The misinterpretation

Had Allah willed, He would have made all of you one ummah; But He misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills to the straight path. You will be held responsible for your actions.

The right translation

If Allah had desired, Allah would have made all of you a single nation. But those who wish from Allah go astray and those who wish from Allah go to the straight path. And you will be held accountable for the things you are doing.

Explanation

This is where this verse goes wrong: But He leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. The truth is: But whosoever wills of Him will go astray, and whosoever wills of Him will be guided.

This is where this verse goes wrong. He took out from the children of Adam their offspring from their loins, and made them witnesses to them and said: Am I not your Lord? Verily: He brought forth from the children of Adam their offspring as witnesses against them and said: I am your Lord.

The root of all the misinterpreted verses is that this verse has not been understood, so the verses have been misinterpreted according to people's own minds, in various superstitions, and they have attributed shortcomings to our Lord.

By explaining this Verse to you, we will try to remove the falsehoods in the Holy Qur'an, which have been opened as superstition and written by attributing shortcomings to our Lord. I will explain this verse in some depth.

We have explained wishing in the previous Verses, but wishing is repeated in the Holy Qur'an so many times that it is repeated over and over again. So we have explained wishing in detail in the 172nd Verse of Surah A'râf. When our Lord's wish on people is mentioned, we repeat it by putting the equivalent of the verse that we have explained in detail in the 172nd verse of Surah A'râf. The wisdom of repeating an article is for a better understanding of the subject matter.

It is because of the lack of understanding of this Verse that all the misinterpreted Verses originate. The verses have been misinterpreted in various superstitions in accordance with people's own minds and attributed to our Lord.

By explaining this Verse to you, we will try to remove the falsehoods in the Holy Qur'an, which have been opened as superstition and written by attributing shortcomings to our Lord. I will explain this verse in some depth.

1- Why did Allah (swt) create us?

2- Where were humans created in the Hereafter?

3- Why did he make a covenant with men?

4- Why did our Lord, who made a covenant with human beings, send us to earth without putting us there into heaven and hell, even though He knew what they were?

By answering these questions for you, we will have a better understanding of our creation, the purpose of our coming into the world and how we are to behave in the world. In this case, we will be free from the superstitions attributed to our Lord and the superstitions of people who attribute incomplete shortcomings to our Lord.

1- What did Allah (swt) create us for? Our Lord was with His Essence. That is, our Lord has no beginning and no end. He exists with His Essence with the attribute of His Essence (HU). In other words, our Lord was neither created, nor was He created, nor was He born, nor did He have children (wives and children). In this case, our Lord was alone before the creation of these worlds. He is also a great treasure of knowledge. Our Lord wanted it to be known that He was a treasure of knowledge. He created the light of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) from His light. From his light He created the seven layers of the heavens and the worlds between them. Then He gave a part of His soul to the Prophet (pbuh). From the soul of the Prophet (PBUH), He created the souls of other Prophets and made a covenant with them. In the 81st verse of Surah Al-Imran, our Lord says

81- Remember when Allah sent among the Prophets, after I gave you the Book and wisdom, a Messenger who confirms what is before you, you will certainly help him. Have you affirmed this? Have you accepted this covenant? When I asked them, they replied that they accepted. Then Allah said, "Then bear witness, and I am one of those who bear witness with you.

Then Allah (swt) created the souls of His people from the souls of the Prophets He created. The Prophet (SAW) was the first to be created before the creation of the worlds. Then the Prophets. Then the tribes of the Prophets. Our Lord was an unknown treasure and He wanted it to be known, so He created man. Our Lord gave only human beings one of His spirits in all the worlds. For this, He has made man honorable over the worlds. "I have created man in the most beautiful form" (Legad haleknel insane fi ahsani calendar).

2- Where were we created in the Hereafter? In the Hereafter, our Lord created our souls in the realm of Lahut, as many people as will come to the world. While our created souls were unaware of themselves, He suddenly awakened them all at the same time and addressed them with the certainty that I am your Lord. In this case, our souls are divided into three parts. The reason for this? Because our Lord gave man one of his spirits, and people were too proud and arrogant to recognize our Lord as the Creator, standing in front of man, in the form of a human being, and they disbelieved. In this case, our Lord calls them liars and disbelievers in this verse. These people who denied our Lord waited for the Lord of their dreams.

Let us elaborate here a little more. In the 7th verse of Surah Al-Taqi'a, our Lord says: And when you are three classes, 8- Happy are those on the right. 9- How unfortunate are those on the left. 10- Those who are ahead in good deeds are ahead (in reward).

Here we are divided into three classes. There are many more events here, where the Prophet (PBUH) is addressing people in the presence of our Lord, saying, yes, this is our Lord. This is the one who created us. Our Lord also created our souls in twilight darkness. The created people are in three classes, the people at the front are seen and the people at the back are seen, but they cannot be recognized. Here a hadith appears: (Our Lord created our souls in twilight. He scattered something of His light on them. Those who received it found their way; those who did not, lost their way and went astray). This hadith explains Elestu bi Rabbikumu. It is the word of our Lord, "I have created you". He who received that light found his way. Those on the right who say, "Yes, you are my Lord" have found their way. Those who deny and those who wait for the Lord of their own imagination, the leftists have lost their way.

