The misinterpretation

When we replace a verse with another verse, Allah knows very well what He will send down. They said you are only a slanderer. No, most of them do not know.

The right translation

When We reinforce a verse with another verse (Allah knows the best what to reveal), they said; “You are only but a slanderer!” No, most of them don’t know!

Explanation

This is the verse that has been misinterpreted here: When We substitute one Verse for another. The truth is: When We supplement a Verse with another Verse. Because they have opened this verse incorrectly, they have characterized our Lord in many ways. 1- Our Lord erases some of His words in the course of time, realizing that what He has written correctly is wrong, and He writes the correct words again according to Himself. 2- Since our Lord does not know what people will do in the future, He sends His judgment to people according to the time. 3- In this case, since they do not understand the verses of our Lord, they say that there is prohibition in the Qur'an. They equate the infidel and the polytheist. They do not know what kafir and mushrik mean. Kafir is the People of the Book. A polytheist does not recognize Allah, the Book or the Prophet. Our Lord, do not marry polytheists, they call you to the Fire. But He says you can marry infidels. These people, who cannot distinguish between a kafir and a polytheist, write Qur'anic verses and say that Allah has annulled this verse with this verse and they attribute our Lord.

What is said in the video

Surah An-Nahl, verse 101. I'm now reading the wrongly translated one. “When We bring one verse in place of another verse” – ooh, how nice. Why did I say how nice? Who will quote a verse in response to this? Whatever We said in pre-eternity, in eternity too it is that, He says. Now look. There is another verse. Who will say it?

About the Prophet (peace be upon him): he does not speak idly. If the Prophet (peace be upon him) does not speak idly, then Allah Almighty, here, “when We bring one verse in place of another verse”, then either You put a hardship on that earlier community and afterwards realised that the community was burdened. You realised You had made a mistake. Then You went back on the mistake. You gained experience. You changed Your verse. You changed Your verse. You brought us such a verse. What happened? There is naskh (abrogation), they say, according to this. There is no naskh in the Quran. Because those men don't understand, they say naskh.

They say: you may marry the People of the Book. But you may not marry a polytheist, it says. Look, they say. Allah Almighty replaced this verse with that one, they say. That person is unaware of Allah's verse, heedless and ignorant. He does not understand the meaning of Allah's verse. The People of the Book know Allah. They know the Prophet. But because, out of stubbornness, they deny the Prophet (peace be upon him) because he does not know, since he denies — calling Jesus the son of Allah, and Mary, too, Mary – His wife, they fall into the state of unbelief. Well, the polytheist – who is a polytheist? He believes neither in Allah nor in a book nor in a prophet.

So Allah Almighty says: do not marry polytheists; polytheists, He says, call you to the Fire, while your Lord, He says, calls you to Paradise. Those verses are (?) – which verse do you say abrogated which verse? If you don't understand the meanings of the verse, if you are unaware of the verse, how can you say that Allah abrogated? That He changed His own word, contradicting Himself? Shame on them, really. Shame on them indeed. And then, of course, they'll say that in the non-Muslim thing too there are superstitions. They'll say there are superstitions in the religion of Islam too. That's their aim anyway.

Yes. “When We bring one verse in place of another – and Allah knows very well what He will send down. He knows very well what He will send down – ‘You are but a fabricator,’ they said. The non-Muslims. No, most of them do not know,” it says. Now: “When We reinforce one verse with another verse”, it says. He is not changing it, look. He reinforces it. What does this reinforcement mean? Tell me. When We send them so that they support one another. In the sense of: when We send them so that they support one another. The verses to one another – Allah Almighty sends His verses according to human intellect.

According to human intellect. The Ten Commandments He sent to Moses, the Psalms He sent to David, the Gospel He sent to Jesus (peace be upon him) – He sends people the verses according to their time. The more opened-up form of the same verse – according to the time, according to the development of people's intellect, He shows the verses, the same verse, with other meanings, in a more developed form. The same verses are all within the Holy Quran. What does He do? With the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), as the Seal of the Prophets, when He sent the Prophet (peace be upon him), when He sent him, since He would send no prophet again, intellects came into play; until the Day of Judgement man is now in a position to comprehend the Holy Quran.

Allah Almighty sends all His verses in the most developed form in the Quran. Now, the Torah is here, the Psalms within this, the Gospel within this – are there verses contradicting one another? No. So what is there? To him He gives ten commandments. To this one He gives fifty commandments. That one gives this one two hundred commandments. to us, along with all the religious rulings, because civilization has advanced (?) – “We do not load on your back a burden you cannot bear” – in line with that verse, Allah Almighty, sending His verses to people according to the time, each one clearer, plainer and more detailed than the one before – He sends them so. What does the person who can't understand that say?

“When We bring one verse in place of another” – which verse did Allah make us forget and bring us another verse? Shame on them, really.

Well, if that's so, a verse – when He says, “when We bring one verse in place of another”, which verse does this word contradict?

This is Allah's law like this from pre-eternity. With Us there is a book preserved in the Preserved Tablet. To it, from it, nothing is added and nothing is taken away.

All the verses support one another, my child. Serving what mind have they translated the verses wrongly like this?

But how nicely we said it there, didn't we? You, we said, are responsible. Nobody knows me. But 72 million hang on your words.

We want the words coming from your mouths not to contradict each other. Yes. Since you are people who have reached the highest position on Allah Almighty's earth, then where you hear the truth you are obliged to write the truth. Obliged.

Otherwise you are responsible. Yes.
