This segment2:29:34 to 2:32:11 · 2 min 37 sA view quoted in order to be discussed, not a position held
What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenThe guest says owning a slave is shirk, that kawthar means abundance rather than a pool, and that al-kitab is the one divine law sent to every prophet, whose goal, peacemaking, is secular while iman is distinct.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth puts three short chat questions. Asked whether the guest holds that owning a slave is shirk, the guest says of course: whoever makes someone his abd claims to be that person's rabb, which is to be a Pharaoh. Asked whether kawthar has a special meaning, he says it is not a pool but comes from a root meaning plurality, so it means abundance given to everyone, and the stories about a pool are made up. Asked about Muhammad Shahrur and his view that al-kitab is one book given to all prophets, the guest says he does not know Shahrur but agrees that al-kitab, in the singular, is God's one book or law sent to every group, whose details may change from age to age; its goal, which he calls Islam or peacemaking, is secular, while iman is different, so there can be Christian or Jewish peacemakers, as in the Prophet's Madinah, and the Arabic verb aslama means to actually make peace.

feel that owning a slave is [ __ ] of course so it's [ __ ] well you become the you claim to be the rug of that person you claim that he is my AB that simple if you make someone your add you you become a pharaoh cannot be clearer than that in Arabic it's called Abdur Rab slave ease up and you become rad you claim to become rad besides God era bobbin Allah it is rhetoric of rejection of being any red besides God you say no but I will say another right beside you I'm like Pharoah in Arabic Medina
hello sure somebody's asked here that what is you what are your thoughts on the word kotha in the quran in not a natural culture is there some special understanding no I'm not sure it is made of cow sorry it comes from kiss fear means plurality I gave you plenty it is for you - for me - it is general and they made it a part of my and stuff it is all made up as nothing to do with that that makes Salaam opinion on Muhammad Shearer who he is also for an alone and his ID on al-khattab being the only insane book
given to all prophets do you feel that so there's a two-part question I don't know if you're familiar with Mohammed share and the other part is that the view that al khattab is the same prescription given to all prophets do you feel nuts al-kitab is the same book yes given to all prophets is God's book it is in fact in singular form is used it is means divine laws but a start as far as the details in that one can change according to one oh man one time to another time but God sends book or
law to each groups and the Quran is the boss Testament Old Testament New Testament and stuff but all they have the same system it is called Islam is peace making the goal of Islam is a secular goal and Iman is different every movement every person who trusts God alone they are also peacemaker they are Muslims but every Muslim means peacemaker may not be necessarily be directional monotheism or mean they could be mushrik therefore that could be Christian Muslim Christian peacemaker
Jewish peacemaker in Medina they were all peacemaker it was a state of israei it's the ones who are making sin who are creating that verb in Arabic Islam is to say down yet to actually actualize film Salaam right okay a question here that just does the professor do you reject all books of hadith or there's some that you will accept like somebody has mentioned the mouth of Imam Ali I take it that you reject all listening I reject all hadees including my own hadees to be a source of system god only that it is God's machine and I would be
