Ali 'Imran 26: Say “My Allah Who is the owner of all possessions. You give possessions to whoever desires from You and You take possessions from whoever desires from You; You raise those who desire from You and you lower those who desire from You. All goodness is in Your Hand. Truly, You have the power to do everything.

The misinterpretation

(My Messenger) Say; My God, the real owner of the property! You give the property to whomever you wish and take it back from whomever you wish, you exalt whom you wish and humiliate whom you wish. All good deeds are in your hands. Truly you are Almighty.

The right translation

Say “My Allah Who is the owner of all possessions. You give possessions to whoever desires from You and You take possessions from whoever desires from You; You raise those who desire from You and you lower those who desire from You. All goodness is in Your Hand. Truly, You have the power to do everything.

Explanation

The wrong place in this verse is where they always repeat and misinterpret the meaning of the verses and blame our Lord. Giving property to whomever they wish, taking property from whomever they wish, removing the Will of our Lord over people and using the Will of our Lord over people. Our Lord made a covenant with human beings in the Elestu bi Rabbikum address and wrote the desires and wishes of human beings as their destiny. When people come into the world and make desires and wishes in return for their own desires and wishes, our Lord creates causes against their desires and wishes. In this way, people prove what kind of a person they are by their actual actions. The meaning here is that he tests people sometimes with nothing and sometimes with something.

What is said in the video

Now, there is a verse, the 26th verse. Again, I will first read its wrong version, then I will read the correct one. O Messenger, say: O Allah, true Owner of sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and take sovereignty away from whom You will. You exalt whom You will and You abase whom You will. All good is in Your hand. Truly You are able to do all things.

I wrote a small note underneath. Let me read that first. It explains the meaning anyway. I wrote: people's willing is their test within their destiny. Here it is not Allah Almighty's willing over people. What did we say? We read the correct one. O Messenger, say: O Allah, true Owner of sovereignty. You give sovereignty to the one who wills it. And You take sovereignty away from the one who wills it. A man gets fed up. "I won't do this job," he says. Or else he cheats his partners. It falls apart and is gone. You exalt the one who wills it. And You abase the one who wills it. That's right. If you turn your back on Allah, did Allah will it, that you turned your back on Me?

You abase yourself in Allah's sight. If you turn to Allah, you exalt yourself in Allah's sight. good is in Your hand. Truly You are able to do all things. Destiny and evil are from Allah, after all. This good is for the one who does good. Good is in Allah's hand, good. Why? We say: good is in Your hand. Good. Man is ignorant. He has gone into unbelief. Now if good were not in Allah's hand, when he went into unbelief He would not do him any good. He would say: good does not suit you. But what does He do? When he repents and asks forgiveness, Allah Almighty takes him under His own rule. Good is in His hand.

Truly You are able to do all things, we say. Yes.
