The misinterpretation
The arguments of those who argue about Allah after their invitation has been accepted are empty in the sight of their Lord. For them is wrath, and for them is a severe punishment.
The right translation
Those who argue about Allah, after accepting the call of the Messenger, their proofs are void in the sight of Allah. There is wrath and there is a severe punishment for them.
Explanation
This is where this verse goes wrong. After his invitation was accepted. It is correct: After I accepted the invitation.
You will ask what is the difference between these two words. There are mountains of difference between them. If we pay attention to the previous verse, our Lord says: "Therefore, invite to Tawheed". Invitation to false religion is not accepted. But if they are invited, they are invited to Islam, the true religion.
Those who say, "What is the difference between these verses?" do not read the verses with comprehension, but confuse the false with the true, and they enter into dead ends with many questions in their own minds, and take their religion lightly. It is with superstitions such as these that the religion of Islam has been underestimated and people have turned away from religion and corrupted the concept of morality.
What is said in the video
Surah Ash-Shura: in this surah they made many mistakes, translated it mistakenly. There is a mistake in verse 16 as well. 'After the call has been accepted, those who dispute about Allah: their arguments are void with their Lord.'
'After the call has been accepted, those who dispute about Allah: their arguments are void with their Lord. For them there is wrath, and for them there is a severe punishment,' it says. Whereas: the call, after they have accepted the call, those who dispute about Allah: their arguments. Look. What does it say here? After accepting the call, after the call has been accepted, after it has actually been accepted, whereas not 'has been accepted', but 'after accepting'. After it has been accepted, Allah Almighty does not say his call is void. Nor does He accept it in vain. If a person has accepted, however sinful he may be, his thing does not go to waste.
Yes, if his sins are many, he enters Hell, stays as long as his punishment, and still comes out as a Muslim. Now pay attention once more to this play on words. 'After the call has been accepted,' it says. Whereas 'after accepting the call': the person said, okay, I have accepted the shahada, he says. The other one, 'after the shahada has been accepted', means Allah Himself says, I have accepted you, it says. Whereas Allah knows, from tongue and heart, who affirms with their tongue and heart. He also knows the one who affirms with the tongue but not with the heart, and He does not accept him anyway.
There is a beautiful meaning here. What does it say? 'After the call has been accepted': that is the wrong one. Whereas: 'After accepting the call, those who dispute about Allah: their arguments are void with their Lord,' it says. It both accepts and says it is void. But in the, well: 'After accepting the call, those who dispute in Allah's sight: their arguments are void with their Lord.' Yes, you said it is right, but this part is wrong, he says, for example. If he denies a single verse of the Quran, he is a disbeliever.
Except unknowingly; he has to do it knowingly. He has to do it deliberately. There are such Muslims who say there is no headscarf in the Quran. There you go. They say it. That is how they have been indoctrinated. Disbelievers say so. We open the Quran to those who say so. Look, this is Allah's Book, we say. Look, here it is written like this. Yes. 'For them there is wrath, and for them there is a severe punishment,' it says. Correct.
