29 Jan 2021MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth What is Shaykh Atabek Shukurov working on, and why does he teach principles before rulings?

11 Dec 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Are madrasas failing their students? Mufti Abu Layth says the madrasa phenomenon is dysfunctional and dumbs students down though it supplies the raw materials; both say those who leave orthodox positions are ostracised, and the guest recommends a few years of traditional study combined with academic study.

19 Aug 2020video Can non-Muslims be saved according to Sunni scholars?

3 Jul 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Do Ash'aris and Maturidis believe the Arabic Quran is God's eternal speech? In Ash'ari and Maturidi theology God's eternal speech is not Arabic sounds and letters; the Arabic Quran expresses it and is created.

3 Jul 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Why do so many Muslims think God speaks Arabic if their scholars said otherwise? Mufti Abu Layth says scholars' habit of not discussing this before ordinary people helped the public believe something different from their own scholars; the guest describes the popular Hanbali view that even the Mushaf is uncreated.

3 Jul 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Is the Ash'ari view of God's speech really different from the Mu'tazili view? The guest says the Ash'aris borrowed heavily from the Mu'tazila but differ on whether speech is sounds and letters or meaning; Mufti Abu Layth says sectarian politics produced ambiguous creeds.

3 Jul 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Is the Quran eternal, or was it created? The guest says the Arabic Quran in the tablet is, on most views, pre-existent but created; only God's languageless speech is eternal for Ash'aris and Maturidis.

12 Dec 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Why does Mufti Abu Layth say Salafis cannot debate atheists without borrowing Ash'ari arguments? Salafis argue from a standpoint that cannot hold its own against atheists, so Salafi-background debaters end up using Ash'ari and Maturidi arguments. The Hanbalis were literalists, not the theologians of the tradition. LessonMohammed HijabSalafiAsh'ari schoolMaturidi school machine1 min 19 s6:33on YouTube
20 Oct 2018Responding to Refutations What did Yasir Qadhi write in the leaked emails about the Quran's preservation and the theological schools? In emails leaked by Dawah Man, Qadhi wrote that the letter-for-letter account of the Quran's preservation cannot stand and proposed discarding the theological schools to rethink kalam from scratch. Mufti Abu Layth reads this as a radical reinterpretation from the man now condemning them. Lessonquoted view, not his positionYasir QadhiDawah MankalamAsh'ari machine3 min 59 s24:51on YouTube
20 Oct 2018Responding to Refutations Is hadith the same as the sunnah, and is hadith certain knowledge? The sunnah is distinct from hadith and reaches Muslims through the living tradition of fiqh, not from hadith books. Hadith are khabar ahad, not certain knowledge, so the Ash'ari and Maturidi orthodoxy does not build beliefs on them, and the Hanafis and Malikis reject solitary reports that contradict reason or their principles.

1 Apr 2018Islamic Eschatology On what principles can a hadith in Bukhari be rejected, and may ordinary Muslims do so? A valid chain is not enough: a report must not go against reason, the established Quran and Sunnah, or the principles of Islam, and the Hanafi-Maturidi majority require mutawatir hadith for creed. Lay people may suspend a hadith that troubles them while seeking guidance; the gecko hadith is given as a report Mufti Abu Layth considers made up.

21 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations How does he view the Salafi movement, and is hadith narrator criticism a divine science? The Salafi movement began as a courageous rejection of tradition but, once established, became as dogmatic as what it opposed. Narrator criticism is a human science, so it is always open to revision and disagreement.
