Al-An'am 128: On the day when Allah summons them all and says; “Oh you assembly of jinn! You have bothered humans a lot.” Their friends from among the humans will say; “Oh our Lord! We have benefited from each other and reached the end of the time that You have given to us.” Allah will say; “Except for those who have wished otherwise (from Me), your place of dwelling is eternal fire.” Verily, your Lord is Hakeem (All-Wise) and Aleem (All-knowing).

The misinterpretation

On the day when Allah gathers them all together, O community of jinn (devils)! He says you have dealt with people a lot. And their friends from the people, O our Lord! They say (we) took advantage of each other and reached the end of the time you gave us. Allah also says; Your dwelling place is the eternal fire, except as Allah wills. Undoubtedly, your Lord is Wise, Knowing.

The right translation

On the day when Allah summons them all and says; “Oh you assembly of jinn! You have bothered humans a lot.” Their friends from among the humans will say; “Oh our Lord! We have benefited from each other and reached the end of the time that You have given to us.” Allah will say; “Except for those who have wished otherwise (from Me), your place of dwelling is eternal fire.” Verily, your Lord is Hakeem (All-Wise) and Aleem (All-knowing).

Explanation

This is where this verse goes wrong: Except whom Allah wills. The truth is: Except those who will from Allah. As we always say, there are two wills. The universal will is reserved for our Lord. The limited will is a will given to human beings. When people made a covenant with our Lord in the Elestu bi Rabbikum address, our Lord did not dominate people's wills, but left them free in their own wills and wrote each person's own desire and will as their destiny. People will be rewarded for what they have done with the earnings of their own two hands in the Court-i Kübra, without any injustice.

In verse 281 of Surah Al-Baqarah: Fear and beware of a Day when you will all be brought back to Allah. Then everyone will be fully rewarded for their deeds in this world and they will never be wronged. In this case, they have accused our Lord of discriminating between His servants, saying, "Except those whom our Lord wills". In this case, they have also disregarded the will of the people by removing the covenant they made with our Lord of their own will. In this case, they went so far as to deny verse 172 of Surah al-A'râf.

What is said in the video

Yes. In verse 128, Surah Al-An'am has been rendered wrongly. Let's see where it went wrong here too. "On the day Allah gathers them all together..." This is right, we will all be gathered together. "O company of jinn, of devils, you have busied yourselves greatly with mankind," He says. Right. "And their friends among mankind say: Our Lord, we benefited from one another. We have reached the end of the term You gave us." Right. They tell the truth. "And Allah says: Except what Allah wills." Here it went off track. The person went off track here. Not what Allah wills. "Except the one who wills, your abode is the eternal Fire." Those who go there by their own will.

Not what Allah wills. If it were what Allah willed, He'd throw there, sir, those He is angry with too, or He'd throw those who worship there too. If He willed. He'd throw those He doesn't love there too. Yet Allah has the attribute of justice.

What does it say? "Your abode is the eternal Fire; surely your Lord is Wise, All-Knowing," it says.

This "Wise" goes to a deep meaning. That is, way back, even before making the covenant with people, when He created them, the One who knows what they would do; when He says of them "We know the secrets of your hearts", when He created our spirits, He knows what kind of rebel that spirit is, sir, or what kind of obedient one, and what feelings it has. Because He gave a part of Himself. Of its movements, of all its meaning, of its brain, sir, knowing itself, because the program of all of it is in His hand. He knows what it will do. He has left it free. Those who know and those who don't. Yes. Isn't it the same in the world too?

In the world too, aren't Muslims and disbelievers now (?)?

Yes.

What is correct? Let's read the correct version. On the day Allah gathers them all together: O company of jinn and devils, you have busied yourselves greatly with mankind, He says. All these parts are right anyway. And their friends among mankind say: Our Lord, we benefited from one another, we have reached the end of the term You gave us. And Allah says, now we're correcting this part: Except those who ask of Allah, those who ask, yes, you were with them, but except those who later regretted it and returned to the truth. "Except those who ask, your abode is the eternal Fire." That is, you can't say: this one was with me too, he was with the jinn.

But he repented and turned back. So, you will continue. "Surely your Lord is Wise, All-Knowing." So this wisdom is the wisdom that knew, at the first creation, while the spirits were still in the divine realm, what they are. Yes.
