The misinterpretation

But then his Lord chose him (revealed) and made him one of the righteous.

The right translation

He was among the righteous; Allah (accepted his prayer) gave him revelations.

Explanation

The wrong opening in this verse is this: His Lord chose him (gave him revelation) and made him of the righteous. Verily: But he was of the righteous, then his Lord gave him (revelation).

They constantly open the verses in an inverted and meaningless way, accusing our Lord. Prophets are the first ones created from the soul of the Prophet (PBUH). In the 81st verse of Surah Al-Imran, our Lord has covenanted with and witnessed the conditions of as many Prophets and Prophets as He will send to the world. In this case, Our Lord does not choose anyone. The word 'choosing' adjectivizes our Lord. If a person loves a person, he takes him from among those people. He chooses that person from among those people, even though there may be people among those people who are more qualified than him, but he brings the one who has no right and puts him as a superior over the one who has the right, in which case they accuse our Lord of injustice. They accuse our Lord of injustice by making an unjust accusation that He has chosen this person and guided that person to the right path. Our Lord does not do injustice among His servants. According to the verse that says that what everyone earns is the reward of his own two hands, our Lord gives everyone his full due without a single iota of deficiency in His justice.

What is said in the video

And they've also been explained wrongly. In 50 and 52. We read verse 50. But then his Lord chose him, it says. Allah chooses no one. Gave him revelation and made him one of the righteous, it says. But — now I read the correct one. But, of those righteous ones — that is, the first created, the Prophet's (peace be upon him) spirit; those created from it, the righteous, the first created — but of those righteous ones, then his Lord gave him, gave him revelation. Revelation — how beautiful. Not "He chose him, did this, took him away, took that" — he sets a man before him and talks about him like this, as if talking with Allah. Astonishing, really.
