Al-A'raf 144: (Allah) said; “Oh Moses! With that which I have sent you with (the duties I have given to you), and with My words, I have made you exalted above people. Take what I am giving to you and be among those who are grateful.”

The misinterpretation

(Allah) O Moses! He said, I have chosen you as the head of my people with my messages (with the duties I have given you) and my words. Take what I have given you and be among the grateful.

The right translation

(Allah) said; “Oh Moses! With that which I have sent you with (the duties I have given to you), and with My words, I have made you exalted above people. Take what I am giving to you and be among those who are grateful.”

Explanation

The wrong opening in this verse is this: "I have chosen you over your people." The correct one is: "I have chosen you over the people (of the time)." Allah (swt) sent the Prophet (s.a.w.) as a mercy to the worlds. The whole world of humanity was created from the spirit of the Holy Prophet (SAW). In this case, if Allah (swt) had chosen Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) as the head of mankind, would it not be contrary to the following verse? Surah Al-Nisa, Verse 41- "What will become of them when We bring a witness from each nation and show you to them as a witness!" When people open the Verses, they do not open the Verses fearing Allah (swt)! They open the Verses by perverting them according to their own beliefs and ideologies. Hazrat Musa is a Prophet. Our Lord sent Hazrat Moses (peace be upon him) as a Prophet to the people of the time.

What is said in the video

In Surah Al-A'raf, verse 167, verse 144, a verse that was interpreted wrongly. I am reading it to you. Allah said: O Moses, with My messages, the duties I gave you, and with My words I have chosen you above the people; take what I have given you and be among the grateful, it says. Whereas it is: Allah said, O Moses, I have, with My messages, the duties I gave you, and My words, selected you for the people of your time. Now here, what meaning is there here? Will you be able to find the meaning? Look, I am reading it once more. O Moses, He said, with My mercy, My messages, the duties I gave you, these parts are correct, and with My words I have chosen you above the people.

Take what I have given you and be among the grateful, it says. Here the meaning goes very deep, and I will wait here a little.

Will you be able to find the mistake here for me? Let me see. You have been listening to me for so long. It says 'of the time', Hodja. Yes. Metrol (?). For those of the time. Of the time. My book isn't at Metrol's (?) house, is it? You are not saying it by looking at it. Yes, now here Judaism also comes up. That is, Prophet Moses is the prophet of the Jews, right; in fact he is the prophet of all people. But since he came to the Jews, what does it say? 'With (?) words I have chosen you above the people,' when it says that: above the people who will come from our father Adam until the Day of Judgement.

Above the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as well He would then have chosen him. Take what I have given you and be among the grateful. Whereas here: Allah said, O Moses. With My messages, the duties I gave you, and My words, I have selected you for the people of your time. That is, I sent you to them. I sent you as one charged with a duty. Sir. Now here, with the meaning 'I selected you' for the people of your time, and 'I have chosen you above the people', these are different. Now, the Children of Israel... since Allah Almighty, if He did not make it heard (?), will call no one to account, there are, sir, people outside the Children of Israel exist. But they perhaps did not hear of our master Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, at all. Now if He had chosen him above them too, it would contradict this verse: 'We call no one to account from a generation We did not let hear.' Whereas they did not hear this.

Then if He chose him above the people, this time it would mean that they too, just like this, had heard. And Allah Almighty calls no one to account from a generation He did not let hear. Now in this case, His saying 'I selected you' means 'I chose you for that people', that is, 'I sent you, I sent you to that people'; saying that is the same as 'I selected you'. Take what I have given you and be among the grateful. So the words carry many meanings, many meanings, but if they can unfold them, of course.
