The misinterpretation

As for the happy ones, they too are in Paradise. They will abide therein forever as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord wills. This (blessings) is an inexhaustible grace.

The right translation

And those who are joyful, they are in paradise. And those who desire from their Lord, they will stay there eternally as long as the heavens and the earth stay. This is a never-ending blessing.

Explanation

They make the same mistake in this verse and in many other verses. And this is where they go wrong: Except what your Lord wills. And the truth is. Except those who ask of our Lord.

Will is two. 1- Universal Will 2- Limited Will. If our Lord was going to make a distinction between His servants by removing our will from us and using His will on us when He made a covenant with mankind, why did He give us this will and make us write our own will as our destiny? The translators are all wrong in the opening of the verses where they open the verses with "Our Lord's will over mankind". Allah (swt) is free from all incomplete attributes. Allah is complete and perfect. Our Lord created these worlds by His will. This is what our Lord willed and He created what He willed: He has left only man free in his will. And the jinn. In these worlds, there is no more will of our Lord and no more creation of new beings. If He had new beings and commands to create new beings, then Our Lord would not be exempt from imperfect attributes, and Our Lord would have evolved Himself over time. In this case, Allah created what He created and programmed the worlds. He will not create anything again until the Day of Judgment. After the Resurrection, we will be reckoned with in the Court-i Kübra and He will create new beings in Paradise. Our Prophet (PBUH) says that everything wet and dry is written in the Qur'an. So, our Lord, who created the worlds completely and programmed the worlds until the Day of Judgment, created His creations fully and completely and left people free in their own will. He wrote their desires and wishes as their destiny. Our Lord has no more wishes on human beings. Each soul will be held accountable for the deeds it has committed of its own will. Further details are in the 172nd verse of Surat al-A'râf.

What is said in the video

Yes, verse 108: as for those who are happy, that is, as for the people of Paradise, I am reading the wrong rendering, they are in Paradise, except what your Lord wills; here too the 'He', the one who wills, who wills, they always attribute this to Allah Almighty; except, as long as the heavens and the earth endure, they too will remain there forever; these blessings are an endless, unceasing grace, it says. Whereas: as for those who are happy, they are in Paradise. Those who ask it of their Lord, that is, those who know their Lord, who, while living the worldly life, believe there is no god but Allah, who by our Lord's verses abide by His rule, who do not transgress our Lord's limits; except what your Lord wills, it says here.

Yes, those who ask it of their Lord, as long as the heavens and the earth endure, they too will remain there will remain. These blessings are an endless, inexhaustible grace. Some, sir, (?) endlessly in Paradise and in Hell. Some say so. They want to distort the verses. The verses are clear. Will you believe the word of man? Or will you believe the word of Allah? Allah, who created the worlds from nothing, over His servants, sir, the judgment is Allah's. What beautiful paths our Lord shows us. The words that come out of a person's mouth, just as cigarette smoke disperses in the air, disperse, pass and go. But Allah's words, just as the sun lights up everything, always make their light shine upon people. Yes.
