The misinterpretation

Are there those who do not believe in the verses of Allah, surely Allah does not guide them, and for them is a painful chastisement,

The right translation

Those who don’t believe in Allah’s Verses, verily they cannot find the right path (as long as they are on that path). For them, there is a severe punishment.

Explanation

This is where this verse also goes wrong. Allah will not guide them. The truth is: they will not be guided (as long as they remain in that state). Our Lord has created human beings incomplete and faulty. In this case, too, Our Lord is Tawwab. Most accepting of repentance. Are there not people who disbelieve and become Muslims? Full! In that case, they have opened the verse wrongly. Since our Lord is Tawwab, the One who accepts repentance, it is impossible for a person not to be guided when he repents and returns to the truth.

If the door of repentance is open until the end of time, if a person repents and returns to the truth, when he goes to the Hereafter as an Islamic, if his sins are more than his good deeds, he will suffer for his sins in Hell and go to Paradise. But if he goes as an infidel, he will spend eternity in hell.

What is said in the video

Surah An-Nahl, verse 104: “As for those who do not believe in Allah's verses, surely Allah does not guide them to the right path, and for them there is a painful punishment,” it says. The same mistakes, the same omissions, because he learned it that way and will go on that way. Allah does not guide the community of unbelievers, you see – the same as their counterparts. What does it say? Allah does not guide them to the right path. Then, among them, those who go that way all go as unbelievers; there isn't a single Muslim among them. Well then, what does the verse say? Among them there are those who are Muslims but cannot make themselves known, it says. Yes. “As for those who do not believe in Allah's verses” – I'm reading the correct one now – “as long as they remain in that state, surely these will not find the right path.” Look how beautiful: they will not find it.

“For them there is a painful punishment.” Yes.
