The misinterpretation

Undoubtedly, Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham and the family of Imran and made them superior to the worlds.

The right translation

Undoubtedly, in the sight of Allah, Adam, Noah, and the family of Abraham and the family of Imraan are eminent within the worlds.

Explanation

This is where this verse goes wrong: Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham and the family of Imran and made them superior to the worlds. Our Lord does not select His servants among His creatures and make them superior to each other. As we have already said in the verses that have been misinterpreted, after creating the Prophets from the soul of the Prophet (PBUH), Our Lord addresses them as follows: "When a Prophet comes from among the Prophets who confirms what is before you after I have given you the Book and wisdom, you will surely help him. Have you affirmed this? Have you accepted this covenant? When I asked them, they replied that they accepted. Then Allah said, "Then bear witness, and I am one of those who bear witness with you").

Does Allah (swt), who has made such a covenant with all the Prophets, make people from the Prophet's lineage superior to other people, even though He did not make a choice among the Prophets? Does this not mean the following? When our Lord created human beings, He created them superior to each other. However, when our Lord created our souls in the realm of Lahut, He gave His Spirit to human beings as a part of His Essence. He gave this part of His Spirit to human beings without distinguishing them from each other. Every human being has chosen, by exercising his or her own will, whether he or she is committed to our Lord or whether he or she denies Him.

In this case: (In the sight of Allah, Adam, Noah, the house of Abraham and the family of Imran are among the elect among the worlds). It was because of the strength of their faith, that is, their self-willed commitment to our Lord, that our Lord said that their faith was superior to that of the people of that time, that they were among the elect among the worlds.

What is said in the video

Surah Al Imran, verse 33. Its wrong version I read again: Indeed Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham and the family of Imran and made them superior to the worlds, it says. This is the wrong one, the wrong one: Indeed Allah chose Adam, Noah, the family of Abraham and the family of Imran and made them superior to the worlds, it says. Now Allah Almighty again says in one of His verses: We created you as human beings honoured above the worlds. Above the worlds. Now, since we were created honoured as human beings, we also said why we were created honoured. Because Allah Almighty gave of His spirit only to man, man is honoured.

But if man does not know his limits, is unaware of his place, turns his back on Allah and spends his life in denial, and takes to evil ways, and the filth that animals do not do he does within his own lustful feelings, then they are lower even than the animals roaming the earth, it says. Lower even than the four-legged creatures, it says. Yes. By the deeds they do, they are human. In fact, by some of their deeds they are lower than animals, it says. In that case, now, He chose only Noah, the family of Abraham and the family of Imran and placed them above the worlds. Above us too; we were above the worlds, after all, and He placed them above us too.

Allah Almighty chose them. Whereas I too would say: My Lord, why did You choose them and not choose me? I have a will. I have my partial free will. You might say: Allah Almighty has the attribute of being God. What is this attribute of being God? No one will be able to question Him or call Him to account. Is the reason that He frightens us? No. That He will punish us? No. That He will throw us into Hell? No. So why? Well, why?

Each soul, with the deeds it has done, at the Supreme Court; do not forget this verse. Today no soul will be wronged, everyone will be given in full what they earned, according to the verse that says this. According to this verse I now explain the correct one: Indeed, in Allah's sight Adam, Noah, the house of Abraham and the family of Imran are among the chosen ones of the worlds. Among the chosen. Yes, among the chosen. By the deeds they did, by that faith of theirs, among the chosen. Yes. Look, does Allah discriminate between people at all? According to people's own desires and wishes He raises them. Yes.

That is why the verses cannot be explained just by knowing Arabic. Allah Almighty has servants He trains.

The heirs of the scholars, that is, there are heirs of the prophets. Not of the scholars; there are heirs of the prophets. Allah Almighty Himself trains them. Where? In the nafs al-radiya. In the fifth stage of the nafs. In the state of ilm al-yaqin. Allah Almighty trains that person in this. Your Arabic is of no use here. Yes. That is why in the fourth verse of Surah Ibrahim, Allah Almighty, look how beautifully He confirms what I am saying. With a verse.

Let's read that here too.

Not the fourth. In the first verse, separately. Now I read its fourth verse.

Shall I first read the wrong one? Let me read the wrong one. So that he explains Allah's commands to them clearly; look how beautifully it says it, look. Listen well. Pay attention to the words. So that he explains Allah's commands to them clearly, We sent every prophet only in the language of his own people, it says. These are the correct parts. The wrong one: Then Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides to the right path whom He wills. Is there such an Allah, who leads astray whom He wills? Whoever wills goes the right way, and whoever wills goes the crooked way. So this means Arabic is of no use, Arabic is not enough. Let's not say it's of no use; it is not enough.

That is why, to whichever people, whichever prophet, in whichever language Allah Almighty sent, in that language He speaks with him, reveals to him and sends His verses. And since no prophet will come again, in the nafs al-radiya Allah Almighty, to the heirs of the prophets, through inspiration on the verses, makes known to him the meaning of the verses, gives it, and he explains the correct meanings of the verses.

Yes. What does this mean? So knowledge of Arabic is not enough to explain these verses. Indeed, if it were enough, both the Arabs and those of ours who have done doctorates, who have done scholarship, our people, would not, copying from one another and ascribing attributes to Allah Almighty, have explained the verses wrongly like this.

The verses are not wrong, mind you. Don't go looking for a calf under the ox. They would not have explained the verses wrongly. Yes.
