The misinterpretation

This is how we did them so that we could test them in this regard. Whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, We will send him to a painful punishment.

The right translation

We have tested them on this matter (so that they would manifest who they really are). Those who turn away from your Lord’s remembrance, We drive them towards a punishment very harsh.

Explanation

This is the wrong place in this verse: We did so that We might try. The truth is: Those who are in blessings are also being tested.

As we have always said, because they do not know the 172nd Verse of Surah A'raf, because they cannot comprehend its meaning, they have always misinterpreted such Verse Verses and attributed shortcomings to our Lord. Our Lord has programmed these worlds. According to what was this program? Surely He did not program these worlds in a random way. When He programmed these worlds, He programmed what humans and creatures would do in advance, in Kalu Bela, the sustenance of His creations, their lifespans, where and when they would do what. He has also made a covenant with human beings one by one. Since people's will is in their own hands, He has given them their own desires and wishes within their own will. In this case, whatever people have willed from our Lord, our Lord has given people what they have willed and written their destiny. Our Lord says in His verse: There is not a single creature that will come until the Day of Resurrection that we do not know what it will do.

Those who do not know our Lord's covenant with human beings in Sûra A'râf, those commentators who cannot comprehend the meaning of where, how and what kind of a covenant our Lord made with human beings when He made a covenant with them, think that they can give the meaning of these Verses with their knowledge of Arabic, and when they give the meaning of the Verses, they confuse the Verses with each other and attribute our Lord with incomplete attributes. Although they themselves knew that they were in a predicament, they could not find a way out of it because they lacked knowledge. In this respect, Our Lord does not need to test anyone. The truth of the verse is: Those who are in blessings are also being tested. And whoever turns away, He will put them into a torment of increasing severity.

What is said in the video

In Surah Al-Jinn, verse 17, there is an error.

We did this so as to test them in this matter, it says. Allah tests no one. Allah has no need to test. There isn't a single living being to come until the Day of Judgment whose doings He doesn't know. Never mind living beings — a tree leaf, it says, doesn't stir without My permission. A tree leaf, until the Day of Judgment, doesn't stir without My permission. in this case by what reasoning are you making Allah Almighty test here? You know, in Surah Al-A'raf, verse 172, why did Allah Almighty make a covenant with people, what was the reason for the covenant? To leave man free in his own will according to his partial will, and his desire and wish to give him as his aim, and to write his destiny. Allah Almighty, who writes this destiny, doesn't know what people will do until the Day of Judgment, so He tests them?

People unaware of the verses. Yes. Who- ever turns away from his Lord's remembrance, We drive him to a most arduous punishment, it says. Correct. Now what does it say — we read the correct one: those in blessings are also under test. Here, in verse 17, it says "We did this so as to test them in this matter", whereas those in blessings are also under test. And whoever turns away, We put them into a severe, ever-increasing punishment, it says. (?). Here they've written the verse entirely to suit their own minds. Yes.
