An-Nisa 155: Because they broke their covenant and due to their denial of Allah’s verses, due to their unjust killing of Prophets and their saying; “Our hearts are veiled.” To the contrary, they wanted from Allah to seal their hearts (by their covenant with Allah). (We have cursed them) Because of their denial, they suffered great calamities. Except for a few (who made a faithful covenant with Allah), they will not believe.

The misinterpretation
Because they broke their promises, denied the verses of Allah, killed the Prophets unjustly, and said that our hearts were covered (we cursed them, we gave them all kinds of troubles, their hearts are not covered. On the contrary, Allah has sealed those hearts because of their unbelief). they do not believe.
The right translation
Because they broke their covenant and due to their denial of Allah’s verses, due to their unjust killing of Prophets and their saying; “Our hearts are veiled.” To the contrary, they wanted from Allah to seal their hearts (by their covenant with Allah). (We have cursed them) Because of their denial, they suffered great calamities. Except for a few (who made a faithful covenant with Allah), they will not believe.
Explanation
Here, as in the previous Verse, they have opened the Verse wrongly. The wrong opening: It is the place where they go back on their word.
They have opened the verses in such a way and distorted them in such a way that they have made Allah (swt) into a human mind, so that the promises that our Lord has taken from human beings could not write their destiny according to the desires and wishes of human beings, and human beings have changed the destinies that our Lord has written in the life of the world, going beyond the program of Allah (swt) and not recognizing their promises in the worldly realm.
Just as our Lord addresses people through His Prophets and sends them books, people are free to follow their Prophets or not, and they are also free to protect the books sent by our Lord or not. Allah (swt) is always addressing people through His books, His Prophets and His scholars. If our Lord has taken a firm promise from the people here and they have not kept that firm promise, does it not mean that our Lord has failed to bind the destiny of the people firmly?
Can our Lord take a word from people and people go beyond what our Lord says? This is where people have distorted the Verses.
If, in return for the promise that our Lord has taken from human beings, human beings do not listen to the promise that they have given to our Lord in the worldly realm and change their promises in their own way, does not Allah (swt), who has taken the promises of human beings as a trust, fail to take care of the trust and betray the trust?
However, whatever desires and wishes each person made to our Lord in Kalu Bela while living in the world, their desires and wishes have become their destiny. No creature can go beyond its destiny.
What is said in the video
Page 102, verse 155: "Because of their going back on their promises, their denying Allah's verses, their killing the prophets unjustly, and their saying 'Our hearts are wrapped', We cursed them."
They had their hearts wrapped themselves. Hatemallahu ala kulubihim. They had Allah seal their hearts. Allah did not seal anyone's heart by His own will. They, it says: Hatemallahu ala kulubihim ve ala sem'ihim ve ala ebsarihim gışavetün ve lehüm azabün azim. They had a veil drawn over their eyes - against what? Against seeing the truth. "I deny you," he says, "I am waiting for the Lord of my imagination, you are not my Lord," he says. They don't want to hear the truth with their ears, they have blocked them. In this case they had their hearts sealed too. Now here, when a judge gives a punishment to someone who committed a crime and sends him to prison, did the judge send him to prison, or did the offender go to prison in return for his crime?
In this case Allah Almighty too, when He made the covenant with those people, wrote their desires and wishes for them as their destiny. So the wrapping of your heart - your asking for it from Allah Almighty within your own will - what was this? Yes. It's not that Allah locked your heart by His own will. He did not wrap it. Yes. What do we say? We're reading the wrong version now anyway. "Because of their going back on their promises, their denying Allah's verses, their unjustly killing the prophets, with prophets, and their saying 'Our hearts are wrapped', We cursed them. We inflicted various calamities. Their hearts are not wrapped.
On the contrary, because of their unbelief Allah has set a seal on those hearts.
And nice. Except a few, they will no longer believe." Now we explain it like this. Their giving a covenant by denying Allah - not their going back on their promises; look, no one can go back on their promises. If he gave his covenant, no one can turn it. "With Us there is a book, and afterwards neither an addition nor a reduction is made, it says. These worlds, according to the covenant all people gave, are programmed. Yes. Allah "Because of their denying Allah's verses, unjustly killing the prophets and saying 'Our hearts are wrapped', We cursed them. So they met with various calamities. Their hearts are not wrapped.
On the contrary, because of their unbelief they had Allah set a seal on their hearts.
Except a very few among them who gave a good covenant, they will no longer believe." Yes. Right at the start there is an error. What does it say? "Their going back on their promises." No one can go back on his word. Their turning from the covenant by denying Allah. Yes, that is, by their not recognising Allah.
