Page 307 - Prophet Isa (AS) Speaks from the Cradle

About this episode

Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Hanif discusses the verses of Surah Maryam where Prophet Isa speaks from the cradle, emphasizing themes of patience, trust in Allah, and the truth about his nature.

In this episode of the Tafseer series, Shaykh Dr. Aḥsan Hanif explains verses 27–40 of Surah Maryam, where Maryam returns to her people carrying her child and faces their accusations with patience and trust in Allah ﷻ. When they question her, she points to the infant ʿĪsā, and by the permission of Allah, he speaks from the cradle. He declares himself to be the servant of Allah, given Scripture and made a prophet. He is blessed wherever he may be, commanded with prayer and zakāh, and made dutiful to his mother, not arrogant or rebellious. Allah ﷻ then clarifies the truth about ʿĪsā, the son of Maryam, rejecting the false claim that Allah has taken a son. When Allah decrees a matter, He simply says “Be,” and it is. These verses remind us that Allah protects His righteous servants, truth will always stand clear, and every soul will return to Him on the Day of Regret.
