Al-Baqarah 26: Verily, Allah does not shy away from giving the example of a mosquito or something above it (to explain the truth). Those who believe know that this is a truth coming from their Lord. But those infidels say “what did Allah mean with this example?”. With examples like these coming from Allah, many go astray and again many others find guidance. With these, only the ones who have gone astray get confused.

The misinterpretation

Undoubtedly, Allah; As for the believers who do not hesitate to set an example of the mosquito and something beyond it, they know that such examples are true and true from our Lord. As for the disbelievers, what does Allah mean by giving such an example? They say. Allah misleads many with it. It guides many to the right path. Allah only misleads the wicked with his examples.

The right translation

Verily, Allah does not shy away from giving the example of a mosquito or something above it (to explain the truth). Those who believe know that this is a truth coming from their Lord. But those infidels say “what did Allah mean with this example?”. With examples like these coming from Allah, many go astray and again many others find guidance. With these, only the ones who have gone astray get confused.

Explanation

When Allah (swt) created our souls in the realm of Lahut, when He addressed our souls with the address Elestu bi Rabbikum, meaning I am your Lord, there our souls were divided into three classes. In the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth verses of Sûra Vakıa: 7- And when you are three classes, 8- Those on the right, blessed are those on the right! 9- Those on the left, how unfortunate they are! 10- Those who are ahead (in charity) are ahead (in reward).

According to this verse, people, who are divided into three classes, have made Allah (swt) program them to be the kind of person they are by their own will and desire.

As we said earlier, the will is two. The universal will and the limited will. The universal will is Allah (swt). And the limited will is in human beings. When people make a covenant with Allah (swt), whatever they asked from our Lord in return for their own desires and wishes, our Lord gave them exactly what they asked for. Otherwise, Allah has not discriminated between His servants, categorizing them by His own will and making them the inhabitants of heaven and hell.

In that case, Allah will not lead anyone astray, nor will He guide anyone to the right path. Words like these describe Allah (swt), our Lord, who is free from deficient attributes. Allah shows people the right path. People who do not follow the right path deviate from it by their own will. Those who are guided are guided by their own will. In this case, those who deviate from Allah's command are liable to punishment. People who fulfill Allah's command are rewarded.

Allah has written the destiny of His servants according to their desires and wishes. People will be held accountable for their own actions. Allah (swt) does not exercise His will over people by removing their will from them. If we open the Verses, like the Verses that are opened incorrectly, we endow our Lord with incomplete attributes, we remove the attribute of Allah as Allah, and we attribute our Lord with attributes.

What is said in the video

The wrong explanation of verse twenty-one of Surah Al-Baqarah, this way we have corrected. Verse twenty-six has been explained wrongly. Verse twenty-six. Let's look at where that one has been explained wrongly too. Sir, surely Allah does not shy away from giving as an example a mosquito and something beyond it. These parts are right. That is, from the most ignorant of you, the most ignorant, to the most learned of you, He does not shy away from giving examples, from making comparisons. As for those who believe, through such examples they know it is the truth from their Lord, the reality.

As for those who disbelieve, they say: what does Allah intend by giving such an example? Allah leads many people astray by it. Allah forbid. Here now he has ascribed an attribute to Allah Almighty. Allah leads no one astray. If Allah leads someone astray, it means He is taking revenge on him. That is not befitting Allah's majesty. Yes. In that case, since every soul had the script of the covenant it gave written at the address "Elestü bi-Rabbiküm", when it made the covenant with Allah Almighty, since it had its destiny written for itself there, and since man cannot step outside since he cannot step outside it, his own covenant, his own actual deeds, his own free thought, with the actual deeds he has done by his own will, what kind of of person he is.

In that case, God forbid, Allah leads no one astray. If Allah had led people astray: ve mâ erselnâke illâ rahmeten li'l- âlemîn. The Prophet (peace be upon him), who came as a mercy to the worlds, would not have sent the Holy Quran to the worlds either. I mean, is Allah Almighty making fun of people? "Take the Quran, I sent it to you, but whatever you do, I will settle I will settle your account. Can there be such a God? Allah, Allah Almighty does His part. What does He say? My mercy has outstripped My wrath. So the Prophet (peace be upon him), whom He sent as a mercy to the worlds, also sends the Holy Quran to the worlds.

