Ghafir 10: Verily, the deniers will be addressed, “The return of the evil deeds that you committed due to your denial is greater on the side of Allah (However, Allah will only punish the evil deeds as they are). You were being called to The Message, but you were denying.”

The misinterpretation
Those who disbelieve are addressed as follows: The wrath of Allah is certainly greater than your wickedness towards yourself. For you were invited to believe, but you were in denial.
The right translation
Verily, the deniers will be addressed, “The return of the evil deeds that you committed due to your denial is greater on the side of Allah (However, Allah will only punish the evil deeds as they are). You were being called to The Message, but you were denying.”
Explanation
This is where this verse goes wrong: Allah's wrath is greater than the evil you do to yourselves. Indeed: The recompense for the evil you have done because of your disbelief is greater with Allah, (but Allah will punish you fully for what you have done).
Allah's wrath is of course great. But the verse has been misinterpreted. It says that the wrath of Allah is greater than the evil you do to yourselves. But the correct opening of the verse is as follows: The recompense for the evil you have done because of your disbelief is greater with Allah. The meaning here is that what you have done is not a sin that can be forgiven, but because I have made Paradise and Hell eternal, the punishment I will give you is that you will remain in Hell eternally. If we pay attention to the rest of the verse, it is said. Because you were invited to believe, but you disbelieved. Such is their ungrateful behavior. In their denial of the Lord our Creator and in their expectation of the Lord of their dreams, their sin is surely greater in comparison with our Lord.

We will stop here; God willing, we will end our lesson.
To those who deny, it is called out thus:
Allah's wrath is certainly greater than the evil you did to yourselves.
For you were being invited to faith, but you were denying, it says. Tell me the fault here, tell me the mistake here. To those who deny, it is called out thus: Allah's wrath is certainly greater than your evil toward yourselves. For you were being invited to faith, but you were denying. The end is right. But the beginning is wrong. Look what it says. To those who deny, it is called out thus: The recompense of the evil you did because of your denial is in fact greater in Allah's sight.
In fact greater in Allah's sight. It is greater, so think now, He will give you what you did. Look, do you see? Now we are reading the wrong one. To those who deny, it is called out thus: Allah's wrath is certainly greater than your evil toward yourselves. Allah's wrath is greater. Now what does it say? On what basis does it say this, in other verses? You commit a crime, you commit one more crime and one more, right? It says: We will punish your crimes by multiplying them. Whereas, We will punish you for the crimes you committed by adding them up, it can't say that. It doesn't. It accuses Allah Almighty, saying, We will punish by multiplying.
They have ruined the religion of Islam, the verses of Allah Almighty.
Their translations, not the verses. The translations.
Yes. Whereas, to those who deny, it is called out thus: The recompense of the evil you did because of your denial is in fact, in Allah's sight, greater. But Allah Almighty, for what you did, will give your punishments in full, it says, you know? For you were being invited to faith, but you were denying, it says.
