The misinterpretation

But they have made some of His servants a part of Him. Indeed, man is in clear disbelief.

The right translation

Yet they have associated some of Allah’s servants as partners with Allah. Such people are certainly in a state of blasphemy.

Explanation

This is where it goes wrong: Man is in blatant disbelief. The truth is: Indeed (such) people are in manifest disbelief.

Since there is no Turkish word for the Verses of our Lord, they have opened many Verses by attributing shortcomings to our Lord. This Verse is one of them. Indeed, when it is said that man is in manifest disbelief, has our Lord never created a decent human being? Are all human beings in blatant disbelief? Among them are prophets, saints, martyrs and scholars. Our Lord even says in one of His verses, "The angels and the scholars bear witness that there is no other god but Allah". The correct opening of the verse is as we have explained above: "But they have made some of My servants a part of Him (as partners to Allah). Indeed (such) people are in manifest disbelief.

What is said in the video

Their commentaries — we wrote them in the commentaries, didn't we? They are written down. Verse 15 of Surah Az-Zukhruf has been rendered wrongly, and here it says this: But they made some of His servants a part of Him of Him. Truly, man is in open disbelief.

Where is it wrong? Look what we say. This one is (?) very simple. You should find it right away. But they made some of His servants a part of Him. Truly, man is in open disbelief.

I couldn't tell. I couldn't tell.

Look now, it muddles the mind at such a point, it turns it from such a subtle point that it is not even possible to understand it. Look: "but they ... some of His servants" — they worship idols, don't they? The idols as creators, and some become their servants. Some of His servants — "but they ... some of His servants" — some of the idols' servants, some of them. Did the idol create servants? What did the idol create? What did the idol create? Look at the subtlety, the subtlety, where it strikes from. but a Muslim with his faith doesn't grasp this, but they made some of His servants a part of Him they made. That is, a part of the idols became man. Truly, man is in clear disbelief, it says. That's when they worship idols, you see.

But they made some of My servants, some of My servants, a part made them a part of Him. Here, servants, some of My servants some, Allah's servants, some of them, a part of Him — they think they come from the idols, don't they: we came from it. That is: it is our god, it created us. Doesn't he worship it? Doesn't he deny Allah? This part is already rendered so well here. What do we say? But they made some of My servants, some of My servants they made them a part of Him, a part of Him. The servants were made a part of the idols. I said: they associated partners with Allah. I opened this part up so that it is understood better.

They associated partners with Allah.

Truly, such people are in open disbelief, it says. Because they denied Allah.

How subtle a point they strike from.
