Al-A'raf 156: “Write goodness for us in this world and in the hereafter. Verily, we have returned to You.” Allah said; “For those who desire calamity (from Me), I will inflict calamity upon them. My mercy however encompasses everything. I will write it for those who abstain, who pay obligatory alms and who believe in Our verses.”

The misinterpretation
Write us good in this world and in the hereafter. Surely we have returned to you. Allah said: Whoever I wish, I punish him. My mercy encompasses everything. I will write it down for those who are pious, those who give alms, and those who believe in Our Verses.
The right translation
“Write goodness for us in this world and in the hereafter. Verily, we have returned to You.” Allah said; “For those who desire calamity (from Me), I will inflict calamity upon them. My mercy however encompasses everything. I will write it for those who abstain, who pay obligatory alms and who believe in Our verses.”
Explanation
The wrong opening in this verse is this: "Whomsoever I will, I will torment him." The correct one is: "Whoever asks (me) for misfortune, I will torment him."
Do people wish for calamity? They do. How do they wish? Our Lord sent people into the world to witness what kind of people they are. In this case, if people do not listen to the orders of our Lord, wander around the world irresponsibly, do not recognize decency, manners, laws, enjoy themselves, violate the rights and laws of others, and go too far in oppression, our Lord gives them calamities to make them wise. Our Lord says in the verse. We sometimes test you with your wealth and sometimes with your lives. There are many other similar verses. Therefore, people pass through these tests and prove what kind of a person they are and then they pass on to the Hereafter. If people living in the worldly world do not listen to the orders of our Lord, they will certainly wish for the torment of Hell. The truth of the verse is as we have explained above: Whoever asks (me) for a calamity, I will torment him.
What is said in the video
they said. Yes.
Verse 156, Surah Al-A'raf. Yes. Write good for us in this world and in the hereafter too; indeed we have turned to You. What a beautiful prayer this is. Yes.
Allah said that whom I will, I afflict with punishment. Now if it is left to Allah Almighty's will, pray here as much as you like. I do not accept your prayer. I do not love you. I created you like that, but I will drag you to Hell. I repent, I seek Allah's forgiveness. Write good for us in this world too. And in the hereafter; indeed we have turned to You. Allah said: whom I will, I afflict with punishment. My mercy encompasses everything. He willed. This time His mercy encompassed them all. Sir, when You will, You will drag them to punishment, right? Then how do You encompass them all with mercy?
Look how opposite the words are to each other. If My mercy, or My word, reaches the people here, if they hear it, sir, these are the saved, that is, those who hear My word and obey it are the saved. On the other side, all of them I destroyed. I repent, I seek Allah's forgiveness. Allah said: whom I will, I afflict with punishment. My mercy encompasses everything; I will write it for those who are mindful, who give zakat, and who believe in Our verses, it says. Correct. Yes. But here, let us correct the wording. Write good for us in this world and in the hereafter too; indeed we have turned to You.
Allah said: whoever wishes calamity from Me, I make him suffer punishment. Whoever wishes it is defying Allah. Sir, he goes outside what Allah has said. I make him suffer punishment. My mercy encompasses everything. I will write it for those who are mindful, who give zakat, and who believe in Our verses, it says.
