The misinterpretation

When you say, "We heard Allah's blessing to you and we accept it," remember the promise that He made you with it, and fear Allah. Surely, Allah knows what is in the hearts.

The right translation

Remember the blessing Allah has bestowed on you. Listen to Allah’s covenant (Commands) and obey, fear Allah. Surely, Allah knows it all, what is inside the hearts.

Explanation

This is where this verse goes wrong: When you say, 'We have heard and accepted Allah's blessing upon you, remember the promise with which He bound you (to Him). They say. Who made a promise to our Lord and covenanted with Him so that he could go beyond his covenant, even though it was destined for him? Is that possible?

They open verses like this in such a way that the promises made to our Lord, the promises we made to our Lord when we made a covenant with our Lord, because our Lord could not give us the exact characters of our promises, people in the world have gone against their destiny and have reneged on their promises to our Lord.

Also, remember the promise you made and that He bound you with it is completely contrary to the verses. We made a covenant with Allah at Kalu Bela. But it is closed to us humans. We do not know what kind of covenant we made. Our Lord sends us to the unseen realm of the world and we pass on to the hereafter at the end of our lives, bearing witness to ourselves, our surroundings and Allah (swt) as to what kind of person we are.

If we are in a realm of the unseen, if our covenant with our Lord is closed to us, this closed covenant has not been shown to us in the worldly realm, and He says to remember your promise to Him. We do not know what kind of promise we made. If there is one thing we know, it is to prove what kind of a person we are by the actual actions we take according to our desires and wishes during the time we live.

Since people do not know the meanings of the Verses, they have turned the meanings of the Verses into soup and they are sinning by attributing to our Lord words that our Lord did not say by opening the Verses according to their own minds with superstitions.

The correct version of the verse is as follows: Remember the favor of Allah upon you. Listen to Allah's covenant (command) and obey it. Fear Allah. Surely Allah knows the secrets of all hearts.

What is said in the video

Here, the seventh verse has been explained wrongly; this too we read in its wrong version. "When you said, 'Allah's blessing upon you - we heard and accepted it', remember the promise with which He bound you, which you gave Him, and fear Allah. Surely Allah knows what is in the hearts." Whereas here, look what it says: "When you said, 'We heard and accepted Allah's blessing upon you', you with this bind," it says. Whereas what does it say here? "Remember Allah's blessing upon you." There is no such thing here as "Allah's blessing upon you - we heard and accepted it". What do we say? "Remember Allah's blessing upon you. Listen to Allah's covenant, His command." Listen to Allah's command.

What does it say here? "Remember the promise you gave Him and fear Allah." So He will see that promise, and these will break that promise, and people will remember it - he has ascribed attributes to Allah Almighty according to his own mind. Whereas what does it say here? "Remember Allah's blessing upon you." Of course, Allah Almighty created us from nothing, and throughout all of life every kind of sustenance He has spread before us. "Listen to Allah's covenant, that is, His command, and obey." Yes, what does Allah Almighty say? I sent the Quran as a mercy to the worlds. O people! I have sent a book and a prophet to illuminate your affairs.

Follow this book so that you may attain salvation, it says. Yes. Obey. Fear Allah. Surely Allah knows the secrets of all hearts. He knows their secrets. That's how it is. When explaining the verse, the person here, according to his own covenant, people... "Remember Allah Almighty's covenant in that way." I will give my covenant, and then after my covenant I will give it up or back out. What does it say? "When you said, 'We heard and accepted Allah's blessing upon you'" - and they did say "we accepted". "With which He bound you." That is, what did you do? You said this, but I in turn bound you to what you said.

But among you there are those who rebel. "Remember the promise you gave Him and fear Allah." Now, when people made the covenant with Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty, according to people's covenant, that is, according to their wish, wrote their destinies for them as their wish. He wrote their wish as destiny. In this case no one will step outside his destiny either. So, according to this covenant, we now read the correct version of this verse. "Remember Allah's blessing upon you. Listen to Allah's covenant, His command, and obey. Fear Allah. Surely Allah knows the secrets of all hearts," it says.

The verses - one must explain the verses in such a way that one verse does not contradict another verse.
