Al-An'am 144: And (Allah has created) two from camel and two from cow. Say; “Did Allah forbid the males or the ones in the wombs of the females? Or did you witness Allah ordering you as such?” Who is a greater oppressor than the one who fabricates lies against Allah to lead people astray ignorantly? Verily, nations that continue with oppression cannot enter the right path of Allah.

The misinterpretation

(He created) two from camels and two from cattle. Say; Did he forbid their male or the offspring in the wombs of these two females? Or have you witnessed that Allah has willed you like this? Who is more unjust than he who invents a lie against Allah to mislead people without knowledge? Surely, Allah does not guide those wrongdoers to the straight path.

The right translation

And (Allah has created) two from camel and two from cow. Say; “Did Allah forbid the males or the ones in the wombs of the females? Or did you witness Allah ordering you as such?” Who is a greater oppressor than the one who fabricates lies against Allah to lead people astray ignorantly? Verily, nations that continue with oppression cannot enter the right path of Allah.

Explanation

The wrong opening in this verse is this: "Surely Allah will not guide the wrongdoing people." Correctly: "Verily, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people." Our Lord made a covenant with people at Kalu Bela. He wrote their desires and wishes as their destiny. After that, Our Lord does not interfere in what people do and makes them witness themselves by their actual actions within their destiny. Allah (swt), Who sent us into the world, makes people witness themselves to the world around them and to Allah (swt) through their deeds and passes them on to the Hereafter. In this case, our Lord neither guides anyone to the right path nor leads anyone astray. Since every human being will be held accountable for the deeds he has done of his own volition, no human being can accuse our Lord of discrimination among His servants. Also, our Lord's forgiveness cannot take away His forgiveness. Our Lord has created us mentally incomplete. When we make mistakes, knowingly or unknowingly, we are subject to our Lord's forgiveness when we ask for forgiveness from our Lord for our mistake.

Why did our Lord create us mentally deficient and desire us to commit mistakes? We were created as a partial of our Lord, and He created our intellect incomplete so that when people make mistakes or commit sins, we can take refuge in the greatness of our Lord and seek forgiveness from Him. In this case, people are subject to our Lord's forgiveness because it is in accordance with the purpose of our Lord's creation. Because our Lord, the owner of the worlds and the greatest of the great, the One who created us out of nothing, has created us deficient in intellect so that we may respect and love our Lord and seek refuge in Him, knowing Him to be great. In this case, His forgiveness, mercy and compassion exceed His wrath. Our Lord says in one of His verses. In Surah Hijr, Verse 49: He says: "Inform My servants that I am forgiving and merciful."

What is said in the video

Surah Al-An'am, we have come to verse 144.

"Of camels two, and of cattle two, He created." That is, He created them in pairs. Why? So that My servants eat from cattle too, drink its milk too, eat the camel's meat too, ride (?) it, go places, eat, benefit from its meat, its milk. Those in the deserts from the camel, those in the cities from its meat. Do you understand? Allah loves His servants.

"Has He forbidden the males of these, or the young in the wombs of the two females?" it says. What does it say? "Has He forbidden the males of these, or the young in the wombs of the two females?"

The idol-worshippers would take the young in their bellies and eat them, and not let their wives eat them. They'd say: it is forbidden to you. They'd eat it themselves. Yes. "Or were you witnesses when Allah enjoined this on you? Who is more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allah to lead people astray without knowledge? Surely Allah does not guide that people of wrongdoers to the right path," it says. They've rendered all the endings wrongly. They've always backed each other up anyway. Had they rendered this wrongly too, the words would contradict each other this time.

"Of camels two, and of cattle two, He created." Well, has He forbidden the males of these? Or the young in the wombs of the two females? Or were you witnesses when Allah enjoined this on you? Who is more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allah to lead people astray without knowledge? Surely peoples who persist in wrongdoing do not come to Allah's right path. Yes.
