Translation

And because of their denial and their grave slander against Mary (The Mother of Jesus).

Tafsir

When Mary gave birth to Jesus, they accused her of adultery, whereas Jesus performed many miracles when he was still a baby, was made to speak by Allah, and testified to the oneness of Allah, and they killed the Prophet Zacharias because of their disbelief, And then, they attributed a greater crime to Maryam, calling Jesus the son of Allah, and they also made a crime and slander against Allah, who does not need anything, and made Maryam the wife of Allah, which increased their disbelief.

What is said in the video

And because of their denial and their casting a great sin upon Mary, their casting slander, it says. What is it? The sealing of their hearts. Their having their hearts sealed against Allah Almighty.

They slander Mary. What do they say? The wife of Allah. Or else, that she slept with someone else. But when Jesus spoke, this time they slander again. The wife of Allah, they say. Jesus was the son of Allah anyway. And they accept Allah as the greatest of three. Allah forbid. There is no such god. There is no such Allah. There is no Allah with wife and children.

Allah is one in His essence. Yes. With Mary giving birth to Jesus, their accusing Mary of adultery; in return, Jesus, while still a baby, showing many child miracles, showing many miracles while a baby, it says, being made to speak by Allah and bearing witness to Allah's oneness; besides that, because of their disbelief their killing the prophet Zechariah, and then accusing Mary of an even greater crime by calling Jesus the son of Allah, and so committing crime and slander against Allah, who needs nothing, and putting Mary in the position of Allah's wife, increased their disbelief. Jesus speaks as a child.

Even before, his mother dedicates Mary to Allah while she is still in her womb. Then when it is a girl, she says, my Allah, it is a girl. As if, my Lord, I did not know, she says. And she brings her and leaves her at the church. Zechariah (peace be upon him) (?) her care.

Then they first (?) slander from Zechariah (peace be upon him). When Jesus was born as a child, her taking him in swaddling clothes, that is, wrapping a piece there, (?) a cloth, when she came to her people with him in her arms, Allah Almighty says, O Mary, say, today I am fasting. Show the child, He says. The child speaks the tawhid. La ilahe illallah, I will be a prophet to you, he says. When that newborn child speaks Allah's word, they are astonished. They are astonished. And after that, yes, the believers say this. And for Mary, the wife of Allah, (?). For Allah. And Jesus, they say, is the son of Allah.

Now here let us prove one more word, one more word I said a moment ago. Let us confirm it. We sent Our spirit, it says. Our spirit. Gabriel, they say. To whom? To Mary. Gabriel. Why? So that he comes to Mary. If Gabriel had come, those who accuse Gabriel of having a sex, in their minds, would say it came about from Gabriel and Mary sleeping with each other. Allah forbid. That is, I am saying this to prove how pure and clean Mary was, anyway. Yet, you see, the angels are sexless. In this situation Gabriel cannot load a spirit. Because he does not come near a woman. Gabriel. What was it? Gabriel does not come near a woman.

How do you know, Hodja? Look, I will tell you how I know. Khadija. Well, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) married, he says, O Khadija, cover me, Gabriel has come. After speaking with Gabriel, the Prophet would tell Khadija about it. Khadija's uncle Waraqa was a very learned man. She comes and says, my uncle, Muhammad says, she says, when Gabriel comes, cover me, he says. And I cover him. After Gabriel leaves, he uncovers himself, she says, and tells me. Is it really Gabriel, she says. He says, the next time something like this happens, if he says Gabriel has come, he says, uncover your head, uncover your head and ask whether Gabriel has gone or is staying.

All right, she says; he comes home again and Khadija covers him, covers him, Khadija uncovers her head. She says, is Gabriel there? O Khadija, he has gone, he says. Gone. She covers her head. What did he do, she says. He came, he says. He came, he is here, he says. When she uncovers her head again, now what is he doing, she says. O Khadija, he has gone, he says. What are you doing there, she says. What are you doing there? So, let alone uncovering the head, he cannot breathe that spirit into that womb. This is not Gabriel's work. Then whose work is it? The work of our Lord, who created every part of us knowingly.

What does it say? (?) To Mary, it says, an appearance in human form. And He says it beautifully. However you see Me, I am that, He says. However you imagine Me, I am that, He says. Well, Hodja, does what you said not contradict this verse? You know, it was an unseen world. He did not appear even to Moses. An unseen world. Your mind cannot grasp it, I will explain it now. An unseen world. Of course, if you do not know the verses, if you do not know that reasoning, you cannot know these verses. Mary does not know Him as Allah. What does she say? If, she says, you fear Allah, do not come near me. Look what she says. If you fear Allah, do not come near me.

She does not know that it is Allah. Yes. She does not know that it is her Lord.

And He says, I have come to give you the good news of a boy. He does not say, of your Lord. Then she says, no human hand has touched me, so how can it be? He speaks like a human. I am of humans. And He says, it is so. With your Lord this matter is done and finished, He says.

She does not know that it is her Lord. Yes. While she gives birth to the child, He does not appear to her either. O Mary, pull the palm branch toward yourself and shake it, He says. Yes. And Moses says, my Lord, let me see You. Does he want to make my Lord contradict Allah's verses? That is, since He cannot be seen with these eyes, if that mountain, He says, stays in its place, then you will see Me, He says. How severe and binding His command, His (?), is, it shows us. (?) (?) we cannot see and perceive Him with these eyes. But we see Him and cannot perceive Him. We both see and cannot perceive.

We cannot say, this is our Lord. The verse says so too, but they explain it wrongly. What do they say? He perceives all eyes. That is right. He encompasses and perceives all eyes. Right. He encompasses and perceives. But we cannot encompass and perceive Him. That is, He perceives, and we cannot see Him. So, from an unseen world, a world of our Lord. An invisible world of His.

Yes.

(?) it is probably a bit heavy. For the one who knows, it is like butter. So after that they commit yet another great slander against Allah Almighty.
