Maryam 25: “Shake the date tree towards yourself so that fresh, ripe dates fall on you.”

Explanation
Translation
“Shake the date tree towards yourself so that fresh, ripe dates fall on you.”
Tafsir
When Hazrat Maryam was giving birth under a dried date palm tree in winter, she heard a call from Allah (swt). He commanded her to pull the branch towards herself and shake it so that fresh dates would fall on it. This event is another miracle. By shaking the branch of a dry and fruitless tree in winter, Allah (swt) offered dates to Maryam.
Nothing is difficult for Allah. Allah creates with His attribute of alim. Allah creates time within time. Allah creates superhuman events that are beyond human comprehension and mystery. In fact, if human beings were able to comprehend the miracles of Allah, they would also become creators. In this respect, Allah is superhuman and humans are incapable of creating miracles, so Allah has shown these superhuman miracles to humans in order to prove that His Essence exists and that there is no other deity besides Allah.
What is said in the video
O Gabriel, where are you? Why don't you appear before her and speak? Look now, what does verse 25 say? Shake the date-palm branch toward yourself, so that fresh, ripe dates fall upon you. Where did Gabriel go?
From these verses, too, do people take no lesson at all? Or they do not understand.
From the start, it would have had to be an angel addressing her as an angel all along. So from the start it is not an angel speaking, but our Lord Himself. Yes. Our mother Mary, while giving birth in winter under a withered date palm, again hears a call from Allah Almighty. He said: Pull the branch toward yourself and shake it, so that fresh dates fall upon you. This event is also a separate miracle. By the shaking of a branch of a tree withered and fruitless in winter, Allah Almighty offers dates to Mary. Nothing is difficult for Allah. Allah creates through His attribute of being All-Knowing.
Allah creates time within time. Allah creates superhuman events that human reason and insight cannot grasp.
Jonah (peace be upon him), too, when he came out of the sea exhausted, on the shore, unconscious, so that he would not stay under the sun, He makes a plant of the gourd kind grow. With its leaves He shades him there. Instantly. Instantly.
If people today grow some things with hormones, that cannot measure up to Allah Almighty's power. Yes.
For Allah nothing is difficult. Allah creates through His attribute of being All-Knowing. Allah creates time within time. Allah creates superhuman events that human reason and insight cannot grasp. Anyway, if man, if man's reason could grasp Allah's miracles — let us correct this part like this, we say: anyway, if human reason could grasp Allah's miracles, people too would each have become creators. In this respect, Allah, through what is superhuman and through people being unable to create miracles, with these superhuman miracles that Allah has shown people, (?) It is because He has proven that His Being exists and that there is no god other than Allah, it says.
