The misinterpretation
(But Lot's) His wife is exceptional. We appreciated that he was one of the rest.
The right translation
Except for his wife. She is amongst the marked ones, the ones who will be left behind.”
Explanation
This is where it is wrong: We have ordained him to be one of the laggards. The truth is: He is one of the ordained, one of those who are left behind.
They have always accused Our Lord of discrimination and injustice among His servants because they have misinterpreted this verse in this way. Our Lord does not intend anyone to remain in torment. Because Our Lord, who has given the will of every human being into His own hands, has written the destinies of people according to their desires and wishes. There is no creature that can change these destinies. Only our Lord can change it. Our Lord also says in His verse. Unless We will, you cannot will. So if anyone can change these destinies, it is me, and I have been promised heaven and hell.
Our Lord also says: "There is a Book in My Book, which is preserved in the Levh-i Mahfuz, and no addition or omission will be made to it afterwards. The worlds will continue according to this programmed program. In this case, the people who dictate the script of their covenant will prove what kind of a person they are by acting out the script they have dictated in the world like an artist. In this case, is our Lord deciding between people? They accuse our Lord of discrimination among His servants because We have ordained that he should be among those who are left behind. The truth of the verse is that he was one of the appointed ones, one of the remnant. People who give their pledge by denying our Lord when they give their pledge, prove what kind of a person they are in this world and pass on to the Hereafter.
What is said in the video
In Surah Al-Hijr, verse 60, there is a mistake. Here too: but Lot's wife is excepted. We decreed that she would be among those who stay behind, it says. Look, Allah Almighty picks people Himself, as it were: I didn't like this one, this one is no good, let this one perish. Whereas Allah Almighty left man free in his own will, in return for the covenant he gave to Allah Almighty He wrote his script, gave him characters accordingly. When the time came, the person, in proportion to his own characters, brought forth desire and wish, brought them forth. And Allah Almighty created causes according to his desire and wish, and with those causes the person proved what kind of person he was.
He earned reward or sin. Since Allah Almighty knew this, it was not He who decreed it. The person had himself decreed to be among those who stay behind. What do we say? But Lot's wife is excepted; she is among those decreed to stay behind. Among those decreed, among those who stay behind. That is, they too are among those who gave their covenant badly. Even though she was the wife of Noah, she was rebellious. According to one narration, when the angels came, it was she who told the leaders of the people about the angels: handsome people have come to Noah. Yes.
