The misinterpretation
Only those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, perform the prayers, pay the zakat, and fear no one but Allah can maintain the mosques of Allah. These are the ones who are hoped to be among the righteous.
The right translation
Only those who believe in Allah and in the hereafter, who establish the prayer, pay obligatory alms and who don’t fear anyone other Allah, will build the masjids of Allah. Those are the ones who are on the right path.
Explanation
The verse that has been misinterpreted here is this: These are they who are hoped to be of the rightly guided. And the truth is: And these are the rightly guided.
They constantly open the verses by attributing shortcomings to Allah (swt). It is hoped that our Lord will not use His word. Because according to our Lord's verse, "There is not a single living creature that will come until the Day of Resurrection that we do not know what it will do", this wrong opening of the verse is contrary to the verse. None of the verses contradict each other. Here, by making our Lord use the word 'hopefully', they are putting people in a situation where they are unaware of the future, which is contrary to the verse I mentioned above.
It is necessary to use the word Ta ki here. Ta ki is a sign pronoun. Our Lord knows those among a people who will become Muslims, so He points to them and says, "These are the ones who will attain salvation".
What is said in the video
(?) is there anyone else? No — behind verse 19, it has translated it here, on this page.
In verse 18: Allah's mosques — only those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish prayer properly, give zakat and fear none but Allah maintain them. Those hoped to be among the rightly guided are these, it says. It's the word 'hoped', isn't it, Hodja (?) The word 'hoped' (?) is wrong. Of course. This word is wrong. For Allah Almighty the word 'hoping' is not used. 'It is hoped that.' This is not used.
Why is it not used? Because what does Allah Almighty say? There is not a single creature until the Day of Judgement whose deeds We do not know. So Allah Almighty speaks with certainty, with certainty. It says 'it is hoped that', those hoped are these, it says. Those hoped to be among the rightly guided are these, it says. Having reached the right path. Now here surely the word (?) must have occurred. Let's look at the word in verse 18. 19, 18 here. Yes.
18th verse. This is 17, yes.
There is no word le'alle here. The word le'alle has not been put, but the meaning here is this: Forgiven by Allah, those who fear none but Allah maintain them — and so the rightly guided are these, it says. Even if we don't put 'so', the rightly guided are these. Yes, now here a thought like this comes to mind. What does it say? Those who fear none but Allah maintain them. Those hoped to be among the rightly guided are these, it says. After these people have done good deeds like this, don't they slip? They do slip. Then is there a mistake here, then? No. Well, why did you record this as wrong?
What comes to your mind about it? Isn't that so?
Allah Almighty says this in His verse. A verse does not contradict a verse. It will confirm it. Those with high ranks in paradise maintain Allah's mosques, it says. The verse says it already. Those who pray and give zakat maintain Allah's mosques, it says. Verse confirms verse. So, when people made their covenant with Allah Almighty, since Allah Almighty knew such people's aims, knew their destinies, because such people never again, the people who do this maintaining, will turn back and fall, there is a word He has spoken. Allah's word. Yes. Verses will always correspond with verses. When it says 'those hoped' here, such hoped-for ones are not merely hoped for.
Allah confirms His verses with His verses.
