The misinterpretation
He has given you everything you want. If you were to count the blessings of Allah, you would not be able to count them. Indeed, man is very cruel, very ungrateful.
The right translation
Allah has given you from all the things that you desired. If you tried to count Allah’s blessings, you would not be able to. Verily, (most) people are oppressors, they are ungrateful.
Explanation
This is where this verse goes wrong: Verily, man is very unjust, very ungrateful. The truth is: (Most of) mankind are very unjust, very ungrateful.
In the wrong opening it says that man is very cruel, very ungrateful. This means that if man is so ungrateful, so cruel, then our Lord could not create a good human being. The meaning here is very deep, but we will summarize it in a few sentences so that we can understand it. When people make a covenant with our Lord, these people are not robots, they all make the same covenant. All human beings made a covenant with our Lord using their own will. Some denied and some said, "You are my Lord. So not all people are cruel and ungrateful, but many are cruel and ungrateful. When opening the verses, they should open the verses by seeing the truths and not attributing our Lord. The word of our Lord is in letters. The exact equivalent of the verses does not exist in any human language. If our Lord says that we have revealed the Qur'an in Arabic so that it can be better understood, if we open the word of our Lord according to our own minds while opening the verses, according to the concept of a human mind, we will be mired in such superstitions and we will be attributing our Lord.
What is said in the video
He says: peace be upon you. Sir, on page 239. Yes. We stopped at the wrongly explained verses. Alright. Verse 34. Allah Almighty here, verse 34, makes it known to us like this. But people explained it wrongly. Let's read the wrongly explained one. He gave you of everything you asked for.
Which verse is this the counterpart of?
The counterpart of 'Which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?' in Surah Ar-Rahman. Which of what I gave you will you deny, it says. He gave everything. If you were to count Allah's blessing, you could not count it. That's the counterpart of the same verse. Indeed, man is very unjust, very ungrateful, it says. Now, the end didn't come out right here. If man is very unjust, very ungrateful, well, You created man too; if only You hadn't created him this way.
If only You hadn't created him unjust. If only You had created him obedient to Your Being, that is, gentle. Right? It comes to a person's mind. Whereas the end, correctly: many of the people, see, many are very unjust, very ungrateful. Many. So when it says 'many', it means there are good ones too. There are good ones too. So Allah Almighty created them, but many of the people denied Allah. What happens? It supports verse 172 of Surah Al-A'raf. Yes.
Yes.
