Ali 'Imran 152: When you were killing your enemies with the permission of Allah, the promise of Allah to you is fulfilled. Finally, a moment came when you have shown weakness after Allah had shown to you what you had desired (victory). You argued about the order (that the Prophet gave) and became rebellious. There were some among you who wanted the world and some who wanted the hereafter. After this, Allah prevented you (from defeating them) to make you witnesses to yourselves and truly, Allah forgave you. Allah is very forgiving towards the mu’min.

The misinterpretation
While you were killing your enemies with Allah's permission, Allah fulfilled his promise to you. Finally, the moment came when you fell weak after Allah showed you what you desired (victory). You tried to argue about the command (given by the Prophet) and you rebelled. There were those who wanted the world, and there were those who wanted the hereafter. Then Allah prevented you from them (from defeating them) to test you. And he forgave you. Indeed, Allah is very gracious to believers.
The right translation
When you were killing your enemies with the permission of Allah, the promise of Allah to you is fulfilled. Finally, a moment came when you have shown weakness after Allah had shown to you what you had desired (victory). You argued about the order (that the Prophet gave) and became rebellious. There were some among you who wanted the world and some who wanted the hereafter. After this, Allah prevented you (from defeating them) to make you witnesses to yourselves and truly, Allah forgave you. Allah is very forgiving towards the mu’min.
Explanation
This is the wrong opening in the verse: Then Allah withheld you from them (from defeating them) in order to test you. The correct version is: Then Allah prevented you (from defeating them) so that He might witness for yourselves what kind of people you are.
Allah (swt) created these worlds, every living being and every creation is programmed until the Day of Judgment. In this case, our Lord does not need to test anyone. According to the verse in which our Lord says, "There is not a single creature that will come until the Day of Resurrection that we do not know what it will do", they have not refrained from characterizing our Lord with incomplete and erroneous verses such as "Our Lord has tested people" or "It is hoped that Allah will forgive you". By contradicting verses with verses, they have led themselves and people into dead ends with their superstitions.

Next, verse 152. Let's see what mistakes they made here too. Allah Almighty is free of deficient attributes. No one can attribute any deficiency to Allah Almighty. Each of His words, each of His letters confirms the others. While you were killing your enemies by Allah's permission, Allah fulfilled His promise to you. Now I'm reading the verse that is wrong. Sorry. There is no wrong verse. I'm reading the verse that was rendered wrongly. Saying "wrong verse" — God forbid, Allah protect us. Allah Almighty does not write verses wrongly. Its guardian is Allah Almighty. Not a single letter of it is altered or damaged.
Yes. Allah fulfilled His promise to you. Finally a moment came when, after Allah had shown you what you longed for, victory, you weakened. You began to dispute about the order the Prophet gave, and you disobeyed. Some of you wanted this world. Some of you wanted the hereafter. Then, to test you, Allah held you back from them, from defeating them, it says. Now Allah Almighty — look, here, how does one word ascribe an attribute to Allah Almighty? What does it say here? "To test you," it says, look. Whereas Allah Almighty made a covenant with us. Where? In the realm of Lahut, when He created us. He made a covenant with us at the address of Elestü bi Rabbiküm.
Our wish and desire there, our will, became our destiny. And the verse where He says there is not a single living being to come until the Day of Judgment of whom We don't know what he will do — the meaning "let Us test you" runs counter to it. It's understood here now, I suppose. And by oath, He forgave you. Indeed Allah is most gracious to the believers, it says. Now we're reading the correct one. Let's see, is the correct one the same place? While you were killing your enemies by Allah's permission, Allah fulfilled His promise to you. Finally such a moment came that, after Allah showed you what you desired, the victory, you weakened, you began to dispute about the order the Prophet gave, and you disobeyed.
Some of you wanted this world, some of you wanted the hereafter. Then, so that Allah might make you witnesses to yourselves of what kind of people you are, so that you would be witnesses to yourselves of what kind of people you are — Hodja, in case you're making this up — in case I'm making this up, there is this verse. Did you think you would die without proving what kind of person you are, it says. Look, the verses are beautiful. We will prove in this world what kind of person we are. So Allah Almighty knows what we are. In Surah Taha, verse 134 as well. If We had destroyed them with a punishment.
they would have said this, it says. "Had you sent us prophets with books" — if you were not going to fall into this lowly (?), He says, this unseen world, this world for you I would not have created. Yes, that's what it means; the end is my explanation. I would not have sent you to this world. You — free of deficient attributes — so that Allah would manifest His attribute of being God, He created these worlds. Yes, no one can attribute a deficient word to Him. Then, to make you witnesses to yourselves of what kind of people you are, Allah held you back from defeating them, and by oath He forgave you.
Indeed Allah is most gracious to the believers. Surah Al-Fajr, 27 to 30, the verses between them — what does Allah Almighty say?
For the believers — I couldn't remember its, er, thing just now.
Allah pleased with you and you pleased with Allah: "O soul at peace, O soul at peace, your Lord with you, you with your Lord, well pleased, enter among My servants, enter His paradise" — these are the believers He speaks of. Because Allah is speaking of the believers here. Most Forgiving, it says. Because the believer is a person whose nafs has risen to tranquility, who has come to know the manifestations of Allah Almighty — the believer. A Muslim who, by struggling with his nafs, has attained the quality of believer. Yes. Now in this case, what does Allah Almighty say? It says for Islam (?). It doesn't say it for Islam.
Look, He held you back from defeating them, and by oath He forgave you. Indeed Allah is most gracious to the believers, it says. Why? Allah Almighty — it would say "most gracious to Islam", but here it says ala al-mu'minin.
Allah is most gracious to the believers. Because he has become aware of the divine manifestations. And since He did not create people free of error, there may be some moments of despair in this case. But he very quickly pulls himself together before Allah Almighty and carries on his way again. Again
