**Topics:** Dajjal, Mahdi and the signs; Contested verses

**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** In Ibn Ashur's reading, as Mufti Abu Layth presents it, the creature speaks at the gathering on the Day of Judgment to shame the Quraysh who denied the Prophet.

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth continues reading Ibn Ashur, who says that bringing the creature out of the earth shows the deniers how Allah brings back the dead, and that there is no doubt the creature's speech is a sign that the gathering of the Day of Judgment has occurred. Mufti reads that Allah made a creature address them because they had rejected the best of creation, the Messenger, when he addressed them. He says some were confused by Ibn Ashur's phrase about an embarrassment for them at the end of time, and reads on to show it refers to the gathering, since those addressed are the Quraysh who denied the Messenger, not people of Ibn Ashur's twentieth century. He reads Ibn Ashur's answer to those who say a supernatural event must happen in this world, and his comment on the verse in Surah al-An'am about faith no longer benefiting.
