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.

24 Dec 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Do Muslims accept doctrines as irrational as the Trinity, such as the uncreated Quran? Wood's real challenge was that Muslims who mock the Trinity as irrational themselves accept doctrines such as the uncreated Quran and attributes that are 'neither God nor other than God'. Mufti Abu Layth says this was a genuinely tough point that Hijab did not fully answer, but Wood put it so badly that few noticed.

2 Jan 2018Responding to Refutations Is the Quran created or uncreated? Why he calls the debate absurd Mufti Abu Layth holds that the created or uncreated Quran debate is absurd: the Companions never discussed it, and it arose as a political dispute over the caliphs' authority in the time of al-Ma'mun.
