The misinterpretation

As for those who believe and do good deeds, Allah will reward them in full. Allah does not love the oppressors.

The right translation

Those who believe and commit good deeds, Allah will give to them their full reward. Allah does not like those who continue with oppression.

Explanation

The missing and wrong opening here: (Allah does not love wrongdoers). Are there Islamic people who are not oppressors? The Holy Prophet (PBUH) was asked by the Companions: O Rasulallah, who is called an oppressor? The Prophet (SAW) said: A father who discriminates between his children is also a tyrant.

In this case, it is not that Allah does not love wrongdoers, but that our Lord does not love people who continue to be wrongdoers.

What is said in the video

Page 56, Surah Al Imran, in verse 57. As for those who believe and do good deeds, Allah will give them their rewards in full. Allah does not love the wrongdoers, it says. What did we say about this in the previous lesson too? We said: Allah does not love the unbelievers. Right? That's what it said, I mean, in the wrong version. What did we say in the correct one? Allah does not love unbelief. That is, He does not love what they do. Why? He loves those who carry out His command. Here too, not the wrongdoers. He does not love wrongdoing. It is general. For example, he is a Muslim. He does wrong. But he himself is not a complete wrongdoer.

Then there is the complete wrongdoer. Now, one is a complete wrongdoer. And another does wrong without knowing. Or he insults a person. That is also a wrongdoer. Well. What happens with these? They get mixed up. Then He would not have loved the Muslim either. But He does not love wrongdoing, it says. Wrongdoing. In this case the verse is corrected. As for those who believe and do good deeds, Allah will give them their rewards in full. In fact, what does it say sometimes? He will even increase it. He will also bestow favour from Himself, it says. We wrote: Allah does not love those who persist in wrongdoing.

Yes, this is the correct version.
