The misinterpretation

Allah does not forgive that partners are ascribed to Him; He forgives other sins for whomever He wills. Whoever associates partners with Allah has gone astray.

The right translation

Allah does not forgive associating partners to Allah. Those who associate partners with Allah have completely gone astray.

Explanation

This is where the mistake is made: Allah does not forgive associating partners with Him, but forgives other sins for whom He wills. The truth is: Allah does not forgive associating partners with Him, except for those who seek His forgiveness (for their sins). Our Lord, who created human beings mentally incomplete and faulty, forgives His servants who commit mistakes and turn to their Lord and ask for forgiveness from our Lord with the attribute of Tawwab. In the 83rd verse of Surah Al-Waqi'a, Our Lord says: And in the 84th verse when life is in the throat: Then you will stare. And in the 85th verse: At that moment We are closer to him than you, but you cannot see. Our Lord keeps the door of repentance open until the end of life. But those who pass on to the Hereafter without repentance, because they live the trait of their nature, go completely astray in the middle of the straight path, and when they enter Hell on one of the two paths, they pass on to the Hereafter by purchasing the torment of Hell.

What is said in the video

They have ascribed attributes to Allah. Yes.

Verse 116: "Allah does not forgive, to Himself..." "Allah does not forgive those who associate partners with Him," it says. Look. "Allah does not forgive that partners be associated with Him.

Other sins than that He forgives for whom He wills." How

it ascribes attributes to Allah, do you see now? I'll show you a very nice example here. Was Abraham's father an idol-worshipper? And Abraham was his son. Though Abraham did not worship idols, he was a hanif. Well then, those among this people who became Muslim, who repented and became Muslim, does Allah not forgive them? Now what does it say? "Allah does not forgive that partners be associated with Him; other sins than that He forgives for whom He wills." For whom He wills. "Whoever associates partners with Allah has gone utterly astray," it says. Whereas the correct version of this, look now, what do we say? "Allah does not forgive that partners be associated with Him,

except those among them who, because of their sins, ask for His pardon." What does it say here? Allah does not forgive that partners be associated with Him. Other sins than that He forgives for whom He wills. Other than that. And that, for whom He wills. So what do we understand here? From here: Allah does not forgive that partners be associated with Him. Other sins than that He forgives for whom He wills. Then the person realised that he was an idol-worshipper. He realised that there is Allah. He turned back. No forgiveness. Other than that He does not forgive, it says. Other than that He forgives.

"Whoever associates partners with Allah has gone utterly astray." Whereas what do we say here? Allah does not forgive that partners be associated with Him. Right. "Except those among them who, because of their sins" - he understood: I am an idol-worshipper, I am a sinner. There is a God who created the worlds, there is Allah. He turned back. "Except those who ask for His pardon."

"Whoever has associated partners with Allah has gone utterly astray." Whoever has associated partners with Allah. Yes.
