Ar-Rum 30: (Oh, My Messenger!) Turn your face steadily towards religion as a Haneef, the creation of Allah. Allah has created human nature accordingly (Befitting to Islam) and given them their own will. None can change Allah’s creation. This is the absolute true religion, but most of humankind doesn’t know.

The misinterpretation

(My Messenger) You listen to your face as a hanif. Turn them to whatever nature Allah has created people for. There is no change in God's creation. This is the true religion. But most people don't know.

The right translation

(Oh, My Messenger!) Turn your face steadily towards religion as a Haneef, the creation of Allah. Allah has created human nature accordingly (Befitting to Islam) and given them their own will. None can change Allah’s creation. This is the absolute true religion, but most of humankind doesn’t know.

Explanation

This is where this verse goes wrong: Turn to whatever nature Allah has created mankind with. The truth is: He created mankind (free in their wills) upon (the religion of Islam).

Our Lord did not create human beings with several religions. He has created all human beings on the basis of one religion, Islam. But because people were left free to their own will at Kalu Bela, when they made a covenant with our Lord, they denied our Lord and waited for the Lord of their own imagination. In this respect, they abandoned the religion of Islam and disbelieved in our Lord of their own will and desire.

Allah (swt) says to the Prophet (s.a.w.), "I have freed you of your own free will to follow the religion of Islam according to the nature in which my Lord has created human beings, that is, I have freed you to know My Essence. But many of the people betrayed me at Kalu Bela when I said, 'I am your Lord'. So turn your face towards the religion of Islam. His address to the Prophet (PBUH) is actually an address to human beings.

What is said in the video

...those who have created. In the thirtieth verse it has been translated wrongly. My Messenger, set your face as a hanif toward the religion, whatever fitrah Allah created people upon, turn to that.

Here there is a very different meaning. What is that fitrah meaning?

Whatever fitrah He created them upon, He turns them to that. Here it means He created people upon one single fitrah. He Himself is sending them to kufr (?). And if people are upon that fitrah, it says to all of them: be wary (?) of their kufr too, that is. That is the meaning it takes here. What does it say? Whatever fitrah Allah created people upon, turn to that. There is no change in Allah's creation. That is the upright religion. But most people do not know. Now we read the correct one here. My Messenger, to what Allah created, as a hanif, yourself toward the religion set straight. Set yourself toward the religion. He created people upon the religion of Islam, free in their will.

I'm explaining this part now. He created people upon the religion of Islam, free in their will. No one has the power to change what Allah created. That is the upright religion. But most people do not know. Yes. Here: upon the religion of Islam, He created them free in their will. In their will. If you want, you can step outside it by your will. That is, upon that Islam, upon the religion, toward there, toward Islam, the religion of Islam. He left people free in their will upon the religion of Islam. He created all people free.

No one has the power to change what Allah created.

That is the upright religion, but most people do not know. If He has left those He created free in their will upon the religion of Islam, you do not have the power to change this religion, says Allah Almighty. You don't have the power. Because in a verse it says they try to extinguish Allah's light with their tongues. But Allah will keep His religion going until the Day of Judgment. He will keep it going. And here, Allah His religion until the Day of Judgment, what does it say there, will He keep it alive, something like that. It says He will complete it. Yes. Allah will complete His religion until the Day of Judgment.

Now when you write (?) 'will complete', the religion is already complete. The Prophet (peace be upon him) too, He sent the Quran as a mercy to the worlds. In this Quran that came as a mercy, Allah Almighty, that is, will He send another prophet separately? Or will He send another book separately? That you say He will complete His religion. So is the Quran incomplete? Whereas in the Quran Allah Almighty says this: everything wet and dry is in the Quran. The Book in the sight of Allah is the Quran. It is preserved in the Preserved Tablet. After that, it says, nothing is added to it and nothing is taken away.

So since nothing will be added or taken away, it says they were written by the pure hands of angels. Now why does it say they were written by the pure hands of angels? Now there is a point here too. So that those who deny Allah won't say: who knows, when Allah Almighty was writing, didn't He write it to suit Himself? That is, so they won't say: didn't He make changes there? Angels are exactly like robots. Whatever you tell them, they memorize it. That's why whatever is told to it, it writes down here. No changing it ever again. Whether He wrote it with His own hand or had the angels write it, this has become fixed.

In this case, it says, nothing is taken from it and nothing added. In this case, what does this say?

There is no change in what Allah created. There is no change in what Allah created. It's true. There is no change in what Allah created, but whatever fitrah Allah created people upon, He has them turn their face to that. Whatever fitrah He created them upon. And people: upon the Christian fitrah, another upon Abraham's religion, upon whatever religions; the fitrahs differ. When you say turn to all of them upon these fitrahs, in this way you end up laying a groundwork for the religions. Indeed: whatever fitrah Allah created people upon, turn to that. There are many religions. Turn to those religions' fitrahs too.

If they are Christian, you follow them too. If they are Hebrew, follow them as well. After that it says, there is no change in Allah's creation. That is the upright religion. In one verse he says: inda-llahi-l-Islam. Those who come upon the religion of Islam are the exception. But most people do not know. And what do we say? To what Allah created, as a hanif, set yourself toward the religion. He created people upon the religion of Islam, free in their will. Upon the religion of Islam. He created them free in their will. Is this word 'will' (?) here? Sir, (?) has created. No one has the power to change what Allah created.

That is the upright religion. But most people do not know. Allah Almighty does not interfere with the people He has given their will to, and no one can change that, He says. Unless I will it, no one can will it, He says. What does this mean? Only this. I change people's destinies, He says. I can change them. Because I loaded them, He says, according to their wishes. But a word has also come from Me. What is it? Paradise and Hell. So what is written is written, written. The pens that wrote are broken. There is no more change after this.
