What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth continues that some people, as soon as they embrace Islam, start teaching it to others. He recites Urdu and Persian verses, poorly captured in the transcript, on a road that does not lead to a destination and on taking two or three steps without completing a journey, and on embracing even those who are not one's own. He says he has never claimed piety, and cites the Quranic rebuke of those who consider their becoming Muslim a favour. He says it bothers him when he sees this, and that it is not exclusive to converts, as many born Muslims tread the same path.
