The misinterpretation

I worship only the one who created me. For He will guide me to the straight path.

The right translation

“I only worship to my Creator, Because, my Creator would guide me to the right path.”

Explanation

This is where this verse goes wrong. He will guide me to the right path. The truth is: He will show me the right path.

Our Lord made a covenant with people at Kalu Bela. He wrote their will as their destiny and sent us to the world to witness what kind of a person we are. In this case, our Lord will not guide anyone to the right path. Everyone will live his destiny and prove what kind of a person he is. Our Lord creates events according to people's desires and wishes, and people prove what kind of a person they are by carrying out actions according to these desires. In this case, Our Lord will neither guide anyone to the right path nor show him the crooked paths. Our Lord sends books, prophets and scholars to bring people out of darkness into the light. People prove what kind of a person they are by acting out the scenario of the covenant they have voluntarily made as an artist in the world through their actual actions. In this case, the correct opening of the verse is: Because He will show me the right path.

What is said in the video

Would you deny Allah, who offers them?

Yes.

Verse 27 has been rendered wrongly. What does it say here? I worship only the One who created me, I worship. Because He will lead me to the right path, it says. Here: I worship only the One who created me. That is, I serve Him. Because He will show me the right path. By my own will. Not "will lead", but "will show", shows. He sent the Quran as a mercy to the worlds, it says. Had it said, to lead the worlds to the right path, you would not find a single unbeliever on the face of the earth. So leading is one thing, showing is another. At the end of the Fatiha it says 'guide me to the right path', but actually 'show me what is right. Allah Almighty too, right here, on this path that he continues, yes.
