The misinterpretation

But as for the one who repents, believes and does good works, it is hoped that he will be among the successful ones.

The right translation

But those who repent, believe, and commit salih (righteous) deeds, they can hope (and trust in Allah’s Tawwab - Forgiving side) to be among those who reach salvation.

Explanation

The wrong opening here is this: As for the one who believes and does good deeds, it is hoped that he will be among the people of salvation. The truth is: As for those who believe and do righteous deeds, they will be among the Survivors (trusting in Allah's Tawwab).

It is hoped that our Lord will not use His word. When they opened the Verses, they repeated the same Verses in the same way, always referring to our Lord. We put the footnotes of the verses we have already written under the repeated verses as a repetition.

Our Lord does not use the words "hopefully" or "perhaps" or "may be" when forgiving the sins or the lives of people. Hopefully means that He is unaware of the future, that He will evaluate people according to their situation, and that He will try people and decide accordingly, even if they are hypocrites, without being aware of their situation. However, he should use the word Ta ki here. Ta ki is a demonstrative pronoun. Since our Lord knows that there will be Muslims in a tribe, it is a matter of giving them the opportunity of a unit of time.

The meaning of "hopefully" or "perhaps" is: I will look at your situation and if you are well, I will bring you to salvation or relief. However, our Lord made a covenant with human beings after the Elestu bi Rabbikum address and wrote their desires and wishes as their destiny. These realms are programmed until the Day of Judgment. In this case, instead of "hopefully" or "perhaps", we should use the indicative pronoun "until", which refers to those in a people who will convert to Islam and within a given time frame. That is why our Lord does not use the words hopefully, perhaps or maybe. It is hoped, or perhaps it will happen, that his word will adjectivize our Lord.

Since our Lord has the attribute of Tawwab, the word "hopefully among those who are guided" prejudices the attribute of Tawwab. There is no other door to go to except Allah. Our Lord also calls people to guidance and salvation. Accordingly, those who are guided from among the people, since the word of our Lord says that we speak the truth, we always speak the truth, and since there is no deficiency in the word of Allah, when we repent and turn to the truth, trusting in our Lord, we will be among those who are saved.

When a person passes into the hereafter as a sinner with the light of Islam, even if he enters Hell, because he passed into the hereafter as a Muslim, he will be punished in Hell and go to Paradise. This person has attained salvation. He is saved from eternal life in hell.

What is said in the video

In verse 67 of Surah Al-Qasas too there are mistakes. We are reading the wrong version here. But as for one who repents, believes and does good deeds, it is hoped he will be among the successful, it says. Go ahead. Here it ascribes a flaw to Allah Almighty. What does it say? But as for one who repents, believes and does good deeds — as for him, this one is now (?) a Muslim. For him there is no longer the word 'it is hoped'. The word 'it is hoped' has been removed. Because Allah knows. He knows he will be a Muslim too.

Here it will use the word (?). What have we said about it?

Here: but as for one who repents, believes and does good deeds, it is hoped he will be among the successful, it says. Whereas it says: but as for one who repents, believes and does good deeds, they, trusting in Allah's attribute At-Tawwab, being among the successful, being, being — this they can hope for. The people themselves. He repented, after all. Since he himself repented, as Allah, by His attribute At-Tawwab, accepts repentance and will accept it, that their repentance may come to be (?) accepted, they can hope. The people. Otherwise, by repenting he cannot say: I am saved. But he finds salvation.

He is a Muslim. He has affirmed with his tongue and confirmed with his heart. In this case this person, his repentance accepted, among the servants forgiven by Allah Almighty, who accepts repentance abundantly, can hope to be. Yes.
