The misinterpretation

The keys of the heavens and the earth belong to Him. He gives abundant sustenance to whomever he wishes and cuts it short for whom he wishes. He is all-knowing.

The right translation

The keys (secrets) of the heavens and the earth belong to Allah. As people wish (bounded by their covenant), Allah gives abundant provisions, or less provisions to them. Allah knows everything.

Explanation

This is where this verse goes wrong: He gives abundant provision to whom He wills and withholds it from whom He wills. Verily: He gives abundant provision to whomsoever He wills and withholds it from whomsoever He wills.

The origin of these incorrectly opened Verses is based on the 172nd Verse of Surah A'râf. Those who do not know the meaning of this Verse have completely misinterpreted the Qur'anic interpretation based on this Verse. In Verse 172 of Surah A'râf, our Lord, who has made a covenant with human beings, shows them times and events from the worldly realm. Before people come to this world, they are shown in which world and at what time they will come. In this case, he has chosen the life of this realm in which he will live. In the 173rd verse of Surah A'râf, he has clearly stated what he covenanted for.

In this case, our Lord provides for people as much as He wishes and does not withhold His sustenance from anyone He wishes. People have taken the commands sent by our Lord lightly because those who opened the verses according to their own minds made our Lord fit into their own minds and opened the verses according to their own minds, and people have taken the commands sent by our Lord lightly because the verses were opened falsely by constantly blaming our Lord. It has led to the emergence of today's morality and a life unworthy of human beings.

What is said in the video

In verse 12 of Surah Ash-Shura there is a mistake.

'The key of the heavens and the earth is His.' Whose? It is Allah's. 'He gives provision abundantly to whom He wills, and restricts it for whom He wills. He knows all things,' it says. We said that Allah Almighty does not will over people.

Allah Almighty created people, gave them a part of His spirit, and left man free in his own will. He left him free. What does this mean? 'Now I have created you perfect, and given you a part of My spirit. You have become able to govern yourself. Now I will give you what you desire. I will exercise no rule over you. Nor will I keep up any dominion of Mine,' He says. How beautiful. And according to man's own wish and desire, people's desires He gives them as destiny. Destiny. In this case man uses his own will. What does it say here? 'He gives provision abundantly to the one who wills, to whom He wills, and restricts provision when He wills,' it says.

He knows all things. He does know all things. Only, whatever the person wished, He gave him that. No one will be able to say to Allah Almighty: why did You make me poor, why did You make me rich, why did You make me his lackey, why did You make me a servant, why did You make me, well, a worker, why did You make him a manager?

Because He showed these worlds. And there are those who say: let me come into the world like this and go like this. Some say: without taking responsibility, let me (?) like this; I'll do that, I said, and pass on and go; there are such people too. When I was running a factory here, I always told the neighbour across the way. You said: here, my house is here, I'm leaving from here. 'Both keep watch here, and I'll put you, I said, at the head of these,' I said. 'Well, let me put a, let me put you as foreman.' 'Let me raise your (?),' I said. 'Well, I won't get involved in (?),' he said. 'I won't do anything,' he said.

'We'll raise your pay too, you know.' 'I don't want that either.'

Likewise, in the hereafter too, people who don't know that Allah Almighty made a covenant cannot really understand these things. Whereas the key of the heavens and the earth, the keys are His. 'He gives provision abundantly to those of you who will, and restricts it for those who will. He knows all things,' it says.
