Ibrahim 11: Their Prophets said to them; “(It is true that) we are nothing but humans like you. But Allah grants Allah’s blessings to those who wish from Allah. It is not possible for us to bring to you proofs without the permission of Allah.” The mu’min only should depend and trust on Allah.

The misinterpretation

Their prophet said to them, (Yes) We are nothing but people like you. But Allah bestows His bounty upon whom He wills of His servants. It is not possible for us to bring you any evidence without Allah's permission. Let the believers rely only on Allah,

The right translation

Their Prophets said to them; “(It is true that) we are nothing but humans like you. But Allah grants Allah’s blessings to those who wish from Allah. It is not possible for us to bring to you proofs without the permission of Allah.” The mu’min only should depend and trust on Allah.

Explanation

This is what is wrong with this verse: Allah bestows His blessing on whom He wills of His servants. The truth is: Allah bestows His blessings on those who ask for them.

They have always opened some of the Verses by attributing shortcomings to our Lord. The reason for this is that they could not comprehend the meaning of Verse 172 of Sûrah A'râf. Since they could not comprehend the meaning of this Verse, they have always opened it by blaming our Lord, who has written the desires and wishes of people as their destiny. Our Lord will put whomever He wills in Paradise and whomever He wills in Hell, Our Lord has chosen so-and-so, hopefully Allah will forgive him, etc. They have written these words by attributing to Allah the decisions that a human being would make by testing another human being. However, this contradicts the verse that says that there is not a single living creature that will come until the Day of Judgment, so that we do not know what it will do, and the verses contradict each other. In this case, the verses that are opened in this situation lead people to dead ends and people's minds are filled with superstitions with the decisions they make according to their own minds. The detailed details are in the footnote of the 172nd verse of Surat al-A'râf.

What is said in the video

Surah Ibrahim, let's see where there's a mistake. There is a mistake in its 11th verse. What does it say? Their prophets said to them: yes, we are nothing but human beings like you. Yes. But Allah bestows His blessing on whom He wills among His servants. Here it says 'whom He wills'. Allah gives His blessing to those of His servants who wish, who ask for it. It is not possible for us to bring you a proof without Allah's permission. Correct. So let the believers rely only on Allah. Correct. There is a small mistake there. We corrected that too. Their prophets said to them: yes, we are nothing but human beings like you.

But Allah bestows His blessing on those of His servants who wish. That is, whoever opens his heart to Allah, whoever says: yes, my Lord is Allah, there is no god but Allah, the absolute owner and ruler, the creator of the universe is Allah, and believes in Him, submits to Him, and continues on Allah's path, errors excepted; he will make mistakes, there is no one without error. He will ask Allah's pardon for the error, ask forgiveness, and his rank will rise too. Yes. It is not possible for us to bring you a proof without Allah's permission. Because there is nothing in our hands. Power and strength are only from Allah.

All proofs are Allah's. Allah shows the miracles. The prophets ask, and Allah makes it appear for whom He wills. Otherwise the prophet or the friends of Allah have no possibility of showing such a miracle. That is, they have no way of doing it by themselves. Only when they turn to Allah Almighty, and if Allah Almighty wills, if He wills, He shows that miracle. Why 'if He wills'? Because some people go astray. And some, sir, find the truth. Allah knows this according to the pledge they gave. In that case, if among them there are those who will go astray, Allah Almighty, sir, if there are those who would become Muslim and then go astray, doesn't do it.

He shows the miracle to whom He wills.

Let the believers rely only on Allah, it says. The believers. Here Yes. Ve alallahi felyetevekkelil mü'minun. Why does it say 'believers', say 'believers', rather than 'amanu', 'those who believed'? What's the reason? Because the believers: in Surah Al-Fajr, verses 27-28-29-30, what does it say? O soul that has found rest, your Lord pleased with you and you pleased with your Lord, enter among My servants, enter My Paradise; the people He says this to. These are the believers; there is no turning back for them. That's why it says believers: let them rely on Allah, let them trust. Because there will be no (?) in Allah's word, He takes the believers here.

Yes. And it shows the believers to people as an example. An example.
