Muhammad 16: There are some among them who listen to you. But when they leave you, they say to those who were given knowledge, “What was that about he just said?” These are the people who have made their hearts sealed, and who pursue their earthly desires.

The misinterpretation
Among them are those who listen to you. But what did he just say to those who were informed when he left you? they ask. These are people whose hearts Allah has sealed and who follow their whims and whims.
The right translation
There are some among them who listen to you. But when they leave you, they say to those who were given knowledge, “What was that about he just said?” These are the people who have made their hearts sealed, and who pursue their earthly desires.
Explanation
The wrong opening is here: Those whose hearts Allah has sealed and who follow their desires and whims. The truth is: Those who have their hearts sealed by Allah and follow their desires and whims. Our Lord does not seal anyone's heart by His will and discriminate between His servants, nor does He prejudice His justice. We said there are two wills. The universal will and the limited will. The universal will is our Lord. The limited will is in human beings. Those who disbelieved in our Lord at Elestu bi Rabbikum, when He said I am your Lord, and those who disbelieved in our Lord at Kalu Bela, had their hearts sealed by our Lord Himself.
What is said in the video
What do we say to the mistranslated ones? In verse 16 of Surah Muhammad there is a mistranslated verse. Yes. Here too: "Among them are those who listen to you. But when they leave you, they ask those who have been given knowledge, what did he say just now?" they ask. "These are the ones whose hearts Allah has sealed and who follow whims and desire," it says. As we said just now, Allah seals no one's heart. They had their own hearts sealed themselves. With what? With their denial. Now, Allah is the Creator. Does He do what He wills? He does. Now here, when it says Allah sealed their hearts, it comes to mean He did not love him, He sealed his heart.
In this case, not in that way, but Allah's 'My mercy has surpassed My wrath' according to His verse where He says, "I have shared out even the world equally among you," for a Sovereign abundant in mercy, interpreting the verse in a way that looks for a calf under the ox of course attributes qualities to Allah Almighty. What does it say here? "What did he say just now?" they ask. "These are the ones whose hearts Allah has sealed and who follow their whims and desires." Allah Almighty is of course the Creator. He does everything, and He sealed their hearts. It comes to mean He did not love these people.
Yet: "Among them are those who listen to you, but when they leave you, they ask those who have been given knowledge, what did he say just now? These are the ones who had their hearts sealed by Allah and who follow their whims and desires," it says. Yes.
Now let me explain this verse to you a bit more. It says: "Among them are those who listen to you." You. "But when they leave you, those who have been given knowledge..." Now let's say I went to a community and I am listening. After listening, after going outside, I come to the scholars. And the scholar, although he knows that the Prophet is the Prophet and that he tells the truth, what does he say? Pay attention here. "But when they leave you, those who have been given knowledge: what did he say just now?" So now he is asking. "What did the Prophet tell?" they ask. "These are the ones who had their hearts sealed by Allah" - that is, although they know what is right, they do not speak the truth - "who follow their whims and desires." People who twist words according to their whims and desires and speak them.
Yes.
