What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenMufti Abu Layth agrees with the guest that making Islam Bukhari-centric is a problem, as his BukhariGate series argues. The guest says the Quran declares itself easy to understand and that whoever thinks it difficult or rejects its clear verses loses access to it.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth says he agrees with the guest about the idealisation of Bukhari and the making of Islam Bukhari-centric, to which he has dedicated his BukhariGate series, and asks whether the guest holds that Muslims have the Quran and can still exercise ijtihad on day-to-day issues from it, or whether such a tool was learnt from the Prophet. The guest answers that the Quran says four times that it has been made easy to learn from, so to say it is difficult is to tell God he is wrong; whoever rejects its clear verses finds it becomes invisible and inaccessible, as he shows students that believing a problem difficult makes it so. He says the Quran is a miraculous, mathematically designed book full of layers of information, that those who want to see mercy find the derivatives of rahma more frequent than any other root while those who want to see hell see only hell, and that it is a wonderful book if approached objectively.

when we receive the Quran he's done his messengership therefore obeying God and messenger doesn't mean obeying God and Buhari obeying God his Abu this evening no I see like I agree with you on the idealization of bihari and making Islam Bihari centric and in fact I have an a whole thing dedicated called Bihari gate and the whole thing of the problems with Sal Bihari but on this note are you just to be clear are you stating that we have the Quran we have hispanica table but we can still do HD hard with it with day to
day issues so we use the Quran and take guidance if you are arguing that then is this top is this concept or tool of which they had not what we learnt from the Prophet himself no it is the process at the prom the verses of the Quran says Bayern Alina's these four people the Patea center for analytic refinement move back here we made the Quran easy to take advice from to learn from is he made it easy and repeats this four times Keith Urban will be in says it is obvious and you say no it is not obvious we say God you are telling us wrong it
is difficult to understand when you believe it is when you reject the verses of the Quran clear verses of the Quran the Quran becomes invisible to you you will not be able to understand the Quran you will not have access to Quran because your intention is bad you think that it is not understandable absolutely you handicap yourself mental and psychologically you will never be able to understand the quran and i have tests in the in my classroom sometimes to teach students if you mentally say this is difficult it becomes difficult sometimes impossible the simplest ask
that elementary schools can can solve the problem my students in college students they are not because i pass them through certain steps and then they think the next question is more difficult than previous one in fact it is very small if you think it is difficult to walk you won't be able to walk and therefore the famous quote that you know if you believe you can know you believe you can't either way you'll probably right yeah especially the Quran is a miraculous book divine book some people look at it is a book is kind of
disorganized full of some hell and this and these simple things if you look at the Quran you can see two things one is an incredible mathematically designed full of scientific information full of layers of information the meaning of the words I have given many examples in nineteen questions for ATS about the language of the Quran but at the same time if you don't want to see it absolutely you will not see it you will see every bad things there you will not see the gods name that is Rahman al
