The misinterpretation
We have certainly given the Children of Israel the Book, judgment and prophecy. We fed them with good sustenance and gave them superiority over the worlds.
The right translation
Vow to that; We gave the Book, the wisdom and the Prophethood to the sons of Israel. We gave them beautiful provisions and exalted them above the worlds (in their times, as for being created as human kind).
Explanation
This is where this verse goes wrong: We have made them superior to the worlds. As we explained in verse 32 of Surat al-Duhan, Our Lord did not create anyone superior to anyone else. People are superior to each other in degrees because of their closeness to our Lord by their own will or because of their disbelief when they made a covenant with our Lord at Kalu Bela. In this regard, as a repetition, we are putting the footnote of the 25th verse of Surat al-Duhan as a footnote below this.
Allah (swt) has not given any tribe a privilege over people. If He had given a privilege over the worlds, the Prophet (SAW) came as a mercy to the worlds. He would have given a privilege to his people. By saying that a privilege was given to the distorted tribe of Israel, they are not only characterizing our Lord, but people are also inventing superstitions in some ideologies to present themselves as superhuman.
The real meaning here is that our Lord has given human beings His spirit. In this respect, human beings have been created honorable over the worlds. However, there are some who are unaware of themselves and give their souls to cats, dogs, plants and even trees. Allah (swt) says, "I have created man in the most beautiful form" because Allah (swt) has given his soul only to human beings in the universe. In this verse, He says: "I created man in the most beautiful form. In this respect, the truth of the verse is: We have made them superior to the worlds (because of their creation as human beings).
What is said in the video
We have come to Surah Al-Jathiyah. Let us see, in Surah Al-Jathiyah, in which verse is there a mistake? There is a mistake in verse 16. What does it say? "By oath, We gave the Children of Israel the Book, judgement and prophethood. We fed them with good provisions and made them superior to the worlds," it says. Oh, how nice.
Yes. So in this situation the Children of Israel became spoiled,
and because of that spoiledness they rebelled against Allah and were cursed. Now in this case, aren't you attributing qualities to Allah Almighty? Allah Almighty is supposed to curse the Children of Israel, and at the same time what do you say? "And We made them superior to the worlds." And at the same time He is supposed to have made them superior to the worlds. So Allah Almighty (?) is supposed to curse a people He made superior. Can you grasp this? This is how people end up in a ridiculous state with words that contradict each other, if they cannot interpret the verses. Whereas the meaning of the verse: indeed, We gave the Children of Israel the Book, judgement and prophethood They - We fed them with good provisions.
Because of their creation as human beings, We made them superior in the world." Not only them, but people. Allah Almighty made people superior in the world. People have truly been created honoured above the worlds, and as a part of Allah Almighty they have been created. But Allah Almighty says this: They are human by the deeds they do. By some of their deeds they are lower than an animal, He declares. "They are like four-legged beasts roaming the earth," He says. Despite being created honoured - look, the Children of Israel too, although as human beings they were created honoured above the worlds, when they rebelled against Allah Almighty they were cursed. They are a cursed people.
Yes. Allah Almighty addresses that cursed people like this: Their right to live on earth, He says, is only within Islamic states, He says. They have a right to live under the command of an Islamic state, He says. So the Children of Israel founding a state is one of the signs of the Last Day. Because it is outside the verse. The Prophet (peace be upon him) also says that the Children of Israel founding founding is one of the signs of the Last Day, he says, and we are living in the signs of the Last Day anyway. One of the signs of the Last Day, the other elements: volcanoes will become active, He says, there will be earthquakes, He says, there will be floods, He says, sir, there will be hurricanes and storms, He says.
They are all here. How could these not be signs of the Last Day? They are all appearing right now. But a veil has been drawn over man's eyes; man, not wanting to see the truth, has fixed his eyes on the world, like the zaqqum tree that has bloomed in the middle of this rubbish-heap world, that will bloom in the middle of hell, likening the flowers of the world to the zaqqum tree, longing for it, man has turned his back on Allah. Yes.
