Ash-Shuraa 24: Or do they say (for you) that you fabricate lies against Allah? If you had wished to have your heart sealed, Allah would do that as well. And, Allah eradicates falsehood. Allah establishes the truth with Allah’s message. With no doubt! Allah knows about what is inside the hearts.

The misinterpretation
Or do they say that he has fabricated a lie against Allah (for you)? If Allah wills, He will also seal your heart. And Allah destroys the west. He reveals the truth with his words. Surely He knows what is in the hearts.
The right translation
Or do they say (for you) that you fabricate lies against Allah? If you had wished to have your heart sealed, Allah would do that as well. And, Allah eradicates falsehood. Allah establishes the truth with Allah’s message. With no doubt! Allah knows about what is inside the hearts.
Explanation
This is where this verse goes wrong: Allah can seal your heart if He wills. The truth is: If you ask Allah, He will also seal your heart.
Our Lord created human beings. He has written their desires and wishes as their destiny. In this case, Our Lord does not seal anyone's heart. But the hearts of those who disobey the truth and disbelieve in Our Lord by denying the Verses have had their hearts sealed by Our Lord of their own will.
In this case, our Lord says to the Prophet (PBUH) that if you had followed your desires and lied, we would have sealed your heart too. In this case, the words of the Prophet (PBUH) are not outside the command of our Lord and our Lord has supported the Prophet (PBUH) with the following verse (He does not speak in vain). It is clear that Allah (swt) does not write the fate of any of His servants by His own will, and that people's desires are fully written down for them as their fate, and that He judges with complete justice without discriminating between His servants.
What is said in the video
Let me know when the Surah comes up.
Verse 24 has been rendered wrongly. Or do they say about you, "He has invented a lie against Allah"? Look how beautifully it puts it. About the Prophet, against Allah, that is: "This one says Allah, Allah, but this liar — there is no Allah." Look what it says, how beautiful. Can you understand this part like this? Look what it says: Or do they say about you, "He has invented a lie against Allah"?
That is, to get his own people to follow him: "Allah exists, your idols are good for nothing. Come to my side." Does he say this for himself? it says. If Allah wills, He seals your heart too, it says. If that is so, I will seal your heart too, He says. That is, I will seal the heart of My prophet too, He says. And he too will become unable to speak, He says. Then he too will follow you, He says. He will be with you, He says. And Allah wipes out falsehood, it says. If I wish, He says, I will seal your heart too. However much you stand together, We will wipe out that falsehood of yours, He says. How does He wipe it out? He destroys it the way He destroyed many peoples.
He sends new ones in their place. Yes.
He establishes the truth by His words. By His words Allah establishes the truth. Surely He knows what is in the hearts, it says. How beautifully it puts it. I have already opened this part up. Now let's read the correct one and see: is it as I said? Or do they say about you, "He has invented a lie against Allah"? If Allah wills, He seals your heart too. And Allah wipes out falsehood. He establishes the truth by His words. That is, He sends a new people in your place. Surely He knows what is in the hearts, it says. How beautifully Allah Almighty puts it.
