What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenMufti Abu Layth says Ibn Ashur wrote that the Quran does not deal with the second coming, not that nothing in it opposes it; the post confused yata'arrad with a verb meaning 'to oppose'.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth turns to the post's second claim, that Ibn Ashur showed nothing in the Quran clashes with the second coming, and sets Shadee Elmasry's translation beside Ibn Ashur's text. Mufti says Ibn Ashur is discussing a problem in one of the hadith: he notes the reports from a group of companions, mentions an interpretation that Jesus died and would be raised on the Day of Judgement, which Mufti says he himself does not take, and says the report that Jesus will live forty years is not transmitted by others, and that the reports disagree with each other and are unclear. Mufti reads Ibn Ashur as saying that the Quran, when enumerating God's favours upon Jesus in Surat al-Ma'ida, did not deal with the second coming, which Mufti calls a dismissal of it. Using Google Translate and dictionaries, Mufti argues that the verb yata'arrad means to be exposed to or to deal with, and says Shadee Elmasry confused it with a similar verb from another root meaning to oppose, so that his translation reverses Ibn Ashur's point.
Position stated
Mufti Abu Layth says that in Ibn Ashur's words the Quran does not deal with the second coming when it counts out the blessings of Jesus, rather than saying nothing in the Quran opposes it.
“the quran does not encounter this argument doesn't when it's counting out the blessings of jesus”

if you have some text saying jesus is alive it's better to interpret those to mean a kind of life of honoring like the way we say uh martyrs are alive this is like a kind of a it's an honorific speak okay in saying that you know we don't call them dead we call them that they are living you know with god that's how we we say so he mentions that now
uh now people's people's peoples the interesting point interesting the most important point so you say well okay but he didn't didn't hour below it uh below it didn't he show us that even our shoe there is no clash in the quran
no clash no clash [Music] no clash in the quran with you know against the second coming of jesus isn't this what he said isn't it what he said people so he says that this is what if not i'm not saying this even is saying this the maliki don that must have raised quotes
here you're going to see not only is he misquoting how poor his arabic is check this out people check it out man check it out this one right so this one where this one man where this one oh there is yeah so he mentions here
let me just switch that off right so this is check this out this is what ibn ashur is actually saying and you can read it in his tough seed i mean it's right here this is i've brought it on the screen for you in case you say this he says right what you're right and just to be clear just to be clear this is what shadi says he says a group of the companions of the messengers of allah narrate the hadith about the second coming of asa and there is nothing in the quran that goes against the second coming check his translation
now what what is ibn ashur actually saying he's saying there is there are ahadith which are mentioned and he's speaking about a problem in one of the hadith and he says whatever and they are a group of companions and there was a full stop here he's speaking about they say basically what even is one interpretation could be of the second coming uh just a brief uh joomla he's saying that one interpretation could be that he's
he's died but on the day of judgement he's risen he's kind of resurrected initially and this means that's i don't take that interpretation but i'm just saying ibn ashur is not saying that is it but he gives an he's saying this could also be one but then there's a hadith saying that when jesus comes back he's going to live for 40 years so here he's showing that that hadith he's going to live for 40 years whatever this thing is not transmitted by other companions and many other companions transmit the same hadith
then look come on and the reway the ahadith are all in disagreement they disagree with each other and they are unclear in what they're talking about [Applause]
did not even address who when counting the benefits of jesus the favors of god upon jesus when they enumerated in surah maidan in the surahs the quran did not address it did not deal with it did not encounter the second coming amongst those blessings you still don't yet the people yet what does yatar road mean and you might say well mufti you know this one
this one not nice my friend so look here's a definition of yatarad for some people they might go well you know mufti it needs to be in english man is on in english okay so let me give a i've got the there you go that's in arabic it shows but you might say well
no problem man no problem okay google let's start with google google translate you know you can just google things yeah so even google is showing that means to be exposed to to encounter to deal with something uh you might say well mufti you know i'm not trusting google you know no problem here's another dictionary for you to check right now this is
to be exposed to the quran does not encounter this argument doesn't when it's counting out the blessings of jesus why didn't god also say and we sent you back he's so he's actually kind of dissing the second coming the verb is so excited about his shady in his monkey business he confused it with the verb which comes from this root called arabah and here is that verb now arava
means to oppose so he is assuming that if you go back to it he when he's saying that oppose he thinks it says you are it it doesn't i mean he of course he doesn't he reads yatara but he assumes the meaning of yatara is you are but it it it doesn't mean that you know okay the the verbs are similar kind of verbs it's like saying you know the word i
don't know the member and remember and you know just because they've got these these similar they have similar roots and things to them it doesn't mean they're the same so he reads the quran doesn't even deal with this he's assuming that means you are it doesn't oppose it so you can see right there the second quran it doesn't go against it so this complete facade that you can see here [Music] this one we cut you out you know this
