The misinterpretation

Do not knowingly confuse truth with falsehood, do not hide the truth.

The right translation

Do not cover the Truth with falsehood, while you indeed know the Truth.

Explanation

The word of truth cannot be confused with falsehood. Because the truth speaks the truth, and falsehood, on the other hand, leaves contradictions in the human mind that the mind does not accept, leaving contradictions in the human mind, arousing hoaxes in return for superstitions. If we give an example; if we pour olive oil over water, the water will be at the bottom and the olive oil will rise above the water and they will not mix with each other for eternity. In this case, the meaning of the verse is, "Do not cover the truth with falsehood, even though you know the truth." This is the meaning of the verse.

When He says that you know the truth, He means that Allah (swt) has given the intellect to man in such a way that he can distinguish between the right and the wrong. If the intellect had been given to man in such a way that he would not be able to distinguish between the right and the wrong, Allah (swt) would have been characterized and would not have given man the intellect to know the truth. In this case, when a person is judged to be wrong, he would say in the Court of Judgment, "This is how I understood it, I did not have the intellect to realize the truth, if you had given me an intellect that could distinguish the truth from falsehood, I would have returned to the truth," and Allah (swt) would be attributed. In that case you know the truth, so do not cover the truth with falsehood.

What is said in the video

Verse forty-two, they explained that wrongly too. Look now, what does it say? Do not knowingly mix truth with falsehood, do not hide the truth. Do not mix truth with falsehood. That is, it means: do not slip falsehood in between the truth and speak the truth along with falsehood. Do not mix truth with falsehood, sir, and hide the truth. Speak the truth. Along with them, too. The meaning of this verse is this: Covering truth with falsehood, that is, covering truth with falsehood, so what does this mean? When the truth is spoken: "No, your truth isn't like that." It's been covered over with falsehood, with superstition, you see.

This means, sir, a person, the one in front of him, like in the story of "the brazen thief cows the homeowner", don't try to talk him down, He says. Yes. What does it say? Do not cover the truth with falsehood and hide it. Whereas you know the truth, He says. How beautifully He says it. Whereas you know the truth. So if you know the truth, don't speak falsehood, He tells you. Separate falsehood out from here. Ah, who will know this knowledge? Who will explain it? "This is how it has come down": the men, those at the top, with these verses that go on like this, with such superstitions; we won't call them verses; those who explain the verses as superstition and with superstitions make others take them on, those who take them on and those who make others take them on, those who say "this is how it has been, this is how it will go on": these are responsible, they are accountable.

On the Day of Judgment, at the Supreme Court, in the presence of Allah Almighty, these Are those who know and those who don't know equal? According to the verse. The one who doesn't know may perhaps meet Allah's mercy, but the one who knows, what will he meet, I wonder? What will the one who knows meet? My guess is he will meet His wrath. Yes.

Again, verse 52 of Surah Al-Baqarah. All wrong, it has all gone on in a chain.

After those deeds of yours, so that you come to your senses and give thanks, We forgave you, it says. That is, after those deeds of yours, so that you come to your senses and give thanks, We forgave you. So Allah doesn't know, and in their future, those people, He forgave him, so that you'd give thanks. Well, what if he doesn't give thanks? What does it say? So that after those deeds you come to your senses and give thanks. "So that you give thanks": He doesn't even know they will give thanks. We forgave you, it says. Whereas look at the verse. Then We had forgiven you. Look: We had forgiven you. So that you give thanks.

When We grant a mercy to a community, We cover all of them, He says. Whether they obey or not. For the sake of one person He pardons those who are there. Since He pardons those who are there, look now what the verse says. Then We had forgiven you, all of you. To those among them who will turn back to Allah, to all of them, for the sake of those who will turn back, We forgave you all. So that you give thanks. That is, so that those people return to the covenant they gave. They will return anyway. Because that is their character. Now, here again the word lealle occurs, I think. Let's see.

Yes. What does it say? Sümme afevnâ anküm min ba'di zâlike lealleküm teşkürûn. The word lealle. This is where they always went astray. This is where they always ascribed attributes to Allah. Always.
