The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth hopes to spread inclusivity and compassion and a wider understanding of the Maliki school, which he feels the West needs.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth says he never planned what Allah allowed him to achieve and believes great things will unfold by Allah's mercy. He would like his role to be spreading inclusivity, compassion, love and respect in an age of hate, sectarianism and intolerance. He also wants to spread understanding of the school of Madinah, which in his personal understanding has an unbroken chain to Madinah and the Prophet and uses the objectives of the Sharia while staying entrenched in the Sunnah, an outlook he says the West needs. He says some people abandon Islam over rulings that are only one fiqh perspective, and he wants to give them an opportunity to embrace the din wholeheartedly.

uniform what does the future hold and what does the F future hold for for me me to be specific Allah I mean to be honest I've never even the things that Allah subhana wa taala allowed me to uh let's say achieve or accomplish I had never planned them and I believe that I always I I believe that there will be great things great things and by no doing of mine I I Believe by the mercy of Allah Allah will uh allow great things to unfold and I would like if if I could play a role in that I would like my role to be one

which spreads a message of inclusivity of compassion and love with respect in a day and age where there is such bitter type of uh almost hate and sectarianism and and intolerance I also would like to spread a greater understanding of the school of Medina because I feel that this school of Medina in my personal understanding and I respect all but I believe the school of Medina the Malik maab is one which not only has a a pristine

understanding and an unbroken chain um right back to Medina and the messenger of Allah sallallah alaihi wasallam but I also feel that it's it's take and understanding on maid on understanding the objectives and not only understanding them but using them deploying them as a tool whilst at the same time being so entrenched in the Sunnah I feel that this is a perspective or an outlook on the dean which is so needed in the west so I would like to if

I can be play a role in expanding the understanding or the awareness of the school of Medina um so for those who struggle perhaps because sometimes people feel that I can't Embrace some rulings within Islam and thereby they abandon Islam almost what they're unaware is that that is actually just a f perspective it's not actually Islam that they've abandoned and to kind of at least give these people an opportunity to embrace the dean wholeheartedly so if I could play any role in that that would be an amazing amazing uh achievement and a

blessing from Allah Last Words comments I think that's okay funny face okay so
