What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth predicts Qadhi must choose between owning his view and losing followers, and that Hijab will face a similar crisis within a decade because their claimed certainties are unsustainable. He says he is glad he never pandered to a crowd that would turn on him.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth says he covered the dynamic nature of the Quran earlier in the session, before this part, so that viewers already had the background. He declines a viewer's suggestion to apply a label to Qadhi, saying only that his behaviour was poor. He predicts that Qadhi has only gone further into his crisis, since he must now choose between owning his view and losing much of the following he panders to, and pretending otherwise. He says he believes Mohammed Hijab, being younger, will crumble under a similar crisis within a decade, because these people began from a plateau of claimed certainties that is not sustainable and that maturity erodes. Wrapping up, he says he is glad he did things his own way: if his opinions change they change, people know who he is, and he is not pandering to a 'Frankenstein crowd' that would then turn on him.
