Maryam 13: He had a kind heart and was very merciful. He abstained (from sins).

Verse 13 of Surah Maryam is a verse that has been explained wrongly. Let's see why it was explained wrongly, that Surah Maryam?

13th verse. Let's see how they wrote it.

"And from Us We also gave him tenderness of heart and purity. He was someone who guarded himself greatly," it says. "From Us," it says. Now: "From Us We also gave him tenderness of heart and purity."

Here Allah Almighty is being given an attribute. That is, the idea that He beforehand put whomever He wished into Paradise and whomever He wished into Hell, it brings that out here too. He wills it, and grants him a purity from Himself. That's what it says, isn't it? "From Us, tenderness of heart to him": "from Us," it says. Yet, in the covenant of Elestü bi Rabbiküm, when He made a pact with everyone, His making the person's wishes and desires, their wishes and desires by their own will, into their destiny: what became of that?

Whereas he was very God-fearing and guarded himself from sins. His heart was tender and he was full of mercy. And that is the correct one.

What does it say about him here?

"From Us We also gave him tenderness of heart and purity."

Here, if you open the verses letter by letter, letter by letter, the correct one is what is written here. What does it say? He was very God-fearing and guarded himself from sins.

Then: his heart was tender and he was full of mercy.

The Arabic verse: in the book where the verses are opened letter by letter, they have written the exact equivalents of the verses, their equivalents. These are texts written according to the meaning those letters carry. Otherwise, when it says here, you see, "We gave him tenderness of heart" and so on, they are attributing qualities to Allah Almighty here. Everyone's own wish and desire has become what is willed for them. But since these are prophets, since the prophets were separated from the soul of the Prophet, because they were separated, from their souls the prophets,

the first created, the first created, and what does Allah Almighty say? Since from the soul of the Prophet (peace be upon him) He made the first created ones prophets: I will send you to your people, He says, as elders, as fathers, He says, I will send you; that is, as elders I will send you, as messengers I will send you. Do you accept? We accept, they say. I too am among the witnesses with you, He says. Yes, the prophet.

In this case, the explanation here makes it seem as if Allah Almighty discriminated among His servants and to that servant separately gave a tenderness of heart. In this case a non-Muslim will say: You gave it to him, give it to me too (?). For me you did it this way. Give? Give, then. Cover the truth (?). Yet no one will (?) ask Allah Almighty. Not because He is Allah, mind you. Then? That, according to everyone's own wish and desire, Allah Almighty writes their destinies according to their aims, that people make requests within their destinies according to their characters, that Allah Almighty, according to their requests, in the worlds creates causes, and that people, by acting on those causes, prove what kind of person they are.

No one will be able to blame Allah.

Yes. Allah Almighty, Allah is just. Even if they are His prophets, He does not commit injustice by discriminating among His creatures.

Let's say He gave John tenderness of heart. But the Prophet (peace be upon him) He sent as a mercy to the worlds. Now, could John or Jesus or Moses or Abraham not say: if only I had come as a mercy to the worlds?

Could he not say: "If only (?) me"?

But, creating His light which He created from His first soul, and giving from His soul, He created the Prophet in proportion to His own will. Pay attention here. His own will. And within this will, Allah Almighty personally raised him. "In the hand of (?) power of my self, I swear by my Lord (?)," he says. The others cannot say this. No created being can say this either. Incredible. There is also His saying: Were it not for you, I would not have created the worlds. That is separate. That too is separate. A very famous matter. Indeed, without him the worlds would not exist. Without him there are no worlds.

(?) my Lord raised me, raised me beautifully, he says.

After that, those created from his souls are all equal. Incredible. Yes. Free in their own will. The Prophet too is free in his own will, but since by our Lord Himself he was raised, (?) to him. No created being can be compared to the Prophet. Yes.

Allah Almighty, Eleysallahu bi ahkemi'l-hâkimîn. Allah is just. Even if they are His prophets, He does not commit injustice by discriminating among His creatures. In this respect, His saying "From Us We also gave him tenderness of heart and purity": because of John's (peace be upon him) love and affection for Allah Almighty, and because he loved Allah so much, He wrote for him a destiny suited to his own (?) and nature; because of that, He says: From Us We also gave him tenderness of heart and purity. That is: We wrote his own wish and desire for him. In that sense. Yes. Also, His saying "from Us": there is no other god besides Allah who could give people their wishes and desires as their destiny.

We are explaining it a little here. In this respect, too, using the words "from Us": in terms of declaring to people that no god other than Himself exists, and its proof, that is why He used "from Us" in the verse. Yes.
