The misinterpretation

You will see them looking secretly out of the corner of their eyes while they are being presented to the fire, with their heads bowed out of humiliation. Those who believe; They will say, "The real losers are those who lose themselves and their families on the Day of Judgment." Know for sure that the wrongdoers are in perpetual torment.

The right translation

When they are brought to the fire, you will see that they bow down their heads and look from the corner of their eyes secretly due to humiliation. And those who believe will say, “Indeed, the real sufferers are those who suffer on the Day of Judgment, together with their families (who followed them).” Know with certainity that, the cruel ones are in an enduring torment.

Explanation

This is where this verse goes wrong: They will say on the Day of Resurrection they are the ones who have caused loss to themselves and their families. Indeed: On the Day of Resurrection they will say that they and their families (those who follow them) are the losers. If the verses are opened according to arbitrary reasoning, they contradict many verses. Our Lord says, "Do not mock anyone, lest that people be better than you. In this case, Hazrat Ibrahim's father Azer was an idolater. Hazrat Ibrahim was a Prophet and a friend of our Lord. Hazrat Noah was a Prophet. His son was an infidel. In this case, those who follow them from their families will be subjected to permanent torment so that the verse does not contradict the words of our Lord.

What is said in the video

We continue with our lesson. Verse 45 has been rendered wrongly. These have all been rendered wrongly anyway, all wrong. As they are exposed to the Fire, you will see them, heads bowed in humiliation, looking furtively out of the corner of their eyes. Whom will they look at out of the corner of their eyes? Look what it says here now. And people will say: the real losers are those who on the Day of Judgment have ruined themselves and their families. They brought ruin on themselves and their families. Yes.

Know for certain that the wrongdoers are in a lasting punishment. Now here, when it says: know for certain that the wrongdoers are in a lasting punishment — those who continue in that state and pass on to the hereafter. Let's look at how it comes from above, and say it accordingly. As they are exposed to the Fire, you will see them, their heads — heads bowed in humiliation, looking furtively out of the corner of their eyes. And people will say: the real losers are, on the Day of Judgment, themselves and, of their families, those who followed them — they are the ones who suffer loss. Yes, here it is: those who followed them.

Here there is no "those who followed them". In brackets: the real losers are those who on the Day of Judgment have ruined themselves and their families, they will say. Followers: there are none who led all of their families into loss. Among them there are those who are Muslim. For example, even in Pharaoh's circle, his vizier is a Muslim. When they set out to kill Moses: are you saying this because a man says Allah? You are going to kill him? he says. He puts it very well. So here: on the Day of Judgment, themselves and, of their families, those who followed them are the ones who suffer loss, they will say.

Know for certain that the wrongdoers are in a lasting punishment. In that world of the hereafter. Here it is no longer about continuing in that state; it is the state over there.
