The misinterpretation

We gave Moses the Book and the judgments that separate truth from falsehood, so that you may find the right way.

The right translation

And remember that We gave the Torah to Moses, for those among you who would differentiate between right and wrong.

Explanation

This is where this verse is wrong: When it says: "We gave Moses the Book so that you may find the right path", Allah (swt) is saying that the people were ignorant of their destiny and their covenant and that He sent the Book so that when they read it, they would find the right path. In this case, the verse has been opened incompletely by using a word in the sense that this people will all return to the truth.

The truth is: Although all the books are sent to all people through their Prophets so that they may return to the truth, our Lord sends His Verses to all His creatures knowing what they will do until the Day of Resurrection, marking those among them who will not return to the truth. For those who will return to the truth (from amongst you), for those who will find the right path that will distinguish between truth and falsehood. Our Lord sent books to His Prophets.

What is said in the video

Verse 53, that one too has been explained wrongly, of course; it all runs on in a chain now, it's been explained wrongly, you see, that's how these people learned it. Of the people within a nation who will turn back, the demonstrative pronoun meaning "so that": that Allah Almighty, according to the verse that there is not a single living being until the Day of Judgment whose deeds We do not know, has programmed people, or this world, until the Day of Judgment, and that within these programs, Muslims and non-Muslims living together, Muslims living as non-Muslims, who still have not understood or heard the truth, Muslims living as Christians among the unbelievers, "so that": with that demonstrative pronoun, because Allah Almighty knows they will become Muslims, He saves those people with the word lealle, making it a demonstrative pronoun pointing to them.

That is, these will turn back, He says. He grants them the chance of a span of time. Yes.

They explained verse 53 wrongly too. We'll read this one too. Let's see here as well what they explained wrongly again. So that you may find the right path, We gave Moses the Book and the rulings that separate truth from falsehood, it says.

Whereas: so that you may find the right path, We gave Moses the Book and His rulings that separate truth from falsehood. So that you may find the right path. Fine. He will find the right path, but look, its meaning is this: "And remember", it now says. Remember. We gave Moses the Torah. What does it say here? So that you may find the right path, We gave Moses the Book and the rulings that separate truth from falsehood. Allah Almighty: among the people to whom He gave a book there are also non-Muslims. There are also unbelievers. Now, what happens here when they don't believe? Either Moses (peace be upon him) could not fully explain the Book to people, or because the Book was not fully convincing to people, people did not believe in the Book.

It also means they did not believe in Allah. What does it say? So that you may find the right path, We gave Moses the Book. We gave the rulings that separate truth from falsehood, it says. The correct version is this: And remember that We gave Moses the Torah. Fine. He gave it. With it, for those among you who will separate truth from falsehood and find the right path, they say. How beautifully it puts it. For those among you who will separate truth from falsehood and find the right path, it says. What does the other one say? "So that you may find the right path", it says. This means Allah Almighty cannot know that among them they will find the right way. Fine. Allah's word is definite, clear-cut. Sir, it is perfectly clear, clear.

There's nothing left in the air like that, nothing in the air.
