The misinterpretation

Say: Nothing will ever reach us except what Allah has written for us. He is our Mevla. Therefore, believers should put their trust in Allah alone.

The right translation

Say; “Nothing will reach us, except that which Allah has written for us. Allah is our Owner. The mu’min should only trust in Allah.”

Explanation

This is where we have gone wrong: Nothing reaches us except what Allah has written for us. The truth is: Nothing reaches us except what Allah has dictated for us.

Allah created our souls in the realm of Lahut and when He said to them Elestu bi Rabbikum, I am your Lord, there our souls were divided into three groups. Rightists, leftists and mukarrebun class. Then our Lord made a covenant with us one by one. Each one of us had his desire and will written down as his destiny. In the wrong opening: Allah will never reach us except what He has written for us, then our covenant with our Lord disappears. Allah (swt) has written His destiny for whomever He wills in the way He wills. Since the verses of the Qur'an have already been opened with this understanding, they have attributed our Lord and made the verses of the Qur'an contradictory to each other. The correct way of opening is that people have written their destiny to our Lord according to their own desires.

What is said in the video

Verse 51 has been translated wrongly. Say: Nothing will ever befall us except what Allah has written for us. He is our Protector. So let the believers rely and trust in Allah alone. Yes, who is saying this? The believers are saying it. He is our Protector. So let the believers rely on Allah alone.

Here the same words repeat: nothing will ever befall us except what we had Allah write for us. What does it say here? Say: except what Allah has written for us.

Look at the word. What Allah wrote is one thing, what one had Allah write is another. If it is what Allah wrote, then He chose among His servants. You are an unbeliever, you are a Muslim, you are an unbeliever, you are (?) and so on, you see? And to the other He said: I love you, be one of the Muslims. Allah always discriminated in this way. Yet Allah does not discriminate among His servants. I'm reading it again. Say: what Allah has written for us – if Allah wrote me down as an unbeliever, what would He want from me then? How do people with doctorates translate this like this? Whereas: Say, nothing will ever befall us except what we had Allah write for us. That is, whatever I desired, Allah Almighty wrote my desire and wish, my intent, sir, into my destiny.

Nothing at all happens outside of it.

Bring a verse for this – let's see, what is it now? Which verse?

There is a verse saying no one can step outside his destiny.

They set a trap, and We set a trap. But We are the best of those who set traps. That is, set as many traps as you like; if the trap you set is outside your destiny, you can't get out. Because Allah undoes that trap of yours and brings it within your destiny.

So what does the real meaning of the verse say? Say: nothing will ever befall us except what we had Allah write for us. So you cannot step outside your destiny. He is our Protector. So let the believers rely on Allah alone.

Now why here? 'So let the believers rely', He says.

Let the believers put their trust in Allah. Let them put their trust in Allah. Let them rely on Allah. It comes to the same meaning. Why here, 'falyatawakkal', sir, doesn't it say "those who have believed"? Hodja, since they are (?) to each other, Allah Almighty knows they will take pride (?). There is a mercy in it. Explain. Explain. Hodja, because Muslims (?). But a Muslim. But a Muslim. You'll say just one single word. Among those who believe, there are also some who become unbelievers. That is, there are some who cross over to unbelief. Aren't there? There are. Or, instead of "those who believe" it could say "Islam", for example, instead of claims of faith. Because within Islam too there are some who become unbelievers, but for the true believer there is no turning back.

O soul at peace! Enter among My servants, well pleased with your Lord, enter My Paradise – the people to whom He says this. These are people who have come to know the divine manifestations. For them there is no turning back. Yes. That is why it says "the believers": let them rely on Allah. When a calamity touches a Muslim (?), he (?). Look, what does the woman in Manavgat say? Can there be such pain, she says. Look, she is rebelling. What pain is this, she says. Can there be such pain, she says. She is rebelling against Allah.

She too is a person who has believed. But a true believer doesn't say this.

You must know the subtleties here very well. Yes. Let's continue.
