The misinterpretation

If you had the treasure of my Lord's mercy, you would have narrowed it down for fear of being wasted. Mankind is also very tight-lipped.

The right translation

Say; “If you possessed the treasures in mercy of my Lord, (most of) you would refrain from fear of spending. Verily, such people are stingy.”

Explanation

This Verse has been opened wrongly from the beginning. It has been opened wrongly: "If you were in possession of the treasury of my Lord's mercy, you would have been tightfisted, fearing that it would be spent. And man is very tight-fisted." The truth is: "If you had possessed the treasures of Allah's creation in His mercy. (many people) would have been frugal out of fear that it would be spent. The hands of such people are very tight." This Verse has been opened incorrectly from the beginning. The correct one is the one marked in green. Verse 67 of Surat al-Isra has been opened with the same understanding. We copy it here.

Our Lord created human beings as the equal of creation. That is to say, He created them as the most honorable of creation. He also said: "Lekad haleknal insane fi ahseni calendar, that is, I have created man in the most beautiful form". Nevertheless, as it is said in the misquoted verse, "If you were in possession of the treasury of my Lord's mercy, you would cut back and cut back for fear that it would be spent. If it is said that mankind is also very tight-fisted, did He create all the people He created in such an honorable and beautiful form to be ungrateful? It means that He could never create man in a righteous morality, and if such Qur'anic verses are opened, they describe our Lord.

Our Lord is free from all deficient attributes. Our Lord has given a part of His soul to human beings. He has left human beings free in their will. In this case, He made a covenant with people at Kalu Bela. Everyone has dictated his own destiny according to what he has asked from our Lord. People are divided into three classes. The rightists, the leftists and the mukarrebun. In this case, since people are responsible for what they do of their own will, there are good and bad among them. You cannot put all these people in the bad category. No one can blame our Lord and say, "Son of man, if you had the treasure of my Lord's mercy, you would have cut and cut for fear that it would be spent. Mankind is also very tight-fisted. The correct opening of this verse is: "If you had possessed the treasures of Allah's creation in His mercy. (many people) would have cut back and cut back for fear that it would be spent. The hands of such people are very tight." Among human beings there are prophets, saints, scholars and martyrs. When people are given a blessing by our Lord, not all of them turn away and not all of them are tight-fisted. They surrender to our Lord.

What is said in the video

Surah Al-Isra, we have come to its verse 100. 'If you owned the treasury of my Lord's mercy, out of fear of it being spent you would hold back and hold back. Man is very tight-fisted,' it says. All of that is correct. 'Man is very tight-fisted' is wrong. 'Man is very tight-fisted.' Now, if man's hand is very tight, what do the Children of Israel say about Allah Almighty? 'Allah's hands are tight,' they say. 'May their hands be broken,' says Allah Almighty. 'Allah's hands are open wide,' He says. If Allah Almighty has made man a person of fame and renown, if honour and dignity are with Allah, are the hands of Allah's friends tight too?

So here we say it like this. 'The treasures Allah has created, within His mercy, if you had owned them,' it says. 'If you had.' For fear of it being spent, many people here — many people — would hold back and hold back. Such people are very tight-fisted. But only such people. Otherwise there are those who help. There are those who build mosques. There are those who do good deeds and charity. There are those who compete, sir, in helping people. There are foundation houses, Qurans (?).