Will is two. Since our Lord has given to man from his soul, we have dictated our desires and wishes to our Lord as destiny with this will in our soul. Although people know that our Lord has made a covenant with human beings and that our Lord has written the desires and wishes of human beings as destiny, they have attributed our Lord by removing the will of human beings from human beings and making our Lord use His will on human beings and making human beings discriminate among His servants within the will of our Lord and sending whomever He wants to heaven and whomever He wants to hell. This is because they do not understand this verse.

Our Lord, who makes a covenant with each person individually, makes a covenant with people one by one. He shows the times as a project to the person with whom He has made a covenant and leaves it to the person's own will as to which time he will go. Moreover, whatever he requested from our Lord, our Lord gave him exactly what he wanted. The verse says that We have given man countless sustenance. Whatever man asks of our Lord, He gives him in abundance without withholding what he has asked for.

When our Lord makes a covenant with a person, He leaves them free in their own will and writes down their own desires and wishes as their destiny, without any pressure or coercion. On what basis, then, do people characterize our Lord among His servants, saying that He has led this one astray, that one astray. They characterize our Lord with all kinds of superstitions that He has sealed the heart of this one, that He will put whomever He wills into heaven and whomever He wills into hell.

Our Lord, who knows the mystery of the human heart, has written the destiny of the person according to his desire and will. When a human being, who has written his script in the address Elestu bi Rabbikum, comes into the world, he plays out the script he has written like an artist and bears witness to his surroundings and to our Lord as to what kind of a person he is.

3- Why did he make a covenant with people? Allah (swt) is exempt from any imperfect attribute. In the 172nd Verse of Surah A'râf, our Lord says:

172- And He made the descendants of the Children of Adam to bear witness against themselves and said, "I am your Lord", lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection, "We were unaware of this": I am your Lord. (They said) yes, we bear witness (to that).

173- Or that you may not say: "Our fathers used to associate partners with Allah, and we were a generation after them (we followed in their footsteps), will you destroy us because of those who commit falsehood?

Verse 173 says that because the covenant in the Hereafter is closed to people when they come into the world, we made a covenant with you in the Hereafter with your soul, which is your real being, so that you do not justify yourself by saying, "I saw it this way from my parents," with your life in the world. Your real existence is your soul. Your body is for your appearance as an external being when I send you to the world. And since you see yourself in flesh and bones in this visible world, we made a covenant with you in the address Elestu bi Rabbikum, so that you would not say that you did not give me a notification, using your life in the world as an excuse. We have lifted you up to the realm of Berzah, we have sent you back to the world at whatever time you have chosen, and we have done this in order to keep you as a witness to yourselves as to what kind of a person you are.

4- Why did our Lord, who made a covenant with human beings, send us to earth without putting us there into heaven and hell, even though He knew what they were?

Allah has the attribute of Allah. Allah is free from all imperfect attributes. No one will be able to question or question our Lord. Is this because our Lord will frighten people? No. Is it because He will use violence to oppress them? No! Our Lord does not need these things. He has left every human being free in his own will. Our Lord will judge people with His justice in the Court of Judgment for what they have done. So what is the attribute of our Lord as Allah? If all that people have done has been written as an iota of good and an iota of evil, if people have come to the world to prove what kind of a person they are, then all the questions that people will ask our Lord will have been played out by their actual deeds in this world and they will be cut off from the question. Our Lord says in the verse: (Did you think that you would die without proving what kind of people you are?

In the 134th verse of Surah Taha, our Lord explains beautifully why He sent human beings into the world: 134- If We had destroyed them with a torment before this (the Qur'an), they would surely have said: "O Lord! If You had sent us a messenger, we would have followed Your Verses before we fell into this humiliation and disgrace.

It is here that the attribute of Allah, our Lord, is manifested. If we open this verse, before the Qur'an, it means that the Torah, the Psalms and the Injeel are in the Holy Qur'an. Since all the books are in the Qur'an, and Allah (swt) sent His books to give life and light to the people, the meaning of "before the Qur'an" here is that if we had included people in hell according to their covenants before we sent them to the world, they would have said, I couldn't believe in you as my Lord, because I gave them my soul, and they saw me as their Self, and He created these visible worlds so that they wouldn't say that if you had sent me to an unseen realm where Your Self was invisible, I would have worshipped you, and He sent us to this realm to prove to ourselves what kind of a human being we are.

Surah Al-Qasas Surah Verse 47- "When a calamity befalls them because of what they themselves have done, they say, 'Our Lord! Would that You had sent us a Prophet so that we might have followed Your Verses and been of the believers! (We would not have sent you) had they not said."

They have introduced superstitions into the Holy Qur'an by making light of the sins that people commit of their own volition, saying that our Lord will let whomever He wants into paradise, that is, no matter how many sins a person commits, our Lord will let him into the paradise He loves.

