The misinterpretation

We have certainly destroyed the lands around you. We have explained the Verses over and over so that perhaps they will return to the right path.

The right translation

Vow to that; We destroyed the towns around you. We explained the verses to them repeatedly, so that they shall turn (to the right path).

What is said in the video

In verse 27 of Surah Al-Ahqaf in verse 27 it has been wrongly translated. Indeed, We also destroyed the lands around you." Now let us go through it explaining it here. Allah Almighty states the verse correctly. What does it say here? We read the wrong one, so let us go through the wrong one explaining it, then read the correct one; the correct one (?). What does it say? Indeed, We also destroyed the lands around you. Well, around me, in my land, there is no such destruction. There is no annihilation. So what does this mean? Is Allah Almighty speaking incompletely? Here the mother city is Mecca.

The mother city. The mother city of the world. All states and the cities around it are the cities around it. So those raised in the cities around it, or those raised anywhere in the world - when they rebelled against Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty destroyed destroyed them. That is the meaning. Indeed, We also destroyed the lands around you. "So that perhaps they would return to the right path." Here it uses the word "perhaps". Allah Almighty does not put Himself in a position of saying "perhaps" as if unaware of what is to come. What does Allah Almighty say in a verse? There is not a single leaf to come until the Last Day whose doings We do not know.

The stirring of a leaf, a leaf - never mind what people will do. Yes. "To the right path - perhaps," it says, "they would return to the right path, so We explained the verses again and again," he says. Whereas, indeed, We also destroyed the land around you, so that, He says. Here the word "so that", lealle, occurs. The word lealle, look. Ve sarrafne l-âyâti leallehum yerciûn. Look here, this saying "so that" - so that those among that people who would become Muslims, those who would become, and the opportunity of a period of time that He has given. So that. Because, what does it say now? Indeed, We destroyed the lands around you, so that they would return to the right path We explained the verses again and again." In a verse He says this: We, with the mosquito and what is bigger, He says, do not refrain from giving similitudes, He says.

With the mosquito and what is bigger. The mosquito is the weakest of creatures. The mosquito. That is, in words that the most ignorant would understand, in a style, We explained Our verses. We explained Our verses also in a style that everyone can understand, He says. "And in this explaining We do not refrain from giving similitudes to Our servants," He says. Yes. Why? Allah Almighty does not refrain. (?) on the Day of Judgement: You did not show me the truth plainly. If You had shown it, if You had spoken in a way I could understand, I would have followed You - he will not be able to say that. Indeed, Allah Almighty has laid out before people, with His verses, everything all people would say.

Yes.
