What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth rejects the hadith of Jesus returning as a judge who offers Islam or the sword, saying it came from Christian belief and clashes with the Quran's no compulsion in religion.

In more detail

A caller who had sent Mufti Abu Layth quotes from scholars presses him on the return of Jesus. Mufti asks whether the caller holds it to be a fundamental belief, and the caller says not one whose denial takes a person out of Islam. Mufti repeatedly asks what the purpose of the return would be; the caller says it is to fix what the Christians have done, and Mufti asks why God would then leave Christians misguided for two thousand years. Mufti says the hadith has Jesus descend as a judge who gives people the choice of Islam or the sword, which he says comes from the Bible and Christian belief and was mixed in through Abu Hurayra and others, and that the Quran says there is no compulsion to embrace Islam. Mufti says such callers come underprepared and run away, and the exchange breaks off with phone trouble.

Position stated

correctedChecked by two independent reviews, not by the channel

Mufti Abu Layth says the hadith of Jesus descending as a judge on earth was made up from Christian belief taken from the Bible.

In his words

“which is the verse out of the bible by the way and it's christian belief and that's how this hadith was made up through abu hurairah and through those people who mixed it up”

hey ah this let me ma what is going on you know this is three hours in but what's going on what's going on what's going on man what's going on so essentially i had a question like um you you what's your question yeah i gave you i gave you quotes from uh um what's his name and uh

0:39

this is to do with jesus coming back yes exactly yeah okay okay can i ask you something since you're so hell-bent on this let's say on proving establishing this belief for others uh do you believe this is a fundamental belief of islam i would say so you feel it's a fundamental belief of islam yes from the majority of whatever ideas not be a muslim without this belief no i wouldn't say that's i'm still looking to the i don't think that's i don't think it's a fundamental like hell for not believing in this belief not necessarily

1:19

you know not necessarily but hello throw those questions aside let me ask you something jesus coming back right since this is something you're very passionate about and you're passionate to prove it can you tell me what is the purpose of jesus coming back what is the purpose of it i'm not i'm not going into that i just want to know oh since he's coming back is he coming back without a purpose yeah that's besides the point i was just curious because you're saying you're a maliki right how can that be

1:58

besides the point you know why because i'm about about trying to say that every muslim should believe in jesus coming back surely this belief has a reason to it here or do you just want us to believe every muslim should believe that uh every fifth frog is orange i mean is this such a random uh thing that we're coming up with or is this is there meaning behind this um presumably there is meaning of course there's meaning so since you do believe in it you obviously do believe in jesus coming back i'd like to ask you what do you believe he's coming back to do well obviously to uh

2:36

fix whatever uh mess the christians have started right with the oh he's coming back just for the christians yeah why not so then why didn't you anticipate and kill the girl at all why did god allow the christians still to mess up for 2000 years and then send him or like at least why not just send him at that time finish the job that's that's the wisdom of allah so the wisdom of allah is allow people to not believe in allah that's the wisdom of allah i'm not going to question it that's right all the christians who have died up until now god

3:14

allowed them to be misguided and then he chose to withhold jesus christ from coming to correct them but he's going to send him at some point to save a few christians but the bulk by that time have been misguided and god is now going to punish them but he's going to favor a few is this the same yeah yeah please don't run away from what i have what i came to establish you say you're a maliki right i'm running yeah okay so why did all the maliki scholars believe in it you say you're maliki jesus says none shall reach the father except through me i'm embracing jesus talk to us about jesus

3:52

what is it that why is god you believe in god sending jesus i want to know since you do believe in it unless you're going to tell me i believe in something i don't know anything why i or what i actually believe in then in that case there's no real difference between you and somebody who doesn't believe in it so if you do believe in it i've asked you what is the purpose now you said the purpose is for him to want to save all the christians which is really ironic since the antichrist you must start the point now this is the point

4:35

disagrees with you according to your version the hadith don't say to kill the antichrist but you listen listen listen the muslims before you the monkeys oh my god don't misquote that no i'm not even talking about the reason behind it i'm saying did the muslims believe it yesterday did the prophet tell you to believe in this of course okay what do you do there man according to khadi all the followers that you quote they say

5:18

so let's go to the prophet you said the prophet the prophet is enough for us let's go to the prophet so the prophet says in the hadith and you believe this hadith to be correct that the reason god is going to send back jesus in one of hadith it mentions that the jail thing what do all the other you know these that you're claiming in the 20s and the 30s what do they say they say he's coming to establish the kingdom of god

5:45

adalen that he will descend as a judge on earth so you believe let me get this right which is the verse out of the bible by the way and it's christian belief and that's how this hadith was made up through abu hurairah and through those people who mixed it up but the point is you feel that this hadith the prophet is telling people that jesus is going to come as a judge on earth he's going to come to judge mankind that's what the hadith says and the hadith says he will give them either they embrace islam or they face the sword now what does the quran say like

6:22

the hadith says don't make us wait with this you see these people this is the problem these people they start these discussions and they can't answer them they haven't got the answer let me tell you what that hadith says the hadith says jesus will come and he will descend to judge mankind he will have he will give them two choices islam or the sword and those that join him will be safe and those that don't he will fight them what does the quran

7:02

say there is never compulsion to embrace islam what is this particularly no jesus will force people to become muslim you think what kind of church are we embracing here this is bye bye this one big problem you know these people run away you know they come underprepared so people with that let's wrap it up it's been awesome

7:41

uh right uh see this is why i say i'm all happy to have a uh i'm all happy to have a dialogue but then don't uh don't you're running you know these are not nice you know you need to talk you know it's good to talk it's good to talk kill one then most time my phone is messed up

8:12

[Laughter] is a misguided individual but they've also believed that to take people as slaves is fine do you believe why are you why are you a maliki then what's the point of being malignant yeah the purpose of maliki is the legacy it's not to worship y'all no you believe now let me ask you since you're quoting others as an authority do you accept him as an authority i'm i'm not a malaysian i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm speaking to you i'm speaking on
