The misinterpretation

Whoever Allah misleads, there is no guide for him. And it leaves them bewildered in their rage.

The right translation

Those who go astray from Allah’s path will not recognize the one who guides to the path of Allah. And they remain in darkness and their transgression bewilderedly.

Explanation

The wrong place in this verse is this: "Whomever Allah leads astray, there is no guide for him." The correct one is: "Whoever strays from the way of Allah, they will not see a guide for him."

As we have always said, our Lord never surprises anyone. Are there not those who guide those who do? Yes. Don't prophets, scholars, those who do good deeds guide those who go astray? Wasn't the Holy Qur'an sent to the whole humanity as a light and a guidance to the worlds? Here are those who are ignorant of the Verses, those who say they know Arabic or those who distort the Verses by serving other mentalities. When they open the Verses of our Lord by distorting them in such a way, did our Lord think that every human being would die without proving what kind of a person they are, according to the Verse of our Lord, when such people prove what kind of a person they are and appear before our Lord in the Hereafter, in the 12th Verse of Sajda Sûrah: "Those sinners will bow their heads before their Lord, Our Lord! We have seen, we have heard, now send us back (to the world) so that we may do good deeds, and say, "We have believed." But there is no going back again. Because in the Verse: "If We send you back not once, but several times, you will still do the same deeds." The meanings of these verses are available in the Holy Qur'anic Tafsir of the Holy Hour.

Since the spread of Islam in this world, people have played with the opening of the Verses of the Holy Qur'an. But if only those who attempt to pervert the Verses of the Qur'an, in full compliance with all the tricks and schemes of the devil with their little minds, would use their minds a little bit and pay heed to this Verse.

Surat al-Tawbah: (32- They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths. But Allah will never cease to maintain His light, even if the disbelievers dislike it). Allah (swt) raises a scholar in time and ends the efforts of such people for centuries with a fiasco.

What is said in the video

We left off at the verse (?). Well, verse 186 of Surah Al-A'raf reads like this. I am reading the wrong one. Whomever Allah leads astray, there is no one, for him, to guide him. Look, how does a person ascribe qualities to Allah Almighty? Allah supposedly leads people astray. Why would Allah lead a person astray? Allah tells even the unbelievers in the Quran (?): return to guidance, there is no other Lord besides your Lord, come, He says, do not be heedless, do not be blind; those who are blind in this world, He says, are blind in the hereafter too (?), (?) because if you could not find Me in this world with that mind of yours, (?) He says, you will not find Me in the hereafter either; come, wake up, He says, wake up from sleep, know Me so that you too may find life in the hereafter, He says.

So whom would Allah lead astray here? How on earth do they ascribe such things to Allah? What does it say? Whomever Allah leads astray, there is no one to guide him. Look, like that (?). And He leaves them wandering blindly in their transgression, it says. In their transgression. Now look at the correct version of the verse. This is what befits Allah anyway. Whoever strays from Allah's path, you will not see anyone to guide him. Of course. He has strayed from Allah's path. This man, you see, says there is no Allah. Who has ever gone there and come back, he says. Well, he has trampled on all of Allah's (?).

Show such a man the way as much as you like. You will not find (?) guidance either. And they remain bewildered in their transgression, it says. In their transgression.

How beautifully it puts it. Whoever strays on Allah's path, for him they will not see anyone to guide him. Anyone to guide him. For example we, the scholars, well, I won't count myself a scholar, but scholars and hodjas explain Allah. But look what we say here: they will not see anyone to guide him. Because there is a veil over their eyes and a plug in their ears. In that state they cannot see the truth. They cannot see what is right. And that is why, in their transgression, utterly bewildered they remain. Yes.
