The deaf who do not think and the dumb are worse in Allah’s sight than animals.
Explanation
This verse has been misinterpreted from the beginning. Our Lord does not create anything bad. He does not create anything, especially if it is useless. Each of His creatures has a mission and these creatures fulfill their mission.
Allah (swt) has given His spirit to man as a part of His Essence. In this case, human beings have been created honorable over the worlds. But those who deny our Lord. Those who invent religions other than the religion of Islam, and those who invent religions according to their own favor and understanding, those who deny our Lord in Elestu bi Rabbikum and make their covenant in that way, those who wait for the Lord of their own imagination, those who have their hearts sealed by putting veils over their eyes and plugs in their ears because of their denial of our Lord in Elestu bi Rabbikum, such people are lower than animals in their understanding.

Verse 22 of Surah Al-Anfal has been translated wrongly. Let's look at the mistake here. Where is the mistake? Surely, in Allah's sight, the worst of animals are the deaf and dumb who do not think, it says. What does it say? Surely, in Allah's sight, the worst of animals are the deaf and dumb who do not think. Allah did not create anything bad among the animals. Look, here it speaks of evil created by Allah. Whereas: the deaf and dumb who do not think are surely, in Allah's sight, in a worse state than animals. Than animals. As it says, they are like four-legged beasts that eat (?) and roam about.
the verse that says they are even more (?) in their course (?). Yes.
We read it once more. Look. Surely, in Allah's sight, the worst of animals, it says. Come on, Allah did not create anything bad! Yes, Allah did not create a (?) thing. What kind of translation is this? What kind of, well, knowledge of Arabic, or what kind of — to muddle people's minds, making them say that Allah also created bad creatures (?). (?) Allah too, from Allah, muddling people's minds. What does it say? Surely, in Allah's sight, the worst of animals are the deaf and dumb who do not think, it says.
The worst of animals. The deaf and, well, dumb who do not think. Animals here, it says, the shepherd's (?) shouting. (?) they hear, but they do not hear what he says, it says. They do not understand what he says, it says. So then it is saying this about animals. It is not saying this about people. Whereas look: the deaf and dumb who do not think, surely, who do not think. Do you never think? Do you never use your reason, says Allah Almighty? He says this to people. The deaf and dumb who do not think are surely, in Allah's sight, in a worse state than animals. Yes. (?) the animal, according to the duty it was made for, the duty it was created for, it performs its duty.
And you, by your own will, despite being created the most honourable, while even the lowly animal performs its duty, if you overstep the limits Allah has set, and what Allah has fed you and given you, you eat and drink, then turn your back on Him and rebel, are you not in a worse state than an animal? Yes.
