The misinterpretation

For (on that day) Allah will reward them with the best of what they have done and will give them more out of His grace. Allah provides for whom He wills without reckoning.

The right translation

For Allah will reward them with the most beautiful of what they have done and give to them abundantly from Allah’s blessings. Allah gives countless provisions to those who desire (in their covenant with Allah).

Explanation

This is where this verse goes wrong: Allah sustains whom He wills without calculation. Verily: He provides for whomsoever He wills (among you in your destinies) without calculation.

Since our Lord's wish is not upon human beings, we have explained this in detail in the 172nd Verse of Surah A'râf. However, we put the meaning of wishing under some verses as a repetition.

In this Verse, as they always make the same mistake, they opened the Verse by blaming our Lord. In this Verse, we have written that our Lord has no will over people, that every soul has made a covenant with our Lord, and that people's desires and wishes are written to them as destiny and that this will never change again, and in this case, our Lord has no will over people. It is explained in detail in Verse 172 of Surah A'râf. Why were we created, where were we created, why did He make a covenant with mankind and why did He send us into the world even though He knew what we were? You can get information there.

We have explained the meaning of provision without calculation under many verses and I find it useful to repeat it here. Provision without calculation: When people make a covenant with our Lord in Kalu Bela, whatever they ask from our Lord, our Lord gives it to them without any calculation, without restricting even an iota of what they ask for. This is what a person asks of our Lord and our Lord gives that person what he or she wants without withholding even an iota of what he or she wants, and He gives them what they ask for completely and without calculation, so that the person does not say to our Lord that if you had given me exactly what I asked for, I would not have lacked in my worship towards you.

What is said in the video

Verse 38: For on that day Allah will reward them with the best of what they did. Correct. Which thing in the world... It reads the wrong version, but this part is correct. What is the most beautiful thing a person did in the world? With what did he please Allah Almighty? He will judge by that, and raise the other good deeds up to that deed's reward, and so He will give. How beautiful.

And He will give them abundantly from His grace. From His grace. Allah provides for whom He wills without measure. Allah provides for the one who wills it without measure. Not 'whom He wills'. The willing here ascribes an attribute to Allah. It attributes something to Him. Because: You willed it for him, You gave him so much mercy. Had You willed it for me too, had You given me this much health too, my rank too would have been like this. He would say that. So, to keep him from saying that: it is everyone's willing. His own willing. Does a person wish for hell? Come on, who would wish for hell? Your Lord who created you tells you: do not drink alcohol, do not gamble, do not commit adultery.

Do not kill a man, sir. If you do these things and become subject to punishment, did you take yourself to the gallows? Did you leave yourself subject to punishment? Or did the judge punish you? Now, in this case Allah, the Owner of the worlds, has made His law known to us. This law: an eye for an eye, (a nose) for the ear, an ear for an ear, sir, a tooth for a tooth. That is, retaliation in kind. Whomever you kill, they will kill you in turn. With such a law He protects you, your life, your property, your honour. But if you turn your back on Allah, I have neither life, nor property, nor honour.

Today a woman leaves her husband, leaves her child, and goes. The man comes, sir, on the one called Esra Erol, there, we don't like it, you know, it shows people all the evils anyway. Sir, he says, my wife left, he says, this and that, if she regrets it, he says, let her come back, I will take her back, he says. You know, there used to be a folk song. (?) (?) Today we see this. The seeds of those, of those folk songs. Yes. Is this now a human being's honour? An animal, an animal protects its mate. There are seagulls that live with one mate until they die. There are animals, birds. They live with one mate.

Allah created the honour of man. This is man's human dignity. Yes. One feels ashamed. Under this dome of the sky, such a person who does not know himself, does not fear Allah, is not ashamed before the Prophet, has no idea of the Book, says 'I am a Muslim' but does not know the letter I of Islam, runs after his carnal desires, running after them like a bolting horse, has taken his satanic feelings as his guide, and with them lies down and rises day and night, a person from whom even Satan has moved away; living under the same dome with him, we are now ashamed, you know. Yes. Allah provides for the one who wills it without measure, not 'whom He wills'.
