2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Does the verse about Jesus speaking 'in maturity' mean he will come back? Neither verse proves a return: 'in the cradle and in maturity' refers to the people Jesus addresses, the return reading began with a late transmitter of strange reports, and 'before his death' has several readings.

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.

15 Mar 2018Responding to Refutations Does the verse about Jesus speaking as a kahl prove he will return? No: kahl means mature adulthood from about thirty or forty, and al-Razi says Jesus reached that age on earth. The reading of the verse as the second coming first appeared with a scholar who died in the 280s AH, not among the salaf.
