The misinterpretation

We certainly gave David an advantage from our side. O mountains and birds! We said to glorify with him. We softened him the iron.

The right translation

Vow to that; David possessed superiority from Our side. We said, “Oh mountains and birds! Exalt (Allah) with him.” We softened the iron for him.

Explanation

This is where the mistake is made: We gave David a favor from Us, verily: David had an advantage over us.

When they open the verses, they make all the work done by the will of our Lord. There are two wills, a Universal will and a Lesser will. Our Lord created these worlds with His knowledge and programmed them until doomsday. He will not create anything more after that. In this case, He has also made a covenant with human beings. He will not interfere in the destiny of human beings. In this case, if people are placed in a position by our Lord, it shows that their degree of faith in our Lord is great and that they have a faith that is above their faith in other people. In this case, by obeying the servants of our Lord, the Prophets or the scholars, people do not fail to respect and obey that person and recognize his greatness. In this case, it is wrong to open the verse in the wrong way and say that We gave Dawud a superiority from Our side. Opening the verse in this way raises questions in people's minds. It goes as far as saying that if He had given me superiority, I would have been like him. However, our Lord has the attribute of Allah and no one will be able to question Him. The correct opening of the verse is: David had a superiority on our side.

What is said in the video

In verse 10 of Surah Saba too there is a mistake. "By oath, We gave David a superiority from Us," it says, to David. Now here in the verse, the Jews, "we will not make David," they say, "a ruler over ourselves," they say. Sir, in this case Allah says, He chose him (?) over you, He says. Whereas the way these words are put here is wrong. It is not choosing. He was superior to you. As a result of his covenant. Now here the wrong one says it like this anyway: "By oath, We gave David a superiority from Us," it says. Now what happens? He has chosen David. Sir, whereas: by oath, David, from Us, David had a superiority from Us, it says.

Not "We gave a superiority". He had a superiority. With what? Closeness to Allah Almighty by the person's own will. The reward of the covenant he gave Him. Yes.

We continue reading the wrong one. "By oath, We gave David a superiority from Us. O mountains and birds! Glorify along with him, We said. We softened iron for him," it says. So here: by oath, David, from Us, David had a superiority from Us. O mountains and birds! Glorify along with him, We said. We softened iron for him. There was a couplet here, about David. "With the mountains and stones let me glorify, let me remember You, my Lord." At dawn, it says. "With the birds let me remember You, my Lord." He had the sounds that matter gives off. Which sounds?

At the root of all matter, magnetic or anti-magnetic, there are neutrons and protons, electrons. When these electrons spin around their own axis, they give off a sound. That sound remembers Allah Almighty. So by making all matter remember Him in this way, He proved that there is no god other than Allah. Just as He proved there is no other god by all matter remembering Him, as if He took out the patent on every atom of this universe. That there is no god other than Him. So the ear not hearing some signals, people not perceiving some electronic signals, hearing some sounds does not mean the ear hears every sound.

So if He opens that frequency to David, he knows how the mountains and stones remember. Just as Solomon also had the language to speak with birds and wolves. Yes.
