The misinterpretation

So who is more unjust than he who invents a lie against Allah or denies His Verses. No doubt you know that criminals never heal

The right translation

So, who is a greater oppressor than the one who fabricates lies against Allah or who denies Allah’s verses? Verily, great sinners cannot attain guidance (as long as they are on that path).

Explanation

This is the wrong place in this verse: Verily, know that the guilty shall never be restored. And the truth is: Surely the guilty will not prosper (in that state).

While giving the opening equivalents of the verses, they wrote the opening of the verses by attributing our Lord other than their equivalents. The reason for the wrong opening, as we keep saying, is that they could not comprehend the meaning of Verse 172 of Surah A'râf. All the commentators have made a mistake here. They have slandered our Lord by giving meanings to the verses according to their own minds other than the meanings of the verses, saying that our Lord says so.

Allah (swt) did not create human beings free from mistakes. Our Lord says in His verse that if you had not committed mistakes, I would have destroyed you and created servants who committed mistakes. What does this mean? Allah does not need His creatures. He only wants people to know their Lord who created them. In this case, our Lord, who created people imperfectly, forgives people's sins when they make mistakes and repent to our Lord. People know that our Lord is great because of the mistakes they have made, they realize that they need Him, and since we realize that we need our Lord in every way, our Lord forgives us because we are in accordance with the purpose of our Lord's creation. In this respect, our Lord says in His verse, "I am the One who forgives sins abundantly". Our Prophet (PBUH) also says that even if people's sins reach the clouds in the sky, when they ask for forgiveness from our Lord with a sincere heart and repent, our Lord will change their sins into good deeds. The truth of the verse is: Surely the guilty will not prosper (in that state).

What is said in the video

it is not possible for him to decide thinking it will (?). All the verses have been translated this way. Many verses have been translated like this. Verse 17 of Surah Yunus. So who is more unjust than one who fabricates a lie against Allah or those who deny His verses? No doubt, know that the criminals will never prosper. Yes.

What does it say here? So who is more unjust than one who fabricates a lie against Allah or one who denies His verses, it says. Correct. No doubt, know that the criminals will never prosper.

Here the last sentence has been translated wrongly.

We read the correct ones in just the same way. So who is more unjust than one who fabricates a lie against Allah or tells lies about His verses? And these are people who deny Allah; no doubt, the criminals. What does 'mujrim' say here? Wrongdoers, it has the same meaning. That one says wrongdoer, this one says mujrim; mujrim is the same. The criminals, while they remain in that state, will not attain salvation. Or do those who turn back from their crime, who turn back from their wrongdoing, not attain salvation? Isn't Allah Almighty's door of repentance open? Is there another door besides Allah, sir, for people to go to?

Because this last word is wrong, sir, we have marked this part this way. Yes.
