The misinterpretation

They were drowned because of their sins, and then they were put into the fire, and then they could not find helpers against Allah either.

The right translation

Then, they got drowned in the ocean, due to their sins. After that (in the Afterlife); they will be put into the fire, and they won’t be able to find any helpers against Allah.

Explanation

This is the wrong opening in this verse: Then they were taken into the Fire, and then they found no helpers against Allah. The truth is: Then they will be taken into the Fire, and then they will find no helpers against Allah.

In the wrong opening it says, "Then they were taken into the Fire, and then they found no helpers against Allah". The Day of Judgment has not yet broken and people have not been called to account. They put Pharaoh and the drowned into the Fire. It seems that these verses have been opened haphazardly or deliberately.

For Pharaoh alone, our Lord says: "He is in a torment. The severe torment is in the Hereafter." He is currently suffering the torment of the grave. This does not mean that he entered hell and was put into the fire. Verily: (In the Hereafter) then they will be taken into the Fire, and then they will find no helpers against Allah.

What is said in the video

In Surah Nuh, verse 25, there is an error. These were drowned in water because of their sins. Who? In the flood of Noah. What does it say? What do the men say about Noah? They tell their children: we have the advice of our father. This man won't die. 900 years, 960 years he lives among his people. This man won't die; don't you believe a word he says, they say. Yes. And finally, when he says "My Lord, they have denied me", He has him build a ship. After Noah's flood he lives another 240 years. So Noah lives in this world for 1200 years. Yes. These were drowned in water because of their sins. Then they were put into the fire.

And then they found no helpers of their own, no helpers against Allah, it says. Wrong verse, this is how it's explained. Now: these were drowned in water because of their sins, then they will be put into the fire. They don't say "they were put into the fire". They will be put into the fire. Because Hell has not yet gone into operation. It is in operation, but no one's account has been settled yet. No account has been settled. When will it be settled? Look what the verse says. Today no one will be wronged at all; what everyone earned with their own two hands, in return for it they will be paid in full — according to that verse, the Day of Judgment will break, we will move on to the realm of the hereafter.

There, after the trumpet is blown again and we are revived, we will go to the gathering. At the gathering, after settling accounts at the supreme court, we will go to Paradise and to Hell. So where did you get this from, that you put him into Hell? "I put him into the fire." Yes. They were put into the fire, and then they found no helpers against Allah, it says. But these things haven't happened yet. Who said so? If it said it like this, it would be fine. Look. We have now left Pharaoh subject to a punishment. If it said the severest punishment is in the hereafter, fine. The punishment of the grave. That would be the punishment of the grave.

But the verse isn't explained like that; as if the court had been held, set up, and they had gone there — that's how it puts it. The correct one: these were drowned in water because of their sins, then into the fire they will be put, and then they will not find helpers against Allah, it says. So in the realm of the hereafter, of the people from whom Allah Almighty withholds His mercy, no one will intercede. There they will be left without anyone, alone. They will remain as eternal logs of Hell. Yes.
