The misinterpretation

It is certain that Allah has driven the unbelievers out of His mercy and a wild fire has been prepared for them.

The right translation

Verily, Allah has damned blasphemers (who continue in their rebellion), and for them, a blazing fire has been prepared.

Explanation

This verse has been misunderstood from the beginning. They say: Verily, Allah has expelled the disbelievers from His mercy and for them is prepared a mad Fire. Our Lord does not expel anyone out of His mercy. His mercy has exceeded His wrath. The correct version of the verse is as follows: Verily, the disbelievers (who continue in rebellion) are cursed by Allah. A fierce Fire is prepared for them. Those who enter the Hereafter as non-Muslims will be deprived of the mercy of our Lord. Because when our Lord removes His mercy from people who are in eternal hell, no human being, including the Prophets, will intercede for such people and they will remain there as eternal inmates of hell.

What is said in the video

4-26 (?), verse 64: "Surely indeed..." I am reading the wrong one. "Surely Allah has driven the disbelievers away from His mercy and a raging fire has been prepared for them," it says. Now Allah has not driven anyone away from His mercy. Now according to this verse, this verse would contradict it. It would make Allah's word a lie. He says, "My mercy has surpassed My wrath," He says, "My mercy has embraced the universe." Which of them has He driven away from His mercy? This Quran He sent as a light to the worlds. You may be in darkness, you may be a non-Muslim, you may be an idol worshipper, you may have seen it like this from your mother and father. Like Abraham, who, although his father was an idol worshipper, removed himself from his father with contentment and left, although he grew up among an idol-worshipping people, did Allah take His mercy away from Abraham?

How wrongly they render the verses. "Surely the disbelievers who persist in rebellion incur Allah's curse. A severe fire has been prepared for them."

In verse 131 of Surah Al Imran He says: do not head towards the fire prepared for the disbelievers.
