The misinterpretation
Allah is gracious to His servants and provides for whom He wills. He is strong, powerful.
The right translation
Allah is Lateef (Bounteous) and gives provisions to those who desire (within their destiny). Allah is Qawiyy (Mighty) and Azeez (Exalted).
Explanation
This is where this verse also goes wrong: He provides for whom He wills. The truth is: He provides for whomsoever He wills (within their destiny).
We have written in many verses that our Lord has no will over people, and since the Qur'an refers to will as repetition, we have shortened the footnote we wrote about will to repetition. In this Verse, we have written that our Lord has no will over people, that every soul has made a covenant with our Lord, and that the desires and wishes of people are written for them as destiny, and this will not change again, and in this case, our Lord has no will over people. It is explained in detail in Verse 172 of Surah A'raf. There you can find out why we were created, where we were created, why He made a covenant with mankind and why He sent us into the world even though He knew what we were. You can get information there.

'For them there is a severe punishment,' it says. Correct.
Verse 19 of Surah Ash-Shura is also a verse that was translated wrongly.
'Allah is gracious to His servants.' We believe it. Be it the idolater, be it the Magian, the religious and the irreligious, since Allah created them all, Allah is gracious to His servants, it says. To animals, lion, tiger, all the (?), birds, whatever there is, they are all Allah's servants. Allah showers abundant mercy on all of them.
He never creates inequality or injustice among us. If He had done so, what would the disbeliever say? 'You gave this to the Muslims. That is why I did this too,' he would say. 'I did it because I was angry,' he would say. Whereas He gives you petroleum. To that place He gives natural gas. To another side He gives fruit trees. To another side He gives its vegetables. To another side He gives its waters. What does it say? 'I have distributed even the earth equally to you,' it says. Look. I have distributed even the earth equally to you. Yes.
'Allah is gracious to His servants. He provides for whom He wills. He is strong, mighty,' it says. The one who wills is provided for. Take it. As much as you want. If you sit idle and do not work, living as a parasite off someone else's back if you want, if you eat and drink what Allah gives and are ungrateful, Allah, not what you say, (?). If you have provision, you get it. Work and take it. Yes. Whereas: 'Allah is gracious to His servants. He provides for those of you who will, within their destinies. He is strong, mighty.' Hodja, 'destinies' is not in it there. Ah, in the first barzakh, within our destinies, whatever we were going to do, He arranged our provision for us accordingly as well.
We write this in parentheses here anyway. For instance, when we say 'of you', it is in parentheses; when we say 'within their destinies', it is in parentheses. Our provisions have all been determined according to our destinies. So what is our destiny? According to our wish and desire. Yes. But we cannot know our wish and desire. That is closed. We cannot know one second ahead. What will happen one second later? Will the Last Day come? Will there be an earthquake? Will there be a fire? Will the building collapse on our heads? We cannot know. That is our destiny.
Yes.
