The misinterpretation
You will find many of them making friends with the disbelievers. How bad is what their souls have prepared for them beforehand? God was angry with them. And they are everlasting in the torment.
The right translation
You will see that most of them have close friendships with the disbelievers. Wretched is what their evil desires prepare for them (in the hereafter)! Allah will be wrathful towards them (for what they have done). They will remain in torment eternally.
Explanation
This is where it goes wrong: Allah has wrath on them. The truth is: Allah will wrath on them (for what they have done)!
However, the Day of Judgment has not yet broken, people have not yet been resurrected and gathered in the Hereafter, and Allah, the Judge of Judges, has not yet called people to account. The Day of Judgment will come after the people who have come to the world and passed away, who have lived in the world and who will come to the world, have proved what kind of a person they are in the world. When people are resurrected in the Hereafter, the Court-i Kübra will be established, and they will be reckoned before our Lord who is Eleysallahu bi ahkamil hakimin. Then the people of torment will be tormented in Hell. Even then, our Lord did not wrath on mankind, but people wronged their own souls for their crimes.
Allah does not and never has wrath on anyone. Wrath is a punishment that a person will suffer for the crime he has committed in his own soul. Allah (swt) has sent us to this world to prove what kind of people we are in return for our covenant. It is not the wrath of our Lord on people, but the punishment for what they have done in the Hereafter, when the Tribunal-i Kübra will be established in the Hereafter and people will be taken to account there, and then they will be punished in Hell for their sins. Otherwise Allah does not wrath anyone.
What is said in the video
Let us wrap up our lesson. On page 120, Surah Al-Ma'idah, verse 80; this too is a wrongly translated verse. You see many of them befriending those who disbelieve. What their selves have prepared beforehand for them, for their life in the Hereafter, how evil it is. Allah has become angry with them, and they will abide in punishment forever, it says. Now where is the mistake here? Of course, we will explain it now. What does it say here? You see many of them befriending those who disbelieve. Right. "Their selves, for them": it has opened a parenthesis. This part is without error. What they prepared beforehand for their life in the Hereafter is what?
Evil. Right. Allah has become angry with them. And they will abide in punishment forever. Now here it is as if Allah Almighty discriminated among people, marked them, and left them, sir, subjected to a Hellfire from which there is no return. Whereas look how gentle that verse is. You see many of them befriending those who disbelieve. What their selves have prepared beforehand for them, for their life in the Hereafter, how evil it is? Allah, in return for what He made them live, er, in return for what they did, look, Allah will be angry with them in return for what they did. In return for what they did.
Whoever goes beyond Allah's command, whoever in whatever way turns his back on Allah Almighty's verses, and outside Allah's command, the people who continue in wrongdoing, who continue in unbelief, in return for what they do, what do we say? What they prepared beforehand for their life in the Hereafter, how evil it is! Allah will punish them in return for what they did. He will punish them. Yes. They will abide in punishment forever. In return for what they did. Not as it says here, sir: what they prepared beforehand, how evil it is? Allah has become angry with them, it says. Now when it says "has become angry", Allah has set them apart in a world from which there is no longer any return.
Set them apart. Sir, and they have been marked like that, created like that. Allah Almighty by His own will wrote their destinies like that. But that part must be softened like this. What does it say here? Their selves, for them, for the life of the Hereafter. What they prepared beforehand, how evil it is? Allah has become angry with them, it says. In place of this word "has become angry": He will be angry in return for what they did. "Has become angry." It has made it final. "Will be angry." As long as he continues what he does, when it says "has become angry" with them, the world of the Hereafter has not even come about yet.
Sir, and them, with a ruling of no return, directly it dragged them to punishment. But when it says "will be angry", here the word is softened. If he continues; if he turns back, he is an exception. Yes.
