tahawi wrote 250 years after the Prophet and is not an Ash'ari authority.

20 Sep 2017Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Did Ibn Taymiyya believe in jinn possession, and does his view have proof? Ibn Taymiyya believed jinn possess people and treated them, but by his own rule of accepting nothing without proof from the Quran and Sunnah his claims fail: seeing something leave a patient does not prove it was a jinn. Levitating patients and beating the 'possessed' are tricks played on onlookers.

20 Sep 2017Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Why do jinn seem to afflict only people who believe in them? Amulet writers, raqis and shrine touts run a business of lies, as the guest's stories of ambiguous amulets and promised sons show. Jinn never trouble him, atheists or non-Muslims, only those of weak belief, which he calls a lie against Allah and his Messenger that robs people of money and women of honour.

20 Sep 2017Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions If jinn do not possess people, what is ruqya for? The Quran is a cure for what is in the hearts, meaning disbelief and superstition, and ruqya and the taught du'as are a scaffolding to steady people's iman because humans cling to ritual and fall easily into superstition. The du'a against omens shows the Prophet using this method.

27 Dec 2015video Can I say Merry Christmas to non-Muslims? Yes, saying Merry Christmas is permissible: old rulings against it came from a very different world, and in the UK Christmas is largely a winter festivity. Those who prefer another greeting may use it without feeling pressured.
