Translation

They claim that daughters belong to Allah. No! Allah is exalted above that. And the ones they like (sons) belong to them.

Tafsir

People continue to slander Allah, saying that daughters are Allah's and attributing wives and children to Allah. However, Allah is free from wives and children and all such imperfect attributes. All human beings are entrusted to each other. They are the creations of Allah. Whoever Allah gives a boy or a girl, the people who obey Allah, out of their faith in Allah, accept the entrustments Allah has given them, regardless of whether they are boys or girls. People who know that these children are entrusted to them know that it is an obligation on those entrusted with them to raise them in the best way possible in accordance with the commands of Allah.

But people make a distinction between boys and girls. Those who have sons are proud of the boys and ashamed of the girls, as if they were their own creations, feeling a sense of pride and greatness. Allah, who created them, created them with males and females for human reproduction. So to find excuses for Allah's creations and to separate them from each other is to disobey Allah.

What is said in the video

57. Surah An-Nahl, verse 57. They claim that daughters belong to Allah. God forbid! Allah is far above that. And what they like, the sons, are their own, it says. So they attribute daughters to Allah. At one time, the children, ashamed of them, their daughters, alive they would bury in the ground, alive. People, continuing their slander of Allah, by saying daughters belong to Allah, (?) wives and children for Allah. Whereas Allah, God forbid, is far above a wife and a child and all such deficient attributes. All people are a trust to one another. They are Allah's creatures. Whomever Allah gives a girl or a boy, people who obey Allah, out of their faith in Allah Almighty, the trusts Allah gives, without saying girl or boy, they accept.

People who know that these children are a trust to them know that raising them within Allah's commands in the best way is, for those entrusted with them, a debt upon them.

But people discriminate between girls and boys. Those who have sons, God forbid, as if people were their own creation, feel pride and grandeur in themselves and boast of sons, while of daughters they are ashamed. Allah, who created them, for people's reproduction, femaleness and maleness created. So to find excuses with Allah's creations, to separate them from each other, means defying Allah.
