The misinterpretation

How can Allah guide a people who have turned to disbelief after they had believed, had testified that the Messenger was true, and clear proofs had come to them? Allah does not guide the unjust people to the right path

The right translation

How can a nation find the guidance of Allah, after a Prophet came to them with clear signs and they had believed, yet later they still return to denial? Allah does not guide oppressors (if they continue with their oppression).

Explanation

There are two misunderstandings here: First: How can Allah guide a people who disbelieve after they have testified that the Messenger is the truth and clear proofs have come to them? The truth is: How can a people who disbelieve after they have testified that the Messenger is the truth and clear proofs have come to them (in that state) attain Allah's Guidance?

Humans are created in error. In this wrongly opened verse, people have characterized our Lord. They have covered the door of Allah's mercy and closed the doors through which people can repent and seek refuge in the forgiveness of our Lord. However, our Lord accepts repentance until the end of life.

In that case, how can our Lord guide those who continue to deny the truth and die? We said there are two wills. The universal will and the limited will. When our Lord made a covenant with man, He gave the will of man into his own hands. In this case, He has put man's destiny in his own hands and whatever they have asked from Our Lord, Our Lord has written their desires and wishes in their destiny in full. In that case, He will not guide people who go to the Hereafter as disbelievers.

However, people are human, they are fallible, and if they see the truth and return to the guidance of Allah, our Lord forgives such people, because there is no other door to go to but our Lord. These are also called apostates. So they are renegades.

The second place is the wrong opening: (Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people). As long as the wrongdoers remain in that state, they cannot attain the guidance of our Lord. We must never forget this. There are two wills and man is free in his will. Man will be held accountable for what he does. Our Lord does not remove His will from people and use His own will. In this case, since the door of repentance is open until the end of time, if man renounces his cruelty and repents, he will be forgiven by our Lord. If this forgiveness is not eternal hell, but if his guilt is greater than his good deeds, he will be included in paradise after staying in the place of torment called hell for as long as his sin for his guilt.

What is said in the video

A people who, after having believed, after believing, after bearing witness that the Messenger is true and after clear proofs came to them, turn to disbelief: a people while in that state, how could they attain Allah's guidance, it says. Now, we have read the correct one. First let us read the wrong one, and then read the correct one. After they believed, bore witness that the Messenger is true, and after clear proofs came to them, how would Allah grant guidance to a people who turn to disbelief, it says. These parts are correct. Allah does not lead the wrongdoing people to the right path, it says.

Here, my dear, there are two things written in this sentence that contradict the verse. What does it say? Allah does not lead the wrongdoing people to the right path. First of all, Allah does not lead anyone anywhere. Keep this in mind.

Why did we say that? We will prove it this way, we will prove it. Never believe my words without proof. If I don't prove it, if I don't prove it with verses, don't believe me either. As in, "the Hodja always speaks the truth, let's say amen to everything he says" and so on, there is no such thing. Everyone will use their reason. One: Allah Almighty gave people a will. Will is of two kinds. Universal will and partial will.

The universal will: He created our souls in the realm of Lahut. At the address of "Elestü bi Rabbiküm", when He said "I am your Lord", our will was upon ourselves; of our own desire and wish we made a covenant with Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty put no pressure on us, did not threaten us, did not force us. Within our own will we had our own wish, our script written. We had it written, we had our script written. That writing became our destiny. And Allah Almighty programmed these worlds according to these destinies. No one can step outside this program. And Allah Almighty does not break this program, the program of this program, does not break the program people had programmed and then, my dear, put someone bound for hell into paradise, or someone bound for paradise into hell; He doesn't, He doesn't. Because everyone will now live their destiny. For this reason Allah no longer leads anyone anywhere. Allah only shows the right path, to the polytheist too, to the non-Muslim too, to the Muslim too; to however many people He created, He shows all of them their right path.

Because the Quran came as a mercy to the worlds. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came as a mercy to the worlds. Ve mâ erselnâke illâ rahmeten lil âlemîn. This being the case, with the decisions everyone will make within their own will, what does Allah Almighty say in the verse? Did you think you would die without proving what kind of person you are, it says. So how will we give this proof? With the decisions we ourselves have made, with the deeds we have actually done, we will prove what kind of person we are. Then, well, Allah Almighty loves us. If He said, "My servant, I love you, you do these things but I will forgive you", wouldn't Allah Almighty, would He not be given an attribute? Would His attribute of justice not be harmed?

Yes.

Here we said there are two mistakes. The first: with the wrongdoer, Allah does not lead the wrongdoing people, it says, to the right path. Well, among the wrongdoing people is there no one who becomes Muslim? There is. The disbelieving people, for example, it says, Allah does not guide. Well, is there no one among them who finds guidance? Whereas they rendered that wrongly too. It says those who persist in wrongdoing. Look, peoples who persist in wrongdoing cannot attain Allah's guidance. If he gives up wrongdoing, repents and asks forgiveness, and returns, Allah's door is open. Allah has only one door.

There is no other door besides this door. Besides Allah's door there is no other door. Why is there no other door? Because there is no god but Allah. Since there is no god but Allah, we have nowhere to go but Allah. So, since we have nowhere to go but Allah, we are obliged to take refuge at that door, at that door. Yes. That is the one single door.

So peoples who persist in wrongdoing, in wrongdoing, cannot attain Allah's guidance. Yes.
