# How the dialogue came about: a guest who waited two hours at the last meetup - URL: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/onzjd7xmdhe/s/3/ - Date: 2025-10-18 · Kind: announcement · Transcript tier: machine · Recording: Br Muhammad MFG | Quranist Only Belief - A Dialogue | MindTrap #82 - Mufti Abu Layth (4:52–7:32) - Status: latest answer on its topic - Watch from the start of the segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONzjD7XMDhE&t=292s - Recording page: https://muftiabulayth.org/r/onzjd7xmdhe/ **Topics:** Quran-only movement **Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** 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. ## Longer summary 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. ## Sources and names cited - Br Muhammad (MFG, MuhammadFromGod channel) - Quranist (Quran-only) ## Transcript (machine tier, 4:52–7:32) [4:35] Last um I just one moment.

[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.
