The misinterpretation

So do not worship and invoke another god along with Allah, then you will be one of the tormented.

The right translation

Thus, do not worship anyone (so-called gods) but Allah. Otherwise, you would be among those who are punished.

What is said in the video

Is there anything else here? Not here. Nothing up to 206. We come to verse 213, Surah Ash-Shu'ara. So then, never worship and invoke another god together with Allah. What does it say? So then, never worship and invoke another god together with Allah, or you will be among those punished. Now he will translate this in good faith it means the idolaters. They regard that as a god. Whereas god: there is no deity other than Allah. In the sense of: do not associate partners with Allah. But he can't render it, he can't, and he says: Together with Allah do not worship and invoke another god. Then you will be among those punished.

Whereas he should render it like this: So then, there being no deity other than Allah, do not worship and invoke made-up gods. Then you will be among those punished.

This, in the singular, symbolises (?) Allah. Yes.
