The misinterpretation

And (thus) Allah wants to clear believers of their sins and destroy disbelievers.

The right translation

And this way, Allah purifies from their sins those who believe and punishes those who disbelieve (because of their oppression).

Explanation

This verse is completely misinterpreted. They have prejudiced Allah's attribute of justice. When our Lord made a covenant with human beings in the 172nd verse of Sûra A'râf, He wrote each person's own desire and will as his destiny. People will be held accountable before our Lord in the Court-i Kübra for their actual deeds in order to prove what kind of a person they are in the world. Those who believe, those who do good deeds, those who do what the Owner of the worlds says, will surely be rewarded. Again, those who disobey the command of our Lord, the Owner of the worlds, and wander and disbelieve in our Lord will be punished for their crimes.

Otherwise, Allah wants to clear the believers of their sins and destroy the disbelievers. This is correct: Allah vindicates those who believe from their sins (those who repent), and the disbelievers will be punished in full (for their wrongdoing).

They have always emphasized the following point while explaining the verses; Allah discriminates between His servants. With words such as "He wants to destroy the infidels" and "He wants to exonerate the Muslims", they have both humbled our Lord with such vulgar words and wanted to cause injustice by dividing His servants into two among His creations.

The justice of our Lord: He made a covenant with human beings at Kalu Bela and wrote their desires and wishes as their destiny. In this case, since our Lord knows what every human being will do until the Day of Resurrection, He has sent people to the world to make them witness to themselves and to Allah (swt) what kind of people they are. In the 134th verse of Surah Taha, our Lord says

134- If We had destroyed them with a torment before this (the Qur'an), they would surely have said: "O Lord! If You had sent us a messenger, we would have followed Your Verses before we fell into this humiliation and disgrace.

We have explained the meaning of this verse. If we touch upon its meaning a little bit here as well. When our Lord said I am your Lord in the realm of Lahut with human beings, He appeared to human beings exactly in human form. Because He gave human beings a part of His soul. Because people saw our Lord, the creator of the worlds, as themselves, they could not believe in our Lord, and they denied our Lord by imagining a Lord that did not exist in their own imagination. The meaning of the 134th verse of Surah Taha is that our Lord said before the Qur'an that before people came into the world, in the address Elestu bi Rabbikum, when Allah (swt) made a covenant with people, He knew what their character was. If He had sent them to hell because of their disbelief, Allah's attribute of being Allah would have been compromised. In other words, our Lord sent people to the worldly realm so that the disbelievers would not say, "If you had sent me to a realm where your Essence is invisible, I would have worshipped you there". Here we are in a realm that our Lord calls the unseen.

Allah's attribute of being Allah will not be able to say in the presence of Allah (swt) that people should have done this or that because of their actions. No matter what they will ask, they will have committed a crime in the worldly realm in return for the question they will ask and they will be cut off from the question. Allah will bring forth His justice in full, without partiality between Muslims and non-Muslims.

What is said in the video

Surah Al Imran, page 67, verse 141: a mistake in the verse. And also, Allah wants to cleanse those who believe of their sins and to destroy the disbelievers. He created the disbelievers as disbelievers, and those who believe He created believing. And also, Allah wants to cleanse those who believe of their sins and to destroy the disbelievers, it says. Wants to destroy. And so, look, I'm reading the correct one. Allah cleanses those who believe of their sins. Cleanses them. What does it say here? Allah to cleanse those who believe of their sins. Whereas: He cleanses. He cleanses them of their sins.

That is, the person, my dear, has repented. He cleanses him. And the disbelievers, because of the wrongs they did, are rightfully punished. Because of what they did, they are rightfully punished. Not "wants to destroy". A rightful punishment. Yes.
