The misinterpretation
We made them leaders who showed the right way according to our command. We inspired them to do good deeds, to perform prayers and to give alms. They were always our worshipers.
The right translation
They were the leaders, who followed (Allah’s) orders, and showed the right path. We revealed to them; to commit deeds of goodness, to establish the prayer and to pay obligatory alm. They were always worshipping Us.
Explanation
This is where this verse goes wrong. And We made them leaders guiding the way according to Our command. Verily: They were the rightly guided leaders who obeyed (Allah's) command.
Our Lord does not do injustice by discriminating between His servants. Our Lord, who created all human beings in the realm of Lahut, when He told them that I am your Lord, our souls were divided into three classes there. In Verse 7 of Surah Al-Taqi'a, all the people who come from each other are divided into three classes. (Fa ashabul meymenati ma ashabul meymeneh) Happy are those on the right (Wa ashabul meşamati ma ashabul meşebeh) How unfortunate are those on the left. (Wessabikunessabikun) Those who are ahead (in good deeds) are ahead (in reward).
In this case, our Lord made a covenant with His servants individually. He has written the will of each person as his destiny. Those who open the verses by discriminating between people, open them by accusing our Lord of injustice by characterizing Him with incomplete attributes. This shows that knowing Arabic alone is not enough to open the verses of the Qur'an. Because the word of our Lord is based on letters. That is why He says, "We have revealed it in Arabic so that the Qur'an may be better understood." What does this mean? What does this mean? Even if you read this in Arabic, you will not be able to comprehend the meaning of some verses.
In this case, people who have not seen Verse 172 of Surah A'raf, which will cut the root of superstition, spiritually, and who are not steeped in the knowledge of our Lord, cannot explain the meanings of these Verses by knowing Arabic. In this case, they open it by attributing it to our Lord. Our Lord raises a Qutbul Aqtab every two hundred years to remove the superstitions that have entered the religion and keep it going until the Day of Judgment. This is the equivalent of the following verse. Do they think that they can extinguish the light of Allah with the blowing of their mouths? Allah will continue His light until the Day of Resurrection.

In verse 73 of Surah Al-Anbiya too it was translated wrongly. We made them leaders guiding to the right path by Our command. Them. We revealed to them to do good deeds, to perform the prayer and to give zakat. They were people who always worshipped Us, it says. Who are these? Them: a certain group. Whereas "they" and "them" are different, "they" is different. When it says "them", it means those; when I say "they", everyone comes into it. "Them": the men of Ahmet, of Mehmet; "they": the men of all people, that is, the men of all leaders, or the men of all peoples. Now: "We made them, by Our command," it says, "leaders guiding to the right path." Whereas they were leaders guiding to the right path in accordance with Allah's command.
Now Allah does not tell them, those people, "you will do it like this." He sends His command to all people; those people turn to Allah's command. Now let's compare this rendering here again with the crooked (?) one. We made them leaders guiding to the right path by Our command, it says. Whereas they were leaders who followed Allah's command and guided to the right path. Now, leaders who follow Allah's command and guide to the right path are one thing. Saying "We made those groups, by Our command, leaders guiding to the right path" is another. That is, He is giving you a duty. He says: you show these people what is right.
Whereas here they are people who entered what is right by Allah's command. There is a distinction here. Allah sent His command to everyone. Within this whole are those who follow Allah Almighty's command and those who don't. That is, the wretched and the God-fearing. Now I'll read it once more so that it's (?) better. We made them leaders guiding to the right path by Our command, it says. Here too, they were leaders guiding to the right path in accordance with Allah's command. Allah has made His command known. And in that command He made known, people pass Allah's commands to them as leaders. Like whom? Just as the Prophet receives Allah's command and conveys it to people.
Then the heirs of the Prophet, the scholars, what do they do? Allah's commands they convey to people; or those who know those commands, well, don't those people tell people: look, look, this is Allah's path? We are all Muslims, but who are the ones who speak? Scholars; otherwise these are people whom Allah has given a duty; they show Allah's paths to people. Yes. To perform the prayer and give zakat We revealed. They were people who always worshipped Us, it says. Who are these? Those whom Allah has given a duty, that is, those devoted to Allah with all their heart. Where is this matter settled?
From 'Alastu bi-Rabbikum'. There, what everyone will do is set. Because the destinies have been written. Until the Day of Judgement, to which people, which person, which scholar will come? To which people, which prophet? Well, with which command he will come is set in Allah's hand; Allah speaks according to these here. Yes.
