The misinterpretation

(My Messenger!) Will you save the one who has been punished and the one who is in the fire?

The right translation

(Oh My Messenger!) Will you save the one, who deserved the punishment of torment (upon ownself), and who is on fire?

Explanation

This is where this verse goes wrong: About whom the sentence of torment has come to pass. Correctly: He on whom the sentence of torment has been carried out.

If, when people make a covenant with our Lord in the hereafter, their desires and wishes are written down for them as destiny, if people who come to the worldly realm are given exactly what they asked for from our Lord, then when these people come to the worldly realm, if they have written down what they want in the hereafter as a script, they will prove what kind of a person they are with their actual actions of the script they have written down in the worldly realm. In this case: The verse is more precise when it says: "He about whom the sentence of punishment has come true": It is more correct to say: He about whom the judgment of punishment has been realized. For man will be held to account for what he has done, and he will be repaid in full for what he has done with justice.

What is said in the video

The nineteenth verse they also rendered wrongly. I'm reading the wrong version: O My Messenger! The one against whom the decree of punishment has been realized, and the one in the Fire — will you save them? it says. Yes, how nice, isn't it? But it's wrong. Well, here where is the mistake? I'll read it once more: The one against whom the decree of punishment has been realized, and the one in the Fire — will you save them?

Let me explain this for you. Now what does it say here? The one against whom the decree of punishment has been realized — Allah Almighty whom He wills (?) to punishment, (?) to Paradise — you know, He says, whom He wills to Paradise, whom He wills to Hell — this is a statement corresponding to that. Whereas the one who has brought about the decree of punishment against himself is the person who rebels against Allah with his rebellion, the person who does not acknowledge Him. In that case, man, by his own wish, by his own desire and wish, by his intention, did not know Allah Almighty, standing before him, as his Creator; he waited for the Lord in his imagination.

Where is this? The realm of Lahut, where souls were created? Allah Almighty had placed them all before Himself, however many people would come. There, He created — when He said, I am your Lord. From there people were divided into three classes. Three classes.

And a third group is the group of the foremost. Saints, prophets, martyrs — the group of the martyrs. Yes. Here Allah Almighty gave people whatever they asked for, according to their desires and wishes. Just as Satan wished. What did Satan say? Give me a life until the Day of Resurrection, he said. I gave it, He said. Let me see people and let people not see me, he said. I gave that too, He said. Let me roam in people's bloodstreams, he said. I gave that too, He said. Why did He give it? If He had not given it, if He had restricted any of it, perhaps it might have come to our minds: could this one spoil what Allah Almighty created, is that why He didn't give it?

But He gave Satan whatever he asked. So He gave us too whatever we wished. We said will is twofold — within our will. Yes. That's why no one will be able to attribute the crime he committed to Allah. Everyone will be called to account for his own deeds, for the acts he has carried out, with reward and sin.
