The misinterpretation

They will swear to you that you may be satisfied with them. But even if you are pleased with them, Allah will never be pleased with the wicked people.

The right translation

They will take oaths so that you will be content with them. But even if you were content with them, Allah will never be content with a nation of great sinners (as long as they are on that path).

Explanation

This is where this verse goes wrong: Allah will never be pleased with a party of transgressors. The truth is: Allah will never be pleased with a group of transgressors (in that state).

In this verse too, they have removed the attribute of our Lord, Tawwab. Our Lord did not create human beings free from error. People can make mistakes and go astray. But when they repent, our Lord says in His Verse, "I am the One who accepts repentance. When people repent and enter Islam, will our Lord say, "You were an infidel, you were a transgressor, I do not accept your repentance"? In this case, many verses have been opened in the same way and they have characterized our Lord. The truth of this is as we have written: Allah will never be pleased with a group of transgressors (in that state).

They cannot know what is right. Yes.

There is a mistake in verse 96 of Surah At-Tawbah too. Let us find the place where the mistake is by consulting together with you. Yes.

They will swear to you so that you may be pleased with them. I mean, these are hypocrites. But even if you are pleased with them, Allah is never pleased with the community of transgressors, it says. The community of transgressors. Now when it says the community of transgressors, pay attention to this verse. When a transgressor brings you news, until you learn whether it is true, do not attack that people, it says. Here, even if he has brought the news truthfully, until the truth of that news is known, Allah Almighty calls him a transgressor. Now here, when it says the community of transgressors, it doesn't necessarily mean people who are all together. Among these, within a people, the transgressors.

Well. These, in response to this verse: they will swear to you so that you may be pleased with them. But you, that you may be pleased with them even, even if you are pleased, with the community of transgressors who remain in that state He is never pleased. Who remain in that state. Yes. A person may have brought some news. A person may have lied. Well, knowing that the deed he did was wrong, presenting it to himself as right, as right, well, to tell the person before him that he did right, he may have lied. Here he may have committed a transgression, that is, a lie. Or he may have carried gossip.

Well, in this case the person is not considered to have revealed his own character well, in the full sense. Because people were created fallible. Because of this fallibility he may commit some transgressions. In that case, until you know whether it is true, it says, do not attack the people before you. So here too a person does a wrong thing. We put that into the transgressors category too. But as long as that person continues in that transgression, one must not believe him. One must not believe that person. But: oh, I really was mistaken. It really was like this here, and so on. I took a wrong path, he says.

If he repents and asks forgiveness, look, that's different. So to be able to tell these apart, what do we say? Allah is never pleased with the community of transgressors who remain in that state. I mean, people who have now spent their lives as deniers, and transgressors, that is, people who carry tales, gossip and backbite. Yes. As long as he continues in that state,
