Al-Jumu'ah 5: The ones who are charged by the Torah (bound by It’s Commandments), yet do not follow it resemble that of a donkey carrying books of volumes of knowledge. How terrible is the example of people who reject Allah’s verses (signs). Oppressors cannot find Allah’s guidance (as long as they are in that state).

The misinterpretation
The situation of those who are held responsible for the Torah but do not act upon it is like the situation of a donkey carrying volumes of books. How bad is the situation of the people who denied the Verses of Allah. Allah does not guide the unjust people to the right path.
The right translation
The ones who are charged by the Torah (bound by It’s Commandments), yet do not follow it resemble that of a donkey carrying books of volumes of knowledge. How terrible is the example of people who reject Allah’s verses (signs). Oppressors cannot find Allah’s guidance (as long as they are in that state).
Explanation
This is the wrong opening in this verse: That He may not guide the wrongdoers.
Are there not those who are guided among the community of wrongdoers? It is full. Is this not an attribute of our Lord? As we have said, the verses of the Qur'an have been opened in a contradictory way because of their incomplete and incorrect opening.
When they opened the verses, they opened them wrongly because of their incomplete opening. Those who are not aware of the covenant between people and Allah (swt) have evaluated people based on their current situation. However, people are guided when they realize that their ways were wrong after they were in the situation they were in, and they repent and enter the religion of Islam.
The origins of the wrong opening of the verses are due to the wrong opening of Verse 172 of Surah A'raf. Our Lord's doors of repentance are open. If those who are outside the religion of Islam die without repenting, they will go to the Hereafter without faith and without guidance. However, the door of repentance is open until the end of life. If they repent, they will go to the Hereafter as Muslims.
What is said in the video
Those charged with the Torah who then do not act upon it, their case is like carrying books in volumes, carrying books in volumes: like the case of a donkey, it says. How beautiful. Look now: the case of those bound by the Torah who do not act upon it is like the case of a donkey carrying books in volumes. Up to here, let's explain this part. That is, here people say: we are bound by the Torah, and the Torah's ruling we carry out. Saying 'I am bound by the Torah' means here: I am not like one who does not do what is in the Torah. Pay attention here. Look what it says. Charged with the Torah: when?
Look, there is a word here. Charged with the Torah: that is, the Torah's validity was at one time. In the time of Moses. Pay attention here. Because the Jews, from the Torah, the Hebrews, say about their own books: we are bound by them. Whereas what does it say? Charged with the Torah, that is, in their condition at that time, We sent them a book and they did not act upon it; their case is like that of a donkey carrying books in volumes: that is the verse. In this time too, the Quran has been sent by Allah Almighty. People not bound by the Quran are like books loaded on a donkey, that is their state.
Yes, (?) like the case of a donkey, it says. The case of the people who denied Allah's verses, how evil it is, says Allah Almighty. Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people, it says. Here they spoil the end, the end. Let's also read the correct one. The correct one: those charged with the Torah who do not act upon it, their case is like the case of a donkey carrying books in volumes. How evil is the case of the people who denied Allah's verses! When it says Allah's verses, this time all the books are included. How evil is the case of those who deny them! The wrongdoing people, as long as they persist in that state, cannot come to Allah's right path.
Yes.
