Translation
Allah is Exalted above all the things they are saying. Allah is The Most Exalted and The Greatest (Kabeer).
Tafsir
Allah (swt) does not fit into any human mind and human beings cannot fully comprehend Allah (swt). They comprehend only to the extent of their intellect. They realize that Allah exists and that the universe was created by Allah. Apart from this, they cannot comprehend Allah, His knowledge and power with the intellect.
Therefore, those who follow the footsteps of tagut by following their ego, the temptation of Shaytan, people who are pleasing to their ego's desires, do not submit to Allah out of pride and arrogance and hatred against Allah. Allah is far greater than their associating partners with Allah and what they say. He is the Sublime. He is pure and One. And He is great, and no creature can match Him or reach Him in any way or be equal to Him. Allah is the Creator. He is the Creator out of nothing. No other being has the power to create except Him. In this respect, Allah is clear from the words of people who do not know themselves, who speak of Allah as attributing shortcomings to Him. Because He is complete and perfect.
What is said in the video
We come to verse 43.
Allah is free from what they say. He is exceedingly exalted and great. That is, Allah has no wife, no family, no child, nor are the angels His daughters. Anyway, non-Muslims have no knowledge at all about the angels either. Allah Almighty created the angels without gender. He created them without gender and without nafs. For this reason, in the state in which they act, that is, in the duty they are to do, without ever wearying they do the same work. That is one. People make robots. They load a program onto the robot. Those programs: the robot expresses its duty within that program.
Since Allah Almighty has the power to create from nothing, giving life belongs to Allah alone. What man does with a robot, Allah Almighty has done by giving life. In this case the angels are each like a robot. Only, they are alive. Yes. For this reason they cannot go beyond the duties given to them, and cannot know. Is there also a verse about their not being able to know? There is. He teaches Adam. To the angels: did I not tell you? You, He says. That I know what you do not know. He teaches Adam the things, He teaches the attributes of some things, and tells the angels: tell Me about these things.
They say this to Allah Almighty: apart from what You have made known to us, we know nothing. What is this? It is entirely His programming them, their not being able to go beyond that program. And Adam counts out the names of the things. The knowledge that will come until the Last Day He inscribed into Adam (peace be upon him), and those who will come from his (?) will, until the Last Day, have professions with that knowledge and earn their living. Yes.
Allah is free from what they say. He is exceedingly exalted and great, He says. Allah Almighty fits into no human mind, and people cannot fully comprehend Allah Almighty. They comprehend only in proportion to their reason. They comprehend that Allah exists and that the universe was created by Allah. Beyond that, they cannot comprehend Allah, His knowledge, His power with reason. For this reason, those who (?) their nafs and follow the trail of Taghut, people to whom Satan's temptation and the whims of the nafs are pleasing, out of spite and arrogance against Allah, out of their pride, do not bow to Allah Almighty.
Above their ascribing partners to Allah and above what they say, Allah Almighty is far more exalted. That is, their saying Allah has a wife, their saying He has children, daughters are Allah's offspring, their saying this. And Allah Almighty says: are the daughters Allah's and the sons yours? If so, this is a very unfair division, He says. What does He say? He says it. Now, in this case, well, Allah Almighty is of course far more exalted than what they say. He is (?), pure and one. Moreover, He is great. No created being can measure up to Him, nor in any respect reach Him. None can be equal to Him.
Allah is the Creator. He is the one who brings into being from nothing. No being other than Him has the power to create. For this reason, from the words of people who do not know Him, words about Allah that ascribe attributes to Allah, Allah is free. Because He is without flaw and perfect.
