What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenThe belief in Jesus's return has had zero impact on anyone who died until today, so it cannot be a core part of faith; Mufti Abu Layth introduces the hadith that shaped his approach.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth says the West has an atmosphere of critical thinking that Muslims should turn on their own tradition, to be true to themselves and to the religion, since this is not a core part of it. He argues that everyone who lived and died until today, whether or not they believed Jesus would return, was unaffected by it because Jesus has not come, so one cannot say they died lacking faith when they believed in Allah, his Messenger and his book; he calls the claim audacious. He then recalls studying in his teens with his teacher, whom he still considers his teacher and describes as humble and among the most learned in the English-speaking world, noting that he does not know the teacher's view on this matter, and says a hadith hung in calligraphy on his wall.
Position stated
Mufti Abu Layth holds that the belief in Jesus's return has had no impact on the faith of anyone who died until today, so it cannot be a core part of Islam.
“whether they believed Jesus was gonna come or not it hadn't zero impact on their lives because Jesus hasn't come up until today”

it coming so much from today the way the Muslim world is they're not going to evaluate things and be critical why because they're too caught up in sectarianism they too caught up in sectarianism they're not going to kind of like be evaluative like this but in the West people have that thinking they have the atmosphere of being critical and the truth is the same critical review that you would present to non-muslim you ought to present it to Islam's or be true to yourself me true to the Dean this is not a core part of the Dean look guys
am I right or am I wrong just listen to this it's listen to this everybody that lived and died up until today so today we're in March everybody who died up until today Jesus Christ doesn't come as him right so let's just take all the people who died up until today whether they believed Jesus was gonna come or not it hadn't zero impact on their lives because Jesus hasn't come up until today so if they let's say all those people who died up until today how can you say that they died lacking faith how can you
say that how do you say that they died lacking faith you know this what impact did it make on their lives nothing if they died up until to Jesus Christ doesn't come so why is this a core part of Islam they believed in Allah His Messenger his book and they believed in everything he's so now everything and if they disagreed on this you say they lacked a man the audacity to kind of people want llahi I tell you something you know since I began to learn in my teens I began to study Islam wallahi one of the first hadith I
memorized I went to learn our week from my teacher who I still consider as one of my teachers today he's on Facebook chef City Muhammad Iqbal he's very humble keeps himself as a low profile he's an amazing amazing incredibly learner figure one of the most learning people in the UK I believe right and in the english-speaking world do reach out to him but and I by the way I don't even know his opinion on this and he can disagree with me and that's absolutely fine I have no problem with people disagreeing with me right but one of the first hadith I learned in my teens when I started to visit shell city college to
go to his house I just go to his home he's to teach me basic aerobrake used to teach me basic things talk to me about talk to me about the Maliki method talk to me about these things and to put me up either he used to have this hadith written in this beautiful calligraphy on his wall right which said which societies from Bihari and Muslim is transmitted by an estradiol Aman and this hadith wallahi has become became the backdrop to my entire understanding of Islam so if you can take one thing away I would say take this happy and that is it's a sign with tough upon I'll
