The misinterpretation
When a surah is revealed (winking and mocking) they look at each other (and) Does anyone (around) see you? They ask, then (sneak off) away. Allah has turned their hearts (from faith) because they are a people who do not understand.
The right translation
When a chapter is sent down, they look at each other (mockingly) and ask; “Does anyone see you?” Then, they disappear. Because they are an ignorant nation, they turned their hearts away from Allah and belief.
Explanation
This is where this verse goes wrong: Allah has turned their hearts away (from faith). The truth is: They have turned their hearts away from Allah and from faith.
Why did our Lord make a covenant with human beings after the covenant of Elestu bi Rabbikum? Why did He put their will in their hands? In this case, He made a covenant with human beings in order to hold them responsible for all their actions by placing the burden on them. Whatever people desired from our Lord, our Lord gave them their desires in full. In this case, our Lord sent people to the world, which is a realm of the unseen, that is, a realm where His Essence is not visible. Each person passes on to the hereafter after proving what kind of a person he is by acting out the scenario of the covenant he made with our Lord in Kalu Bela as an artist in the world.
In that case, why did our Lord make a covenant with us in Elestu bi Rabbikum if He is going to judge people by His own will? If people will be held accountable for the deeds of their own two hands, our Lord will not turn anyone's heart away from faith. The truth of the verse is: They have turned their hearts away from Allah and from faith.
What is said in the video
127. There is also a mistake in this verse. Verse 127: When a surah is sent down, they wink and mock, look at one another and "Does anyone around see you?" they ask. Then they slip away. Because they are a people who do not understand, Allah has turned their hearts away from faith. Now they pin it on Allah. Now here is Allah, the Creator. I would ask Him this: Did You create me? You did. If You created me, and if I did not understand Your word, Allah has turned their hearts away from faith. Then why did You turn my heart away from faith?
If You had not turned my heart away from faith, I might have turned to You, I would have obeyed. But look how it changes if we write it like this: Because they are a people who do not understand, they have turned their hearts away from Allah and from faith. That is, to Allah Almighty: You did not create me, you are like me; because Allah Almighty appears to him in human form, sir, that is how he imagines it, of course. In my imagination I am waiting for the one who created me. And I don't believe in you either, he says. That is what 'they have turned away from Allah and from faith' means here. It is not Allah who turned them away here.
In this way people keep on blaming Allah Almighty. And with Allah's permission we are striving to remove them.
