The misinterpretation
Now we said to the (killed) man, hit him with a piece of (the slaughtered cow). Thus, Allah resurrects the dead and shows you His Verses so that you may ponder.
The right translation
We said, “Strike the dead person with a piece of the cow. Such is how Allah resurrects the dead. Allah shows the signs to you; for those who are to take advice.”
Explanation
This is the wrong opening place in this verse: Verses. The correct one is: For those who will come to their senses. Our Lord has sent His Verses as mercy to the worlds. Whoever uses his intellect, realizes that he will be held accountable for what he has done in this world, in the Hereafter, in the Court-i Kübra, and lives in obedience to our Lord, that person has used his intellect and has obeyed our Lord, and has become an obedient servant.
By showing such miracles to people, Allah (swt) shows such miracles to people in order to make us return to the truth, thinking that one day, when we taste death and pass on to the hereafter, we will be held accountable before Allah (swt) in the Court-i Kübra, so that people who will come to their senses will take examples from these miracles and return to the truth with their regrets and repentance. May they be servants to Allah and ummahs to His Messenger.
Allah (swt) has sent the Holy Qur'an as a mercy to the worlds. If all the people who saw such miracles had become Muslims despite seeing the Verses of our Lord, there would have been no tribe on earth other than Islam. These miracles are only a warning to people who will come to their senses.
What is said in the video
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 73. I am reading its wrong translation. Come now, strike the man who was killed with a piece of the slaughtered cow, We said. Thus Allah revives the dead and, so that you will think, to you His signs, it says. Hodja, what is there here? How beautifully He tells Prophet Moses. When they disputed among themselves over who had killed him, Allah Almighty says, slaughter a cow. One of the cows, He says. Sir, strike the dead man with it. He will come back to life, He says. He will tell you who killed him, He says. Sir, what is there here? Look now, what is there here? Say: strike the dead with a piece of that cow. Allah revives the dead like this, He shows you His signs for those who will come to their senses.
For those who will come to their senses. That is, so that, for those people. Yes. Here here again the word la'alla appears. La'allakum ta'qilun. Yes.
What does it say? Kezalike yuhyillahül mevta ve yuriküm ve yuriküm
What does it say here? He revives the dead. He shows you His signs. For those who will come to their senses. Again, so that, for those people. So how beautifully it says it. Allah Almighty makes a distinction here among people. Between those who believe and those who do not.
Whereas what does it say here? Strike him with a piece of it, We said. Thus Allah revives the dead He will revive, and so that you may reflect, He shows you the signs. So that you may reflect. He brought the word la'alle as 'so that you may reflect'. Allah does not know who will reflect and who will not. And We revived the dead so that you may reflect. Who among you? Who is God-fearing, who is wretched? It will become known here. Whereas how beautifully it says here: for those who will come to their senses. He revives the dead for you, for those who will come to their senses. He also knows those who will come to their senses.
This is a demonstrative pronoun. Yes.
Yes.
