What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Yasir Qadhi argues in the clip that the return of Jesus is established by mutawatir hadith and affirmed by the great Maliki scholars, so a Maliki cannot deny it. Mufti Abu Layth sets out the points he will answer.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth returns to Yasir Qadhi and plays a clip in which Qadhi says there are mutawatir hadith on the return of Jesus, that it became a standard motif in dozens of works of Sunni theology, and asks how anyone can claim allegiance to the Maliki school and deny the return when the great Maliki scholars affirmed it, calling the claim that Imam Malik did not hold it a huge one. In the clip Qadhi says only philosophers and those who believe in no religion deny it, associates the denial with the school of Muhammad Abduh, which he describes as sceptical of miracles, of the signs of the Day of Judgment and of hadith, and calls the matter a criterion between belief and disbelief. Mufti frames this as the next part of his series and lists the points he will answer: that one cannot be Maliki and deny the return, that it is a huge claim that Imam Malik did not believe it, and that hadith cannot be questioned.

2:12:54

[laughter] a pigs. [laughter] Pigs have had it. Don't worry. Wait till Jesus gets here. Right. Speaking of that people, we have our beloved. Our beloved. Yeah. Our beloved. We have to go to our beloved. Not not this beloved.

2:13:25

We're coming to you later on, man. Right, let's uh Where's the beloved, man? Where's the beloved? Where did I put this? You know what? Sometimes I have there's all these buttons and [laughter] I don't want to press the wrong one and reset the world by accident. Right. So, uh ah right. So taking a brief look at our below let's take an academic look let's remove ourselves from the emotional back and we have we havedah hadith about the return of Jesus and this is a huge thing that we cannot

2:14:02

just simply dismiss and ignore not a controversy coming back became a standard motif of many books of theology it's not something that is just found at random it is found in many dozens of works of Sunni theology. For any Malikis in the audience, the dawn of the Maliki school. So Malik is in the audience. Did I hear Malikis [laughter] teasing us?

2:14:31

How can anybody claim allegiance to the Maliki and how can anybody man anybody claim that Isa is not going to come back despite all of the great giants of the Maliki Medhab Madiki school claiming that Isa is so how can anybody claim allegiance to man I don't get it yet claim that Isa is not going to come back despite all of the great giants of the Maliki Mhab Maliki school claiming that Isa is going to come back and by

2:15:07

oh man sorry man way the notion that Imam Malik does not have this particular hadith it's neither here nor there I im read in that Immalik didn't believe that Isa is coming this is a huge claim of them and yeah our style is that as well that we make huge claims [laughter] we have to make huge claims huge claims only the philosophers and those who don't believe in any religion the basic deny this abdu Muhammad Abdul Muhammad Abdul is getting it for free [laughter]

2:15:45

is very skeptical of miracles uh very much in line with trying to to to take modern notions of liberalism and of whatever you know the notions are and to make them mainstream Islamic uh very skeptical of the science signs of the day of judgment um skeptical of hadith overall. So there's this school that's very wellnown type of people wellknown this is the criterion between those who believe in and those who don't believe in and that's basically one charge short of let's take an look let's remove ourselves from the

2:16:23

emotional back and so we have Abu we have so the this one man this one man and there were some companions he's mentioned Right. So, man, right, man. Right. So, here it is. So, we're going to take a brief look today once again continuing with the series uh disclosure with a big D [laughter] cuz this is what we didn't have.

2:16:55

And So these are things we've already kind of taken a look at. The response will be academic and Maliki dons clearly stated one cannot be Maliki deny imam Malik not believing is a huge claim.

2:17:22

Hadith can't be questioned since it's Allah's decision. Right? Okay. So first of all this point of uh saying right this point of saying that hadith right that Imam Malik because this whole thing let me just check that there's nothing wrong with the uh right now I was just checking for the uh I just thought the mic suddenly gave a weird [laughter] right now.
