# Why make a big deal of whether Jesus returns, and who is the message for? *Why make this a big deal, and who the message is addressed to* - URL: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/nhzyu3bkbwe/s/5/ - Date: 2018-03-13 · Kind: question · Transcript tier: machine · Recording: PRELUDE: Why There Is NO 2nd Coming Of Jesus (as) In Islam- Mufti Abu Layth (17:41–20:20) - Status: general teaching - Watch from the start of the segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHzYu3BKBWE&t=1061s - Recording page: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/nhzyu3bkbwe/ **Topics:** The second coming of Jesus; Responses to critics **Question as asked:** Why am I making this a big deal? And who am I addressing when I say Jesus Christ is not coming back in Islam? **Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth says his critics, not he, made this a big deal; he has taught it for a year and stands by his position. He is addressing only one of two broad camps of religious people. ## Longer summary Mufti Abu Layth frames the session as a prelude and backdrop to a fully detailed video response he will make after Shaykh Asrar [?] releases his, in a week or two. Addressing the question of why he is making this a big deal, he says he is not: he has been answering it for almost a year on his Monday night streams, and it became an international debate only when people jumped on the bandwagon of refuting him. He welcomes the debate, saying his case is reason against a dogmatic stance, and that now that it has become a big deal he stands by his position. He then asks who he is addressing and introduces the idea that religion can be understood in two broad camps of people. ## Sources and names cited - Shaykh Asrar Rashid [?] ## Transcript (machine tier, 17:41–20:20) [17:35] cherry-picking clips from people who they disagree with almost 90% of the time but now they found one thing and hamdulillah and they share a clip saying things like nobody has said this in Islam wrong again many people have said this in Islam I'm not the first person to say this so okay let's take a look at this pre-lit now right so what's going on this is a prelude this is a kind of a [18:12] backdrop to why I believe some of the reasoning behind why I believe there is no second coming of Jesus Christ in Islam I will be doing my detailed fully detailed kind of video response to share a surah once he does his he is gonna do his I think in a week's time and then in the following week or two I will have my detailed video response but this is a prelude to that this is to serve the backdrop so you can understand what's coming on first of all I wanna and there's a question why have I why am I [18:52] making this a big deal this is a good question why am I making this a big deal now first of all I am NOT making this a big deal I have not made this a big deal these people have made this a big deal I have been teaching you can check my Monday nights with Mufti I have been answering this for almost a year okay I've been giving these answers I've been highlighting it's only when people decided to all jump on this bandwagon of refuting me that they turn this into an international debate which [19:31] are hamdu lillah bring it on the way I'm saying you know because I know what I'm saying make sense and this is reason versus just a dogmatic stance so hamdulillah I have not made this a big deal to start off with they have made this a big deal secondly now that they have made this a big deal I am standing by this position so who am i addressing when I say this who am i addressing this thing of Jesus Christ not coming back in Islam now I need you guys to understand something this is [20:08] very important okay in Islam oh sorry religion religion can be understood in in two broad camps of people sorry I'm just trying to clear the camera here all right so religion can be understood in two kind of broad camps okay now this there's one camp of people abroad camp one camp of people this is religion with a capital R all religions right now this the first camp ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment NHzYu3BKBWE/s/5. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/nhzyu3bkbwe/s/5/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