These Verses are clear. In this case, those who open the Verses according to their own minds, who open the Verses by turning them into superstitions by attributing our Lord according to the taste of every translator, do they think that they will save themselves from the punishment of our Lord? Therefore, no one can attribute our Lord by opening the Verses in nonsense! Nor can anyone open the Verses in this way.

What is said in the video

Let's see, in Surah An-Nahl, in which verse is there a mistake? Sir, the ninety-third verse. What does it say? “Had Allah willed, He would have made us all a single community.” It says it right. Had He willed, He would have made us all a single community. “But He leads astray whom He wills” – ah, so He leads astray. These people render the verse like this: He leads astray whom He wills. So then, if He is going to lead us astray anyway, why did Allah create us? So did He create us for Hell? That is what they say anyway. What does it say? Indeed. Cehenneme kesîran mine'l-cinni ve'l-insi. “We created many of mankind and jinn for Hell,” it says.

Exactly that meaning. Whereas: indeed, Hell was created for many of mankind and jinn. Well, were the prisons here built for all of us? If this world is the likeness and shadow of the Hereafter, it was created for those who commit crimes. So here it carries on with the mistakes that keep being made. They ascribe it to Allah Almighty. “Had Allah willed, He would have made you all a single community.” Right. “But He leads astray whom He wills.” Whereas Allah Almighty left people free in their own will. According to their desires and wishes He wrote their wishes for them as destiny. Here, after Allah created people, over his, over man's own wish, Allah in no way, sir, by pressure or by giving him a [imposing] a fait accompli, He does not take him outside his own intent; He left him free in his own intent.

He left him free in his own will. And He never removes any person's will and uses His own will in any way over the person. He doesn't. If He did, He would use it over His prophet. Which prophet?

He would have used it on Prophet Jonah, peace be upon him. He would never have let him flee from there. He wouldn't have had him leave his homeland. But what did He do? When he left by his own will, He had him fall into the sea. After staying forty days in the belly of the fish he said: My Lord, I have wronged myself. Forgive me – when he said that, I brought him out onto land. So He does not remove any person's will and use His own will over that person. Because the matter is written and done. But here they always lay the blame on Allah Almighty. Then if Allah Almighty removes my will from me and Himself uses His will over me, if He sets my will aside, why did He make a covenant with me?

Many questions arise here. Yes. That's why they have translated many verses wrongly. They have always ascribed it to Allah Almighty. And what does it say besides? Let's read this part again too. “Had Allah willed, He would have made us all a single community. But He leads astray whom He wills. And He guides whom He wills to the right path.” Oh, how nice. Then why did He send prophets? Why did He send books? Look, what does it say at the start too? “Had Allah willed, He would have made you all a single community.” Beautifully said. So then, although You left people free in their own will, why this time do You guide whom You will to the right path, and whom You don't – how absurd.

There are sentences here that don't fit together. And what's this? They were supposedly explaining the verses of the Quran. Whereas look, what does it say here? “Had Allah willed, He would have made you all a single community.” Right. “But He,” but then, “whoever of them wills” – remove this and that from there. They translated it wrongly. They've done something there. “Whoever of them wills goes astray.” Look. The will is his own, isn't it. “Whoever of them wills goes astray. And whoever wills enters the right path.” Do prophets come? Did books come? Did the heirs of the prophets come? Did scholars come? What do they say?

O people! There is no god but Allah. The whole universe, from the atom to the globe, is the creation of Allah Almighty. And in the world, people are in a guesthouse; a temporary guesthouse is a place to stay. So that everyone proves in this guesthouse what kind of person he is, With our Lord's being free of deficient attributes, He sent people into the world. In this case, never stray to anything other than Allah, do not stray from the right path. Do they say it? They do. Well, those who say yes to this find the right path. Allah isn't the one leading them, look. They find the right path. And those who turn their back on it leave themselves in darkness.

Where is Allah's willing in this?

Now what does it say? “Had Allah willed, He would have made you all a single community. But whoever of them wills goes astray, and whoever wills enters the right path. You will surely be held responsible for what you did.” Look how beautifully it says it. Surely responsible for what you did – here too it says so anyway. “You will surely be held responsible for what you did.” Now, “He leads astray whom He wills. And He guides whom He wills to the right path, it says. Now, Allah led astray whom He willed. Let's say, Allah forbid, He led me astray.

Well, would I then have something to say to Allah Almighty or not? I would. Who created me? I'd say. You created me. There is no other god. He is Your servant, and I am Your servant too. Why did You guide him to the right path and show him the truth, and make me end up in the fire as one of the people of Hell? What is my sin? You should have left me in my own will; I would have known You. But You led me astray. My mind and my strength are no match for Your power. So what do You want from me? – I'd say, that is. Well, no one will be able to say this. He is free in his own will.

Isn't that so, Dervish? Of course. If people knew this, they wouldn't walk around stark naked. They wouldn't uncover their private parts and walk about in public. Even animals have their private parts covered. Yes.

Those who believe in this deceptive, lying world and turn the abode of eternal bliss into the fire of Hell. Those who seek the place of which He says: what an evil place of return it is.

Yes.
