What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenIbn Ashur, al-Shatibi and Ibn Khaldun all problematised the Mahdi reports and treated such matters as information rather than creed; Mufti Abu Layth says the return of Jesus is a discussion within Islam.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth says he has done nothing different from presenting what scholars have said. He cites Ibn Ashur, Shaykh al-Islam and Grand Mufti of the Malikis and an inspiration to him, who in his book Tahqiqat wa Anzar [?] finds the Mahdi material insufficient and faulty; al-Shatibi, who in al-I'tisam [?] held that the Mahdi is Jesus himself, since both are said to fill the earth with justice; and Ibn Khaldun, who in the Muqaddimah brings all twenty-eight Mahdi hadith and shows their problems. He says Ibn Ashur classed these matters as Islamic information to be read and discussed, not creed, and that Shaykh al-Sha'rawi, who believed in the second coming, likewise said it is not part of aqidah. He concludes that this is a discussion within Islam and that the more people claim it is clearly proven in the Quran and never disputed, the more they will fall flat as people discover otherwise. He then names Shaykh Hamza Maqbool and Shaykh Shadee Elmasry as scholars whose approach has disappointed him.

Position stated
Mufti Abu Layth holds that the Mahdi and the return of Jesus are matters of Islamic information open to discussion within Islam, not creed, as Ibn Ashur and al-Sha'rawi held.

comes to mind but I can't say where he says it begins by saying no tomorrow Ishq Ishq this is your love is love and and my love is what my love is all about is supposed to be all about sex is what why can't my love be about self you know what's what what's wrong with this why why are you so you know why is it when it comes to other people people have this actually so I'm just presenting these things look everybody's picking and choosing everybody is doing this
they're doing something what makes sense to them and I've done nothing different I've just presented what these wanna have said you know that these will amount of questioned these things and people like if not assured who is the shell Islam of his time he was the Grand Mufti of the Maliki I'm Maliki he's an inspiration to me he writes in his book tactic art one thought he brings the thing on the matter and he says that the Manatee thing is insufficient it's not it doesn't qualify it like he finds that this faults in in all the hadith on the Mahdi and the interesting thing is before him hundreds of years even the hold on the Maliki
found folks in order the Mahdi thing I'm shot to be the great Maliki scholar said that the Mahdi he said that the Mahdi was supposed to be Jesus there is no other man T because the hadith says all the matter will come and fill the earth with justice but then the hadith says Jesus will come and fill the earth with justice so it doesn't really make any sense because why is everybody just coming and filling it with justice I mean that doesn't make any sense he's coming and filling it with justice he's coming filling it with justice hey once ok so he felt that look in his aorta Psalm that's how he kind of alludes to that understanding that Jesus is the Mahdi now the point is all these people
had problematized this if not all problems are and then he says the usher artists are in his book dr. Kawa and rod he brings the hadith of the mati and he problematizes them as if Nakuru dawn brings all 28 and shows the problem in them if nourisher says the usher all to Sarah or just mehar if Islam Union this is Islamic information which scholars can read about and discuss this is not from al-qaeda and this is the same thing the great shares of Eliza Shara we said the same thing who actually believed in the second coming of Jesus but he said it's not a part of a theta it doesn't impact a Muslim so I'm really trying to so my whole thing of putting this out
there is to say look people this is a discussion within Islam and the more you keep lying the more you're gonna fall flat on your face because the more you keep saying this is clearly proven in the Quran and nobody disagreed with this people are gonna start finding out they did disagree with this and this isn't proven in the Quran and Sunnah you know I heard chef this a few scholars now Sheikh Hamza bull chef shaadi al Masri you know apart from the fact that chef shaadi atmosphere I'm just arson I am very I mean some of these scholars look what it is I'm very disappointed in their approach really because these
