16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Is following the Sunnah like believing in the Trinity? No: following the Sunnah is of course not akin to the Trinity. Question from live chatposition checkedthe TrinitySunnah machine1 min 08 s1:16:17on YouTube
13 Oct 2020video Why doesn't the Quran clearly deny the virgin birth? To build bridges with the Christians: the Quran used their terms and left room for their belief without affirming it, compromising only not on the Trinity.

8 Jan 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran If God can do anything, why not take the miracles in Quranic stories literally? Reading the stories as suspensions of natural law means ditching reason, which leaves no ground to reject any myth; reason must be all in, though the prophets were real people.

24 Dec 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Who won the David Wood versus Mohammed Hijab debate on Tawhid and the Trinity? Mufti Abu Layth calls the Wood versus Hijab debate on Tawhid and the Trinity monumental and worth watching, and says Mohammed Hijab clearly won. He introduces David Wood as an evangelical, anti-Islam preacher who has debated many Muslims. LessonMohammed HijabDavid WoodDr Shabir Allytawhid machine2 min 38 s0:00on YouTube
24 Dec 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Did the topic of Tawhid versus the Trinity favour the Muslim side, and how well prepared was Hijab? Tawhid appeals to reason while the Trinity is held by Christians as a supra-rational truth, so the topic itself favoured Hijab. Even so, Mufti Abu Layth was impressed by Hijab's thorough biblical research and impromptu quotation of the Bible, while Wood seemed unprepared.

24 Dec 2018From the Mind of a Mufti What was Hijab's main argument against the Trinity, and did Wood answer it? Hijab's central argument was that the Trinitarian creed defined at Nicaea in 325 cannot be shown in any earlier Christian source, which Mufti Abu Layth calls precise and well researched and which Wood failed to answer sufficiently. Wood seemed shaky and unprepared, and the debate leaned less on reason than it could have. LessonMohammed HijabDavid Woodthe Council of Nicaea (325)the Trinity machine3 min 56 s5:15on YouTube
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.
