The misinterpretation

However, Hell will (guide) them on their way so that they will stay there forever. This is very easy for Allah.

The right translation

That path is the path to the hell. They will remain there eternally. This is an easy matter for Allah.

Explanation

This is the wrong place in this verse: Hell will guide them on their way. The truth is: That way is the way to hell.

In the verse that has been misinterpreted, there is no life and soul in hell, so that it can lead the disbeliever to its path. Those who disbelieve in our Lord, by their own nature, are on their way to hell. Those who go to the Hereafter as disbelievers throw themselves face down on the ground to avoid entering Hell. Our Lord calls the angels of the demons. The demons take these disbelievers by the scruff of the neck and throw them through a narrow gate of Hell. This is easy for our Lord.

What is said in the video

We explained verse 8 to you; we have come to verse 169. "Only, to remain there forever, Hell will lead them to its way," it says. Hell will lead them to its way. "And that is very easy for Allah," it says. Now what is happening? Hell will lead that person to its way. Hell has no life, no soul. The person is led to the way of Hell, he goes. There's no leading either. "And that is very easy for Allah," it says. So this time he blames Allah Almighty like this. He says, Allah will lead them to the way of Hell. Oh, the verses have been explained so wrongly. What do we say? "That way is the way of Hell." That is, what that non-Muslim did, the way he went, is the way of Hell.

What was it saying anyway? "Only, to remain there forever, Hell will lead them to its way," it says. Look. Whereas the meaning here is: that way is the way of Hell. They will remain there forever. This, it is said, is very easy for Allah. For them to remain forever. How will it be easy? They, He says, will throw themselves face down on the ground so as not to enter Hell. And We will call the keepers of Hell. We will have them thrown in through a cage of Hell. Now this is easy for Allah. Allah has made provision for everything. If He runs these worlds, the seven heavens, and with this knowledge this universe, without them touching one another, without colliding, in order and harmony, and if He also has the power to create from nothing, then for Allah Almighty, who holds everything under His rule, everything is easy.

Yes.
