The misinterpretation

Those who deny Our verses are some deaf and dumb people who have remained in the darkness of ignorance and disbelief. Allah misleads whomever He wills, and guides whomsoever He wishes to the straight path.

The right translation

Those who deny Our verses are the deaf and dumb ones, who have stayed in the darkness (of ignorance and denial). Those who desire from Allah to go astray are on the wrong path, those who desire guidance are on the path of guidance.

Explanation

This is where this verse goes wrong: Allah misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills. Our Lord does not mislead anyone and guides whom He wills. By misinterpreting the verses and accusing our Lord of injustice, discriminating between people and disliking many of His creations, misleading them and leading them to disbelief, they undermine the infallible justice of our Lord between people and in the universe. Our Lord sent the Holy Qur'an as a mercy to the worlds. He sheds light in front of people with the Holy Quran. Our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who came as a mercy to the worlds, also invites all people to Islam. But if people themselves, of their own free will, leave Islam and refuse to accept Islam, did our Lord confuse them and create such servants as disbelievers, destined for eternal hell?

Is this injustice worthy of the glory of our Lord, who created these worlds out of nothing and who is the absolute owner and judge of His creations? The truth of the verse is: He who wills of Allah is on the path of error, and he who wills of Allah is on the right path. As we always say, there are two wills. 1- Universal Will 2- Limited Will.

The omnipotent will is our Lord. He creates what He wills in its proper place and with justice. And the human beings have the limited will. Because our Lord has given a part of His soul to human beings. Whatever people ask of our Lord, our Lord has written their wishes as destiny for them.

In this case, those who look for deficiencies in the justice of our Lord become people who oppress their own souls by raising the flag of rebellion against the owner of the worlds with their own free will. People who knew a little Arabic, who knew a little Arabic, became scholars and turned Islam into superstition by opening the verses according to their own minds.

What is said in the video

Surah Al-An'am, verse 39, I'm reading the wrongly translated one. Those who deny Our verses are some deaf people left in the darkness of ignorance and disbelief and mute. These parts are right, there's nothing here. Allah leads astray whom He wills. Do you see how He discriminates among His servants? Yes, He will lead astray whom He wills. Well, if Allah will lead astray whomever He wills, and if Allah Almighty does not contradict one of His words with another, does not belie it, since there is no god but Allah, and since all people are Allah's servants, according to the verse that says only disbelievers lose hope in Allah, does what He says hold together or not?

Because He willed, whomever He willed. Well, if there's no door to enter but Yours, if there's no door to enter other than Allah, if there's no sin Allah Almighty won't forgive, then what are you saying here? Allah leads astray whom He wills.

Then however much I come to Your door, if You've led me astray, may Allah's safety be upon me. And You're not going to set me straight again either. You see the mistakes here. And He guides whom He wills to the right path. So according to this verse, the hodjas say the Quran came only for Islam. It came to the Muslims, they say. This is a hodja, mind you. I heard it with my own ears. Yes. I have no choice left but to say: may Allah reform them.

Now we're reading the correct one for it. Those who deny Our verses are some deaf and mute people left in the darkness of ignorance and disbelief. Quite so. Those who deny Our verses are some deaf and mute people left in the darkness of ignorance and disbelief. Whoever wishes stays on misguidance, and whoever wishes on the right path, we say. Look, whoever wishes stays on misguidance, and whoever wishes on the right path. Allah does not lead astray whom He wills, nor guide whom He wills. If He guided whom He willed and led astray whom He willed, If We had destroyed them before the Quran if We had destroyed them with a punishment, they would have said this, it says If only You had sent us prophets and books, this base disgrace we would not have fallen into; if they weren't going to say that, these worlds create these worlds and send you to this world, to an unseen world, it says. Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty is free from deficient attributes. At our 'Am I not your Lord?' address, to Allah Almighty what kind of covenant we gave, our Lord knows. So 'We... you before the Quran': the people He means, before sending them to the world, first when We made a covenant with you: you are for Hell, and you are for Paradise, off you go, He would have said.

He didn't do that. What did He do? Because He is free from deficient attributes, us We brought into the world, and He wanted us to know our Lord in an unseen world. Well, it says 'deficient attribute, deficient attribute', but what is the meaning of the deficient attribute here? What is the meaning of the deficient attribute in this verse? Who will tell?

You all know it, but you can't put it into words. The meaning of the deficient attribute here: when Allah Almighty said 'Am I not your Lord?', 'your Lord', because He created man, to whom He gave a part of His spirit, as a likeness of His essence, since man saw his Lord as being like himself, unable to believe in Allah, he waited for the Lord of his imagination. So, He says, you saw Me as like yourselves, you may not have believed in Me. Now, He says, I will send you to an unseen world where My essence is not seen. I will also send you prophets and books. There again you will do the same thing, He says.

Because this is in your nature. And I, without frightening you in any way, without using force, without pressure, wrote your own intent, your wishes and desires, as your scenario. And as destiny I inscribed you with characters, He says. Your own wishes and desires. Otherwise, there is neither Allah's willing over it, nor does Allah Almighty put whom He wills into Paradise and whom He wills into Hell. Whoever wishes goes to Paradise, and whoever wishes to Hell. If he denies Allah, who created the worlds and is the Owner of these worlds, and chases after his own selfish feelings and doesn't want to see the truth, if he follows his nafs, and like an ox or animal the yoke made to be put on his neck, like an ox or an animal pulled behind he follows the devil, then of course he will not believe in Allah.

Or he won't want to believe. Yes.
