The misinterpretation
Among the fearful, two people whom Allah had favored said: Enter them through the door. Once you enter there, you have won the victory. Put your trust in Allah only if you are believers.
The right translation
From those who were afraid, two individuals who attained Allah’s blessings said “enter against them from the door. Once you enter there, you have achieved victory. If you are mu’min, trust only Allah.”
Explanation
This is where this verse also goes wrong: Two of those who feared, on whom Allah favored them, said. The correct version is: Two of the fearful ones, who had received the grace of Allah, said;
In this verse, they have again opened it by attributing shortcomings to our Lord. It is as if our Lord has been gracious to these two people and withheld His grace from others. If our Lord, when He made a covenant with the people at Kalu Bela, wrote the desires and wishes of the people as their destiny without discriminating between any of His servants, then it is as if our Lord does not discriminate between the people and each person plays as an artist in the world the destiny that He has written according to his desires and wishes. Our Lord does not interfere in what people do.

Verse 23, too, is a wrongly rendered verse. 'Of those who feared, from among them, two men on whom Allah had bestowed His favour said: Enter upon them through the gate. Once you have entered it, you have won the victory. If you are believers, put your trust only in Allah,' it says. Whereas: of those who feared, two men who attained Allah's favour said. What does it say here? 'Of those who feared, the man on whom Allah bestowed His favour.' That is, He favoured those two men and did not favour the other people. Here one must observe this mistake, this distinction. What do we say? Of those who feared, who attained Allah's favour, two men said. Because he carries out Allah's command, he attains Allah's favour. Enter upon them through the gate; once you have entered it, you have won the victory.
If you are believers, put your trust only in Allah. Yes.
There are verses rendered very wrongly. That is, they have ascribed attributes to Allah Almighty. The people of the Children of Israel they have made honoured above the worlds in creation. In this case, all of Allah Almighty's, some of His words, by rendering them wrongly here, people they have misled. And how these people, without fearing Allah, these things rendered like this, that I cannot know. They will give account of it to Allah themselves.
