The misinterpretation

(My Messenger!) We have sent down this blessed Book to you so that they may ponder its verses and that those who have wisdom may take heed.

The right translation

(Oh My Messenger!) We have revealed this Holy Book (The Qur’an) so that they shall contemplate about its verses, and they shall take guidence using their minds.

Explanation

This is where this verse goes wrong: Let those who have understanding take admonition. Correctly: Let those who use their minds take admonition.

Did our Lord give reason to some people and create some without reason? When our Lord made a covenant with people, did they not have intellect, or did He make a covenant with people without intellect? If our Lord sent Prophets to invite people to the truth, did He send Prophets to invite people without intellect to the truth? They are opening a so-called verse. The correct way of opening it is as follows. Let those who use their intellect take admonition. Our Lord says in His Verse: (Do you never use your intellect) (Do you never contemplate)?

What is said in the video

Is there a verse? In Surah Sad. There is one in verse 29, Surah Sad. "My Messenger, We sent down to you this blessed Book so that they reflect on its verses and that those with intellect take heed," it says. Whereas: My Messenger, to you this blessed Book, the blessed Book, We sent down so that they reflect on its verses and that those who use their intellect take heed. Those who use their intellect. So that they (?) the verses and those with intellect take heed, We sent it down. Yes. If You gave it to those with intellect, I had no intellect. So You gave me too little intellect. And I couldn't learn this, when it says those with intellect.

Whereas Allah gives intellect to everyone equally. That's why, what does it say? Will you not use your intellect? Well now, for me to use my intellect, I need to render this verse this way. How will I render it? We sent down to you this blessed Book so that they reflect on its verses and that those who use their intellect take heed, it says. Those who use their intellect. Well, if you don't use your intellect, what is Allah to do with you?

Yes. See where they've made subtle changes? They've set them apart.
