Al-A'raf 179: Vow to that; We have created the hell for many from the jinn and mankind. They have hearts but they do not reason with them, they have eyes, but they do not see with them, they have ears, but they do not hear with them. They are like the animals; they are even more misguided. They are the ones who are truly unaware.

The misinterpretation
We have certainly created many jinn and humans for Hell. They have hearts, they do not understand with them, they have eyes, they do not see with them, they have ears, they do not hear with them. Here they are like animals; they are even more confused as they go. Those are the real heedless.
The right translation
Vow to that; We have created the hell for many from the jinn and mankind. They have hearts but they do not reason with them, they have eyes, but they do not see with them, they have ears, but they do not hear with them. They are like the animals; they are even more misguided. They are the ones who are truly unaware.
Explanation
This is where this verse also goes wrong: "Surely We have created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell." The correct one is: "And certainly We have created Hell for the jinn and most of mankind."
In this verse too, they have accused our Lord of cruelty at the wrong opening. Will our Lord take pleasure in creating man and jinn for hell and tormenting them there? Our Lord's mercy encompasses the universe. Our Lord also says: "My mercy has exceeded My wrath." According to these verses, how can they make our Lord take revenge on people by making them conform to their own minds and liken them to people's egoistic feelings, making our Lord take revenge on people, making people whom He does not want go astray, and guiding people whom He does not want. According to their own minds, in their own arbitrary opinions, they make what our Lord wants to be chosen from among the people and present it as a privilege above the people. This is how they open many places in the Qur'anic verses that have been opened incorrectly, and thus they attribute our Lord and turn religion into superstition. Our Lord does not discriminate between His servants. According to the degree of faith that each person has in our Lord according to his or her own will, our Lord judges with justice between people.
What is said in the video
take it. 'Indeed We have created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell,' it says. Look, look, look, look, look. 'And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind.' What does it say? 'Indeed We have created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell.' Well, can Allah be like this? He will create the jinn and humans He created for Hell, and after burning them sit across from them and watch. Can Allah be so cruel? They have hearts; they do not understand with them. They have eyes; they do not see with them. They have ears; they do not hear with them. They are like cattle. Even more bewildered in their course (?).
They are the truly heedless, it says. Here too, this time, on the one hand, like this, man, the jinn and mankind, for Hell He creates; on the other hand, about them as they are, 'they are like this and like that', 'they are heedless', it says. Whereas: 'By oath, We (created) Hell'; here: 'By oath, We (created) the jinn and mankind', not that. Pay attention. By oath, We created Hell for many of the jinn and mankind. Hell, which He created for many of mankind and the jinn. Why? This world is a shadow, a likeness of the hereafter. Now here, when a person commits a crime, where will he go? He will appear before the judge.
And what will the judge do with him? In return for his crime he will send him to prison. Now here, let the prison be Hell. And let the judge be Allah Almighty. A person committed a crime. He appeared before the judge, and the judge, sir, to prison sent him. Now, did the judge send him? Or did the person who committed the crime send himself to prison? Well, Allah Almighty too — if 'is Allah not the most just of judges', then outside Allah's verses you live, if you step outside His command, did you ask for the punishment, or did Allah punish you of His own wish? So the verses have been interpreted completely backwards here.
May Allah protect us. Of course: By oath, We created Hell for many of the jinn and mankind. Isn't it like that in states? They have built prisons. In the state they will throw those who commit crimes into prison. The prison was built for all of us.
They have hearts; they do not understand. They have eyes; they do not see with them. They have ears; they do not hear with them. They are like cattle. Even in their course (?) they are more astray. They are the truly heedless. Now, there are blind people. Blind people. Look. There are blind people. Who are these blind people? Allah Almighty, in a figurative sense, speaks of these blind. There are those who are blind in this world. Blind. Those who see the truth but do not want to see it. Those who hear the truth but do not want to hear it. And those who have let their hearts be sealed against Allah.
