What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenThe second coming cannot be proven from the Quran, as Hassan Ali concedes, and the fact that most Muslims believe it only reflects what they were taught as children, as with folk tales of Ya'juj and Ma'juj. The hadith on it have chain problems and, more importantly, details that clash with Islam.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth continues his words of respect, recalling meeting Hassan Ali in London alongside other scholars [?] and his policy of returning respect to anyone who is respectful. Turning to the video, he welcomes Hassan Ali's transparency in stating that the second coming of Jesus cannot be clearly proven from the Quran, so that the discussion must focus on the hadith, which Mufti calls the truth and an honest step. To Hassan Ali's point that the majority of Muslims believe Jesus is coming back, he answers that they believe it because they were told the story as children, just as most Muslims believe folk accounts of Ya'juj and Ma'juj as gremlin-like creatures with enormous ears, for which there is no sahih hadith; majority belief, which he attributes to being raised on this mythology, does not make it true. He says he does not deny that these things come in hadith and asks Hassan Ali to watch his earlier video explaining why this is a narrative in crisis; the issue is not whether hadith exist but that they have problems, and he promises a future course-like video on the isnad problems. More than the chains, he says, the details inside these hadith clash with Islam: that Jesus will force people to become Muslim, seal the deal so that no evil remains, be a judge, make animals vegetarian, break the cross.

a kind of senior in age in that sense in respect I've met him personally on a few occasions we've disagreed in the past as well on other issues we've disagreed respectfully okay so I remember many years back we had this whole discussion on gene possession and stuff like this we disagreed one could say with zeal but still respectfully he still showed me a lot of respect look I don't know what's in people's hearts but I just go with the apparent okay so so in that sense he what I saw from him was love and respect
and he visited after that I once drove him around and you know it's it my ma went recently was it last year the year before when chef yeah yes sir oddly came to London so I went down and he was there with me that time he met me we had a discussion a brief discussion we share here sir called thee as well he was there as well she has an ally and even afterwards you know we went to get food very respectful asked me to sit next to him stuff like this discussed with me very so I have a respect for Cher Hasan Ali I watched his
video where he was refuting and speaking about but once again you know he wasn't disrespectful and so in that sense I have a policy as long as somebody's respectful to me I will always be respectful back to them so just some points on what he said he brought forward a few points you see I like he was there was more transparency which sure has an ally so he made a point very clear in saying that look this thing of the second coming of Jesus cannot be clearly proven from the Quran so let's focus on the hadith I like that because at least that
was an only step and you know so and that's the truth so okay he he highlights that look he starts he goes through several hadith and he mentions hadith and he says that look the he says look the majority the Muslims believe that Jesus is coming back I accept that the majority of the Muslims do believe it but they believe it because they've been totally a story since they were kids majority of the Muslims believe ya jus Jamaat huge have these very long years which they go to sleep in and then these
kind of like critter like I don't know like gremlin like creatures and and most of the Muslims believe that it doesn't make it true there's no sahi hadith to prove stuff like that but this is what ya dude my dude look like these kind of gremlins with long years and they put one off of them when they go to sleep and they put the other one underneath them and and you know all these kind of things these stories that we all I heard as a child and we all heard just because probably ninety over ninety percent of Muslims probably believe that about yeah dude imagine it doesn't make it true so just because Muslims believe it but that's more so to do with them just
being indoctrinated by whilst they were young indoctrinated is strong word but they were kind of put this mythology he says that look this does come in a hadith he quote several hadith right I'm just trying to go through some of his points here now the thing is I'm not denying that these things don't come in hadith my angle if you watch my preload I would advise if sharehouse and a leaders watch this then chef show current for your response first of all and secondly I would advise if you do have some time I know you're a busy person but if you take out some time
watch my previous video it is on YouTube and I explain why this is a narrative in crisis it's not to do with the fact is there a hadith I know there's plenty of hadith but the hadith have problems and it's not just and I will in time to come in my detailed video in the future which will be like a course like video so I will dedicate several hours to everything in that video I will show the East Nadi problems but this is more than just it's not the issue here is that the details inside these hadith clash with Islam stuff like Jesus will force people
to become Muslim Jesus when he comes he will seal the deal there will be no more evil left on the earth he will be a judge he will you know animals will become vegetarians he will break the you know these kind of things don't make any sense and then I understand sure Hassan Ali said these things maybe like metaphor but then the whole thing could be a metaphor one could argue you know if if you're saying everything you know the breaking of the cross is a metaphor the killing of the pig is a metaphor the evil disappearing is a metaphor if if you say the animals becoming vegetarian are metaphor if you say you know if
