14 Mar 2021video What did Yasir Qadhi himself say about problematic signs of the Hour such as Gog and Magog? Mufti Abu Layth plays Qadhi's earlier talk calling Gog and Magog the most problematic sign of the Hour and a cause of people leaving Islam. He accuses Qadhi of half truths, such as omitting that the Maliki authorities held the Jesus reports unestablished, and says a Jesus who descends from the sky to chase pigs is a reasonable thing to question.

14 Mar 2021video Does the Muslim account of the Mahdi, Jesus and Gog and Magog parallel Jewish messianic literature? Qadhi's own clip lays out the Midrash's two messiahs, Gog and Magog and judgement, notes the parallel with the Muslim Mahdi, Messiah and Gog and Magog, and suggests both traditions simply had it. Mufti Abu Layth responds with sarcasm and notes Qadhi's admission that Muslim books contain bizarre material.

14 Mar 2021video Is Yasir Qadhi consistent about whether Gog and Magog could be hidden underground? In one clip Qadhi says it is not impossible, since Allah is all-powerful and Ibn Taymiyya's rule allows what astounds the mind, that thousands live underground; in another he says he cannot believe a tribe has been trapped for four thousand years.

14 Mar 2021video What does Mufti Abu Layth say about the Ibn Mas'ud hadith on the end of time and Jesus's return? The Ibn Mas'ud report has unknown narrators, opens by noting the Christians' claim that Jesus will return, and ends with life regrowing from a seminal fluid sent from beneath the Throne, a detail Mufti Abu Layth calls preposterous and uses to argue that such reports can be questioned.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Is Yasir Qadhi giving the whole picture on the Maliki scholars and Jesus's return?

3 Nov 2019Responding to Refutations Is it inconsistent to reinterpret Gog and Magog by geography but not other beliefs by science?