These are the real blind. Not those who are (?), that is, born blind. They are not blind. (?) open to spiritual unveiling. They do not even want to see. In this world they do not even want to see. These are not the blind. Those born blind are not blind. People who see the truth but do not rely on the Truth, who deny the Truth, who do not want to hear the Truth with their ears. Look, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 171, what does it say? The state of one who denies the one calling to the truth is like that of a shepherd shouting at animals, it says. Like that of a shepherd shouting at animals. They do not understand the shepherd's words.
Look, they do not understand the shepherd's words. They hear only his shouting and calling. In this case they are deaf. They are dumb. They are blind. They hear but do not understand. Yes. Additionally, Surah Al-Isra, verse 72, look what it says. In verse 72: whoever is blind in this world is blind in the hereafter too. And even further astray from the path. Allah Almighty does not mean those born blind in this world. Blind in a figurative sense. Those blind in this world, that is, people who do not come to the truth, who deny Allah, who as non-Muslims pass on to the hereafter, are blind in the hereafter too, it says.
And since it is written in their destinies that they are deniers like this, since they denied, in the realm of the hereafter too they will wait for the Lord of their own imagination. Despite suffering punishment in Hell, since he does not recognise Allah Almighty, who threw him into Hell, as Allah, he will take revenge on Him. And the more he burns in Hell, the more he holds a grudge (?) against Allah. So those who are blind in this world, who do not know Allah as Lord, as Creator, who cannot know Him, people who see the truth but cannot, sir, reach the truth, in the realm of the hereafter and in eternal life in Hell too are blind.
Yes.
Yes. He opened it.
So Surah Al-Isra, verse 72, what does it say? Surah Al-Isra, sir, if you, we
in the world: whoever is blind in this world is blind in the hereafter too. Why is he blind? Although he saw the truth in the world, the person who saw it and did not believe, who denies, when he passes on to the hereafter, will also continue in that blindness. And since his destiny is so, as no one can change that destiny again, these, together with the rebellion they committed, the eternal abode of Hell will have made their bed. Sir, Look what it says in Surah An-Naml, verse 68. By oath, just as this threat was made to us, earlier to our forefathers too too. This is nothing but the tales of the ancients, it says. Sir,
despite their telling the truth, despite our telling the truth, despite Allah Almighty proving the truth with His verses, still saying 'these are the tales of the ancients', sir, 'who has gone and come back?' they say. No one will go and come back. Why will they not come back? Because we made a covenant with Allah Almighty in the realm of Lahut. We came here, to the world, to live our own destiny. This destiny of ours, here, just as it is shot on film, on video here, is recorded on video. If our destiny was written for us in this way, as characters, if we played it in the world, if according to our destiny's wish and desire we ourselves had our own video drawn, made, we, even if we came to the world not once but a thousand times, in the same way the same life we would lead and go.
In this case, for that reason, there is no coming to the world again. In the verse too, Allah Almighty says: if We sent you to the world not once but several times more, you would do the same deeds. Yes. So let us open our eyes, let us escape from blindness, let us use our reason, let us turn to the One who created the worlds; these worlds are not in vain. Although the Creator, with so much mercy, created man upon the most perfect worlds, although He laid every kind of sustenance at his feet, and although all his sustenance, for a lifetime, from wickedness, from every kind of evil, outside of his destiny, He protects him, man is such an ungrateful person that he eats, drinks what Allah gives, eats with pleasure, pleasure, wanders the world in delight; when 'Allah' is said, he flees from Allah. Does this person have a conscience?
Is this person a person of conscience? Now, is this person enlightened?
Do you know who is enlightened in my religion? Not people who say 'enlightened, civilisation' and, as that monster with a single tooth left, Allah deny, live in darkness as light by their own reason and look for light; not them. In my religion the enlightened person is the one who knows Allah and is bound by Allah's verses; that person is enlightened. Because in those verses there is humanity, in those verses there is peace, in those verses there is brotherhood, in those verses there is no ingratitude, in those verses there is submission to Allah, in that verse there is humanity, humanity. Yes.
That is why you cannot call the unbeliever's enlightenment enlightened. They are people living an 'enlightenment' according to their own heads. Whereas Allah Almighty, because they denied Allah at the root, lying unbelievers He calls them. Everything they say is a lie too. They constantly lie to each other too.
