Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 75

"He will speak to people in the cradle, and also when
fully grown, and will be one of the righteous." (Surah Al
'Imran, 46)
In a miraculous way, Allah made the Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
give the explanation that was expected of Mary. By this miracle,
He restored her good reputation and informed the Children of
Israel of the Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) appointment as His Messenger
to them:
She pointed toward him. They asked: "How can a baby in
the cradle speak?" He [Jesus] said: "I am the servant of
Allah. He has given me the Book and made me a Prophet.
He has made me blessed wherever I am, [has] directed me
to perform prayer and give alms as long as I live, and to
show devotion to my mother. He has not made me insolent
or arrogant. Peace be upon me the day I was born, the day
I die, and the day I am raised up again alive." (Surah
Maryam, 29-33)
The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) declares that he is Allah's servant,
that he has been given revelation, that he is a Prophet expected to
call to faith when he reaches adulthood, that he must perform the
prescribed prayers (salat) and give alms (zakat), that he must re-
spect his mother's word, and that he will die and be resurrected on
the Day of Judgment.
This situation proved to the Children of Israel that they had en-
countered an extraordinary event: the birth of the Messiah (pbuh).
Allah reveals:
… and she [Mary], who protected her chastity. We
breathed into her some of Our Spirit and made her and her
son a Sign for all the worlds. (Surat al-Anbiya, 91)
