The misinterpretation

Say; My Lord gives abundant sustenance to whom He wills, and he curtails (from whom He wills); But most people don't know.

The right translation

Say, “My Lord gives abundant provisions to those who desire and decreases to those who desire (bound by their covenant).” But most people don’t know.

Explanation

We have written in many verses that our Lord has no will over mankind, and since the Qur'an refers to will as repetition, we are putting our footnote about will as repetition.

In this verse we have written that our Lord has no will over people, that every soul has made a covenant with our Lord, and that people's desires and wishes are written for them as destiny, and that this will never change, and in this case our Lord has no will over people. It is explained in detail in verse 172 of Surah A'raf. Why were we created, where were we created, why did He make a covenant with mankind and why did He send us into the world even though He knew what we were? You can get information from there.

What is said in the video

In the verse too there is a mistake. "Say: my Lord gives abundant provision to whom He wills, and restricts it for whom He wills. But most people do not know," it says. Now, we said that Allah Almighty's willing does not lie over people. Here Allah Almighty gives abundant provision to whom He wills, and from whom He wills He restricts it. Now in this case Allah Almighty is committing injustice. Well, I wish for it too, to me too, a trillion, sir, if You gave me trillions I would help people too and I'd say I barely got by myself. As You gave to him, if You had given to me too, I'd have worshipped You nicely, I'd say.

I mean, whereas there He shows abundant provision to whoever wishes. Where he will go, how he will do it, what he will do. He even shows the worlds in the realm of the Hereafter, the setting he will go to. With what? Suppose today I showed you the capitals of America, France, Germany, England. Come on, let's see. Which of these cities, cities do you want to go to? Whichever one you like, you'd say I'll go here. With us it's the same situation. Part by part Allah Almighty shows people the ages in the world and those past. Which time will you go to? According to a person's own character, his own desire and wish, his own intent, he takes a path.

Allah Almighty knows this very well. Because what does He tell us? What you need, and what lies in the remotest corner of your heart and you do not know, its secret, He says, I know. I know the secrets of hearts, He says.

Accordingly, a person's desire and wish, just as it is in his feelings, He works for him. Hodja, how do you know? Well, I know it from myself. I know it from myself. And the covenant is like this too. And you cannot attribute fault to Allah either.

Yes.

And He says: "Say: my Lord gives abundant provision to those of you who wish, and restricts it for those who wish. But most people do not know." So why do most not know? Those who, of their covenant in that address "Am I not your Lord?", are unaware.

Those who are aware are rare. Believers say, "âmennâ ve saddaknâ."

Yes.
