This is the true word about Jesus, the son of Mary, about whom they divided with doubts.
Tafsir
Allah (swt) completed what they had doubted about Hadrat Maryam by making Hadrat Jesus (pbuh) speak as a newborn baby in swaddling clothes. In this way, he revealed to the people that Mary conceived Jesus without a father by Allah's command to be, that he was a servant and messenger of Allah, and that he spoke as a miracle of Allah.
What is said in the video
We have come to verse 34 of Surah Maryam. That is Jesus, son of Mary, about whom they doubt — the word of truth, it says.
If what you doubt is — that is, no child is born without a father, "surely you have committed an evil deed" — to those who slander our mother Mary, to those in that doubt, He says: this is the word of truth. That is, the child speaking in the cradle. This — his being created by Allah Himself without a father, and this creation, it says. The creation of Jesus is just like the creation of Adam. When He says this — in the face of today's Christian world defining Jesus as the son of Allah, and defining Mary, God forbid, as Allah's wife — because He knew such words would be said, Allah Almighty says: his creation is just like the creation of Adam.
How, like the creation of Adam? O people! We created you in the realm of Lahut as spirits. We also created your prophets first. We shaped Adam from earth as a body and breathed into him Our spirit. Our spirit. Just so, into Jesus too We breathed Our spirit. Just as We breathed into that clay, shaped it and brought it to life, similarly, in Mary too, the bringing about of a fatherless child is among the miracles of the Lord, it says. In fact this is the spirits' having been created before in the realm of Lahut, it says. Yes.
How beautiful. Well, if you broaden this with word games, if you interpret it allegorically,
from allegorical interpretation to Sufism, from Sufism it goes as far as the Mu'tazila. As far as the Mu'tazila, that is, as far as denial. Well, as you interpret it allegorically, a breach opens. A breach opens. The more the breach opens, you head to kufr. But if you know the verses well — the verses, when the spirits were created — if you know well: our Lord first creating the spirits of the prophets. From whom? From the spirit of the Prophet. Jesus' spirit too was created from the spirit of the Prophet. The first created. Because because the Prophet — ve mâ erselnâke illâ rahmeten li'l-âlemîn — came as a mercy to the worlds.
From his light the universe, and from his spirit people were indirectly created. From his spirit. In this case, the prophets, the first created, from the Prophet were created as a part, and however many prophets our Lord would send — they say 124,000 prophets — His saying to them: I will send you to your peoples as messengers, do you accept, and in response to their saying yes, His saying: and I with you have been a witness — Allah Almighty's breathing Jesus' spirit into Mary is not breathing by separating it directly from His own being, no, but from the spirit of the Prophet, whom He created first, separating a part; and Adam too, just like him, by a part separated from the spirit of the Prophet — so when He says it is like the creation of Adam, all of them, from the Prophet's spirit, are separated, and then, He says, I bring them as I wish into the world realm, in the way I want, He says.
He has the power to create. For Allah there is no "no". When We will something, We say to it: Be, He says. But this "be" is not immediately sound and letters. So He willed to bring about a fatherless offspring, to bring about a child without a father. What is His will? Be. He is born in 9 months and 10 days. Yes. So, as Imam al-Ghazali also said, that foolish man says, he says, Allah Almighty said be and it was. Nothing, he says, happens by sound and letters. He created even the universe by the will "be". But it was not by sound and letters. The heavens (?) in two days, He says. The earth too in two days. Between them (?) in two days I created, He says.
Altogether, what did it make? It made six days. If a thousand years here are like one day of the hereafter, if creation is not by the days of this realm, He created it in six thousand years.
Yes. Everything is plainly evident. That is why nothing is difficult for Allah. Only, interpreting it allegorically — interpreting it allegorically leads people to kufr. To kufr. From allegorical interpretation comes Sufism. From Sufism comes the Qadariyya. From the Qadariyya, if it goes further, the Mu'tazila, deviation in religion, comes out. Yes. So when we don't know the verses, we will ask those who know. We will ask the scholars.
That is Jesus, son of Mary, about whom they doubt — this is the word of truth, it says. As the word of truth. That is: I, by our Lord Himself, without a father, am a prophet created in response to our Lord's command "be", he says. This is the word of truth, it says. This is the word of truth. So Allah Almighty completed what they doubted about Mary, as the word of truth, by making Jesus (peace be upon him) speak, a newborn baby in the cradle. That Mary, by Allah's command "be", became pregnant with Jesus without a father, that he is a servant and messenger of Allah, that he spoke as a miracle of Allah — thus to people He declared it.
In this case every person of sound mind, every person who listens to the voice of his conscience, between his nafs and his faith using his reason, surrenders to the truth and bows to the truth. He falls into prostration. But apart from this, the person whose mind is overcome by nafs-driven and satanic feelings — in ways Allah does not want, living ungrateful for the blessings our Lord has given — uses up his life and incurs his Lord's wrath. May Allah protect us from such a state. Yes.
