Al-Ma'idah 14: We have also made a covenant with those who say; “We are Christians” and told them, but they have abandoned an important part of the Dhikr (Book) that was given to them. For this reason, there is animosity and hatred among them until the Day of Judgment. Soon, Allah will inform them about what they have done.

The misinterpretation

We took their firm word from those who say we are Christians, but they have forgotten an important part of the advice given to them (or the Book). For this reason, We have spread enmity and hatred among them until the Day of Judgment. Soon Allah will inform them of what they did.

The right translation

We have also made a covenant with those who say; “We are Christians” and told them, but they have abandoned an important part of the Dhikr (Book) that was given to them. For this reason, there is animosity and hatred among them until the Day of Judgment. Soon, Allah will inform them about what they have done.

Explanation

They have always made mistakes in the same places in the verses and they have explained the verses wrongly. They should say, "We made a covenant" instead of "We took their word". It means we have taken their promises: Our Lord has not been able to bind the destinies of the people in their wishes and they have reneged on their promises. When they open the verse, they write that they broke their promises in this understanding. Covenant means: In the desires and wishes of people, they are left free in their own will, they ask our Lord for good and evil, and our Lord is the one who gives them exactly what they desire and wish without interfering with their wishes. They have forgotten part of the dhikr, the Book, which was given to them in proportion to their covenant. In this case, they have created enmity among themselves until the Day of Resurrection.

Otherwise, Allah (swt) does not put a grudge in the heart of any human being, nor does He drive them away from Him. However, in return for the covenants that people make, that is, their wishes, our Lord writes the destiny of people and sends them and people to the world realm, which is called the unseen realm. After people prove what kind of a person they are in the world in return for the promises they make in the hereafter, they are sent to either paradise or hell, the place of torment, in the hereafter, in the presence of our Lord in the Court-i Kübra, in return for what they have done.

What is said in the video

Al-Ma'idah, the Surah's fourteenth verse has also been opened wrongly. We say: from those who say we are Christians too We had taken firm pledges, but they too forgot a large part of the admonitions mentioned, given to them, or of the book. For this reason, until the Day of Judgement, among them, between them We cast enmity and hatred, it says. Look, look. To Allah Almighty they'd say: if You did this to us, what are we to do? If You cast hatred, if You cast enmity, we are just carrying out Your command. What is our fault, a person would say, wouldn't he? Soon Allah will inform them of what they did, it says.

Allah Almighty will both cast hatred and enmity into their hearts and inform them of what they did. Whereas: We also made a covenant with those who say 'We are Christians,' it says. There is no person He did not make a covenant with. We made a covenant with those who would come from the offspring of Adam, it says. Whether Christian, or idolater, or, let me say, Muslim. He made a covenant with all people. He wrote their wishes and desires, their aims, for them as their destiny. We also made a covenant with those who say 'We are Christians.' We told them too. But they too, of the remembrance given to them, that is, the book, a large part they abandoned.

For this reason there is enmity and hatred among them until the Day of Judgement, it says. These are among themselves. Among themselves, against one another. Allah Almighty did not put hatred and enmity into their hearts. They are in this hostility toward themselves, toward one another. Soon Allah will inform them of what they did, it says. Yes.
