The misinterpretation

Do you worship the idol named Ba'l, leaving the most beautiful creator?

The right translation

Do you worhship Baal, turning away from the One (Allah), Who is the only Creator, and creates most beautifully?

Explanation

They have opened this verse as shirk. Look what they say? Is there a creator other than Allah, is their idol a deity, addressed to the idol worshippers, is their idol a deity, so that you leave the most beautiful creator for our Lord and worship an idol named Ba'l? So the idol named Ba'l creates something, but our Lord creates something more beautiful! The meaning of the verse is as follows: Do you worship Ba'il, the most beautiful (Creator) of His creations (who has no creator other than Allah), by giving names to them according to your own minds, and by making them comprehensive with your hands, symbolizing that there is no other deity besides our Lord.

What is said in the video

We showed them both the right path. Yes. There is a mistake in verse 125. "Do you leave the best of creators and worship the idol named Baal?" it says. So then the idol named Baal creates too, and the best one is what? Allah creates. What is it? Look: leaving the best of creators, and leaving Baal, do you worship the idol named Baal, it says. Whereas: do you worship Baal? Do you worship Baal? Besides whom there is no creator, who creates the created in the finest form. (?) How is it here? How is it here? Yes. May Allah give these people sense. These people have written Quran translations. Today those who say "I'm a scholar" and those who are ulema too, however many tafsirs have been written, those who wrote tafsir, if they wrote in the light of these wrongly rendered verses, and they did write that way.

These people, among believing Muslims, are very great people in their eyes. Among believing Muslims.

If these people had truly done justice to the place they hold, they would have understood the mistakes in the verses and made their tafsir and meaning accordingly. Today's people, despite seeing the truth, as we read in Yasin-i Şerif, I won't even call them people, those who say "I'm a scholar", in Yasin-i Şerif, in the verse we went through, it says lale collars have been put on their necks. Rings have been put on, they cannot bow their necks to the ground. Despite hearing and knowing the truth, these never give up superstition and read their own way. These are the ones with lale collars on their necks.

If they break these collars and, with these Quran translations we have written, sit down, understand their mistakes, repent, and in this way write a translation, then it's up to Allah's mercy. Otherwise, if they persist like this, how will they appear before al-Haqq? That is up to the mercy of Allah Almighty. I say deeds depend on intentions. They did wrong. They didn't do it deliberately. They couldn't know the truth of the matter. And they wrote in order to benefit humanity, but when they saw the truth they regretted it. They couldn't recall the Qurans and their translations. When people truly repent in that remorse it's a matter left to our Lord's mercy.

But I hope that Allah Almighty's mercy is abundant. If they repent, they take refuge in Allah Almighty's forgiveness. Yes.
