Al-Fath 14: The dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. Allah forgives those who wish (to be forgiven by Allah) and punishes those who wish (to be punished by not believing in Allah). Allah is the Most Merciful and the Most Forgiving. Allah is Ghafoor (Forgiving) and Raheem (the One who very generously accepts repentance).

The misinterpretation

The kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills. Allah is very forgiving and very merciful.

The right translation

The dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. Allah forgives those who wish (to be forgiven by Allah) and punishes those who wish (to be punished by not believing in Allah). Allah is the Most Merciful and the Most Forgiving. Allah is Ghafoor (Forgiving) and Raheem (the One who very generously accepts repentance).

Explanation

This is where it goes wrong: He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills. Our Lord created human beings. He made a covenant with human beings at Kalu Bela. He programmed these worlds until the Day of Judgment. What kind of a creator is this if our Lord will forgive whomever He wills and punish whomever He wills, whether they are sinners or hell-bound. What kind of a human imagination is this, that they would call our Lord, who is the perfect creator of the worlds and who rules the orderly creation of the universe with His justice, in such a way, and thus characterize our Lord. We put the brief note of the wish here as a repetition.

We have written in many verses that our Lord has no will over mankind, and since the Qur'an refers to will as repetition, we are putting our footnote about will as repetition.

In this verse we have written that our Lord has no will over people, that every soul has made a covenant with our Lord, and that people's desires and wishes are written to them as destiny and this will not change again, and in this case our Lord has no will over people. It is explained in detail in verse 172 of Surah A'râf. Why were we created, where were we created, why did He make a covenant with mankind and why did He send us into the world even though He knew what we were? You can get information there.

What is said in the video

In verse 14 of Surah Al-Fath He says the following. We read the wrong one. The wrong one.

"The dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah." Correct.

Every soul will taste death.

The inheritance of the heavens and the earth will remain to Allah. That verse. Verses confirm one another.

"He forgives whom He wills."

This part is wrong.

If Allah forgives whom He wills,

if He pardons whom He wills, then in this case Allah Almighty is given attributes.

If He forgives whom He wills, then people are left to Allah's mercy.

Why should anyone worship?

He will go into Hell, into Hell. Or a man does his evil. He says, Allah may will and put me into Paradise too. He takes deviant paths as his creed. Whereas Allah Almighty is At-Tawwab. He is the One who accepts repentance abundantly. Look how nice. Repentance, the One who accepts repentances. That is, We have cast upon you (?). Perhaps you will err. Only the disbelievers lose hope in Allah. You repent. Come to the right path. We are At-Tawwab. We accept your repentance, He says. So "He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills." When it says "Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful", this "He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills" contradicts His word too. That is, the person refutes his own words himself here.

What does it say? "Allah forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills." Then, "Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful." If He punishes whom He wills, then why, well, should Allah be Most Forgiving? Allah is Most Forgiving, that is what we say at the end anyway. Most Forgiving. Because Allah is (?) of mercy, His mercy has surpassed His wrath. Today you do not say to the disbelievers, why did you become Muslim? He sent the Quran as a mercy to the worlds. Just find the right path, He says. Turn towards the Truth. The Quran brings you out of darkness into light, He says. It floods the dark world with radiance, floods it with light.

And in this case, I wonder, does "Allah forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills" fit His word? But "the dominion of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. He forgives whoever among you wills it, and punishes whoever wills it." Well, would a person want to be punished? So if Allah Almighty says to you: pray, fast, become a Muslim, He says. Do not worship another god besides Allah. There is no other god besides Allah, He says. If He says, go on the right path, and you do the opposite, if you leave Islam, did you deserve the punishment, or did Allah Almighty punish you?

If you go against the laws of the state, if you violate them, if you kill a person, or swindle someone, or take someone's property by theft and get caught, you appear before the judge, and if the judge, in return for your crime, sends you to prison, did the judge send you to prison, or did you send yourself? Yes, so "He punishes whoever wills it; Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful," it says. In this case, whatever you are, even if you have broken your repentance, come again, says Hazrat Mevlana. The dervish lodge, Islam, is not an institution whose door of repentance is closed. Until the end of life Allah Almighty accepts a person's repentance.

In this case, Allah's willing does not exist over people. Through the human's willing, in the realm of Lahut, well, Allah Almighty created us, at the address "Elestü bi-Rabbiküm", whatever we asked of our Lord, our Lord gave us our destiny according to our wish, wrote our scenario, placed the characters in us, programmed those who will come until the Day of Judgement. So from now on there is no willing of Allah Almighty over people. Man came into the world to prove what kind of person he is. Yes.
