What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

The guest waited two hours at the previous meetup, said his followers wanted a dialogue, and tonight Mufti Abu Layth wants to hear a Quranist make the case for the Quran-only position.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth prefaces the discussion by saying he was not familiar with brother Muhammad, known as MFG, of the Quranist movement, and had not come across him before, which he says is no discredit to anyone. He recounts that at his last meetup the guest joined the waiting room when the link was shared and waited patiently for over two hours, so at the end Mufti brought him on screen out of courtesy to apologise and let him say a few words. The guest had said that many of his followers wanted him to have a discussion with Mufti, which piqued Mufti's curiosity, and he explained that he is a member of the Quranist movement. Mufti says that tonight he wants to examine whether a case can be made for the Quranist movement by a Quranist.

Last um I just one moment. I'm going to see if I can silence a bit of the the PC has a has an internal fan. There you go. Right. So, um I on my last meetup I had a guest, brother Muhammad.

5:01

I'm just prefacing the discussion highlighting now. I'm not really familiar with uh MFG, Brother Muhammad of the Puranist movement. I've not really come across him before. If I have then, you know, maybe because I've been unaware of who he is, so I'm not uh that's not to any discredit to anyone, you know, I'm sure there's millions and billions of people I'm unaware of.

5:31

um if anything that's my own um you know little world microcosm that I'm in. So in any case uh brother Muhammad he joined when I shared the um when I shared the link to join the discussion he patiently waited uh you know in this waiting room that you get here and the discussion went on and I only came on to do an hour's discussion but he patiently I was there for over two hours he patiently waited so at the end I I didn't know who he was

but I just brought him on to say look I apologize and you know you've waited so patiently and I wanted to give you the courtesy of bringing you on the screen and and just saying that and you know if you want to say some words so he had mentioned and that's in my last discussion watching um he did mention that look uh oh mashallah getting ready he did mention that look uh a lot of my followers had really wanted me to have a discussion with you.

7:27

the Quranist movement by a Quranist. So I did my thoughts on this and I highlighted this last week is I feel that the Quranist movement is really it's you know it's a kind of reaction with a lot of rage a lot of anger almost and negativity and and and I'm not trying to villainize them by saying that I'm just explaining how it's
