The misinterpretation
Those who have been informed know that what has been revealed to you (the Quran) from your Lord is the truth, and they see that it guides to the path of the victorious and worthy of praise.
The right translation
Those granted knowledge recognize that what has been revealed to you is truly from your Lord, and it is the Truth. They realize it guides to the path of Allah—the Almighty (Al-Azeez), the Praiseworthy (Al-Hameed).
Explanation
This is the wrong place in this verse: They see that (Allah) guides. Verily: They see (Allah) showing the way.
The Qur'an does not guide man to the path of Allah. Our Lord, who made a covenant with all human beings in the address Elestu bi Rabbikum, would have guided people to the right path. But by leaving people free to follow their own desires and wishes, people have chosen their own paths of their own will.
In this case, our Lord sent the Qur'an to show people the truth. In this case, either the person voluntarily follows the path shown by the Qur'an, whatever his covenant is, or, if his covenant was given by a disbeliever, he does not believe in the Qur'an and turns his back on it.
What is said in the video
Yes, in verse 6 of Surah Saba there is a mistake. Here we are reading the wrong one. "Those who have been given knowledge know that what has been sent down to you from their Lord, the Quran, is the truth." Here, when it says those who have been given knowledge, it is not knowledge taken from Ahmet or Mehmet.
It is people raised by Allah Almighty.
In verse 7 of Surah Al Imran, Allah Almighty, in the verse where He says "ve'r-râsihûn", the people He calls kneaded with Allah's knowledge, people who have reached the state of certain knowledge in the contented soul, "those who have been given knowledge know that what has been sent down to you from your Lord, the Quran, is the truth." How do they know? Because Allah Almighty raised him Himself and when he hears the verses he knows it is the word of Allah.
"They see that it leads to the path of Allah, the Almighty, the Praiseworthy," it says. They see. Now here it is right up to the end, at the end one word is wrong. What does it say? "They see that it leads to the path of Allah." Now here the person's will has been removed. Another will has come into play. It led him to the path. Whereas here: they see that it shows the path of Allah. Not that it leads. Allah Almighty shows people the way. When it says it led, that meaning attributes a quality to Allah. How does it? Now if Allah's verses lead me, or Allah Almighty leads me, and I act against the verses, if I cannot reach that level, then that means Allah's power was not enough to lead me to that place.
That is why Allah shows people the way. He leads no one to anything. If He had led them, He would have abolished the covenants. In verse 172 of Surah Al-A'raf Allah Almighty says, "We made a covenant with those who would (?) from the offspring of the children of Adam." "We made them witnesses over their own selves." Now in this case every person made a covenant with Allah Almighty. His covenant became the person's own destiny. Within his covenant Allah Almighty forced no one and did not interfere with them. He only helped them. Come, do it this way, do it that way. But whatever the person wanted, He gave him what he wanted as his wish.
And He wrote his destiny according to that wish. And He never interferes with people on earth again. If He interfered, Allah Almighty would destroy the people who shed so much Muslim blood. Yes. Here: they see that it shows the path of Allah, the Praiseworthy, it says. Not "they see that it leads to the path of Allah". Nothing, Allah Almighty leads no person to any path with His words. He only shows people the way with His words. The people who made a covenant with Allah Almighty in the address "Am I not your Lord?", within their own will, using their own will, train themselves on the path of Allah's verses.
And the others move away from the verses. And there is a verse about this. Well, Allah Almighty says, the Quran, the believer's faith, to the believer a healing it becomes. And of the non-Muslim, He says, his slander or his denial, He says, it strengthens.
In the Holy Quran, when Allah Almighty says it increases the believer's faith, the person (?), "fe ashâbü'l-meymeneti mâ ashâbü'l-meymeneh", O those of the right, glad tidings to you, those whom Allah Almighty addresses so, who gave a good covenant to Him, there, the Quran increases the believer's faith, and of the disbeliever it increases his kufr. When He said, "I am your Lord", "ve ashâbü'l-meş'emeti mâ ashâbü'l-meş'emeh", those of the left, woe to you, the people He addresses so. The Quran increases their kufr. Yes.
