The misinterpretation

Surely, we have made the deeds of those who do not believe in the Hereafter appear fancy to them, so they will falter.

The right translation

Verily, the deeds of those who don’t believe in the hereafter appeared attractive to them. Therefore, they keep struggling.

Explanation

This Verse has also been misinterpreted from the beginning. Our Lord does not punish anyone by glamorizing people's evil deeds in order to punish them. This is because our Lord's mercy exceeds His wrath. Our Lord is Tawwab, waiting for people to turn from their evil deeds, to repent and return to Him. In this case, the true meaning of the verse is as follows. Verily, the deeds of those who do not believe in the Hereafter have been made to look good to them. That's why they flounder.

What is said in the video

Elephants killing ants. And ants kill elephants. Yes.

In the fourth verse there is a wrong translation. Indeed, those who do not believe in the hereafter, We made their deeds seem adorned to them. That is why they keep floundering. Now, Allah Almighty makes nothing seem adorned to people. Least of all the things that draw man to themselves and distance him from Allah. At the head of these, one, comes the devil. What does it say? He is your enemy, do not incline to him. Two, comes man's nafs. Do not, it says, follow your nafs. Because the nafs never, on the path Allah wants, acts in a way that consents to it. Always the opposite. Three, the world drags man into a swamp; it looks beautiful.

Allah Almighty explains these to us very well. Our enemies. Well, now if Allah had made these seem adorned, I would say, I am honestly a bit (?). Because we will talk with Allah Almighty there. There we have no lawyer. Look, like in the world: Gülay, come be my lawyer, Ahmet, come be my lawyer; there's none of that. What is there? The person will speak directly. Directly; today, in places ruled by sharia law, in Saudi Arabia too, there's no lawyer. The person goes before the emir (?), he himself speaks, tells his trouble himself. Yes, I would go before Allah Almighty, and what would I say? You are the Creator, You program as You wish.

If You made these, the enemies whose program You created, seem adorned to us, and I followed You and went along with what You made seem adorned, what is my sin? Is it me? No one will be able to question Allah Almighty. That is Allah's attribute, understood. All the questions people would ask, Allah will pass over. And Allah does not explain His verses to people wrongly like this. The correct version: indeed, to those who do not believe in the hereafter, their deeds seem adorned to them. To people, persons who do not believe in the hereafter, adorned, that is, they seem adorned to them. Their deeds seem adorned to them.

That is why they keep floundering. Of course, things will seem adorned to them. To get it, they will keep (?). No one will believe in Allah. They will turn their back on the Prophet. They will close their ears to what Allah said. Isn't it like that today? The world seems adorned to them. And the nafs has taken hold of them. Just as you can't hold the reins of a bolting horse, it drags the person behind it. And that nafs that should tell him to stop, and faith, he has thrown behind him. He's going at full gallop. May Allah grant safety. Let's see how far they will go. Allah is giving them little warnings, bit by bit.

He sends floods, He sends earthquakes, He sends fires. He sends them, that is. He sends. Look, He's been sending viruses for years. Everyone is looking for a hole to escape into. Yes. But how well our ancestors put it: to one who understands, a mosquito is a saz; to one who doesn't, drums and pipes are too little. Yes.