But, He says, you made a covenant with Me, and you will live out your covenant. Just: "You did not send me a prophet and a book." "I regarded you as My own self." So that you don't say: "If You had sent me to a world where You did not send Your Self, I would have worshipped You there." So I, He says, am sending you prophets and books. Come on now, step up, He says. Step up. Yes. Allah Almighty leads no one astray.

And He guides many to the right path, it says. So then, there are so many people praying. "O Allah," they say, "don't let Muslim blood be shed." "O Allah, save the Muslim lands." "O Allah, do this. O Allah, do that." Nothing comes of it for anyone. Why not? Man, the will is yours. In your own actual deeds you will prove what kind of person you are. Allah Almighty has programmed the worlds, those to come until the Day of Judgment. And since no one can step outside this program, every citizen, every human being will prove himself by the actual deeds he did within his own will. It's that simple. If you rise up like this and ascribe attributes to Allah Almighty: "He led some astray, and some He guides to the right path", go on, ascribe that to Allah Almighty, then why did He send us?

"O Allah, guide me to the right path." Well, guide me then; if you want sin, did He make me sin? Well, why did you come into the world? Why did I make a covenant with you? Because they could not grasp these things, they explained the verses as they pleased. And so they ascribed attributes to Allah Almighty. Yes.

What does it say? And He guides many to the right path. With the examples He gives, Allah leads astray only the transgressors. Just look at that. Look. Allah supposedly leads them astray. But now we read the correct version. Not "leads astray". The transgressors go astray. That is, by their own will. Remember, Allah sent His light, didn't He, and lit up the worlds. Didn't those who turned their backs on that light leave themselves in darkness? We explained this in verse 17 of Surah Al-Baqarah, didn't we? These are the same verses. Allah Almighty never, over His servants, takes revenge, nor does He guide them to the right path, nor does He lead them astray.

Ah, He sends a book, prophets and scholars who will show the right path. Who will show the right path. Because, as people said in the realm of the hereafter: "If You had sent us to a world where Your Self is not seen, if You had sent prophets and books, we would have worshipped You there", so that you don't say this, "We created these worlds", says Allah Almighty: Surah Taha, verse one hundred thirty-four. Open it: there Allah Almighty says what I explained in the most beautiful way with His verse. What does it say? "If We had destroyed them, that is, the unbelievers, with a punishment", that is, according to the covenant they gave, "if We had destroyed you there before sending you into the world, if you had not been going to say, 'If only You had sent us prophets and books, we would not fall into this vile disgrace'," He says, "I would not have sent you to these worlds." Purely the divine attribute of Allah Almighty.

Since no one can question Him, Allah Almighty has written everything out, laid it all down, left it to people's own will; and by the actual deeds people do by their own will, through deeds will declare himself either wretched or God-fearing. With the actual deeds he did through the movements of his nafs, with his rewards and his sins, when his life is over he will pass on to the hereafter. Then at the Supreme Court, Allah Almighty will say: so this is what you were. Come on now, you over here, and you to that side. Yes. Now let us read the correct version of this verse. Surely Allah, to make the truth clear with a mosquito and with what is bigger than it, does not stop giving examples.

That's how it is in the Holy Quran. That is, from the lowest of you, from the one whose mind does not work, to the one whose mind works best, He does not shy away from comparing, from giving examples. Yes.

As for those who believe, they know these are a truth from their Lord. But the unbelievers say: what does Allah intend by this example? Through such examples of Allah, many become confused. That is, with these examples He gave, these non-Muslims, or those who gave their covenant in the realm of the hereafter as wretched, as people of the left, what do they say? Through such examples of Allah many become confused, and again many find guidance. Only the transgressors become confused by them. How beautiful. Are we blaming Allah Almighty? Can Allah Almighty be blamed? Allah forbid. He brought the worlds into being from nothing.

He equipped us with every kind of knowledge. With Allah who created from nothing, you, with your fleeting mind, Allah, according to this verse, attribute, uh... Determine. How can you ascribe attributes to Allah? If you don't know, keep quiet, so they take you for a scholar. If you know, explain, so they call you a scholar. If you know, explain, but if you don't know, keep quiet. So they take you for a scholar, it says. Yes.
