Ar-Ra'd 39: Those who desire blot out Allah’s (Book). (Those who desire) confirm and keep it. The Mother of all Books (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz) is in the sight of Allah.

There is a verse that was interpreted wrongly; let's look at it here.

Yes, let's look at the wrong version: what was wrong in it, and what is right? Let's read it here for you.

Surah Ar-Ra'd, verse 39.

Now, to the wrongly interpreted part I am drawing your attention. Pay attention here.

Allah erases what He wills, and keeps fixed what He wills. The origin of all books is with Him, it says.

Now, gentlemen, pay attention.

Do the words even match each other? Use your logic. Allah erases what He wills. He keeps fixed what He wills. Fixed. The origin of all books is with Him. Well, if the origin of all books is with Him, why doesn't He write the original, but erases what He wills and sends what He wills?

Does logic accept this?

Right? He erased what He willed, left what He willed. The origin, the origin of all books is with Him. Well, what does it want? (?) in the verse, does it say (?)? It says: Allah's word in pre-eternity, in pre-eternity, whatever it is, in eternity it is the same. Well now, doesn't this contradict that? Does it fit logic? And these people who interpret the Quran know Arabic very well, too.

Yes. May Allah protect us. What do we say? In this case the superstitious are compelled to anyway. We will say this to those superstitious ones. They find naskh, abrogation, in the Quran. And I say for the sake of Allah: in the hadiths I put two, three, four verses there. I say here: according to these verses, is there abrogation? Because this person doesn't know the verse's meaning, by his own mind, carelessly, whatever is easiest for him. That one was changed by this, this one by that. What is the aim? In most of the hadiths it states abrogation. It supposedly shows this with verses. The aim is to make a hodgepodge of the Book.

To make a hodgepodge of Allah's verses, so that people wonder which was changed by which, which one shall I believe, and to throw people into doubt among the verses. We are writing these down anyway. We are writing these down too.

Whichever superstitious one, I say, says there is abrogation in the Quran, (?), I say, he is in ignorance of those verses.

He does not understand the verse. Yes. When Allah Almighty says: do not marry polytheists, when He says: marry the People of the Book, saying this was abrogated by that, the poor man, writing the Quran's verse (?), that the verses abrogate one another, whereas the two verses have nothing to do with each other. One: polytheist. Whom do they call that? The man doesn't know this. Not knowing it, he puts the polytheist on the same scale as the People of the Book. Then, where it says don't marry a polytheist, look, it says marry the People of the Book. These were abrogated, he says. And the blessed, superstitious man.

Polytheists are what they call idolaters. Allah Almighty says this in His verse. They call you to the Fire, it says. Do not marry them. Until they become Muslim. But you may marry the People of the Book, it says. Now: People of the Book, unbelievers, non-Muslims, polytheists and idolaters. Is there any connection between this and that? Which verse here was abrogated by which?

Full of (?). Here too: Allah erases what He wills, keeps fixed what He wills. Then: the origin of the whole Book is with Him. If the origin of the Book is with Allah, why did You not send it to these people from the original? Didn't You always speak the truth? Allah Almighty says: I speak the truth. I always speak the truth anyway, He says. If You always speak the truth, is what You said now in these verses true? God forbid, not Allah. By ascribing attributes to Allah, to Allah, they impute guilt to Him. They slander.

And then those who have mortgaged their minds to superstitions,

stuck on the view of the world seen by those they mortgaged them to, poor people who do not want to see the truth. Because those superstitions have put people's minds in pawn, and show them things from their own worldview. Yet Allah Almighty's verse says: do you not use your reason? Do you never reflect, it says.

If I am explaining to you, do not mortgage your minds to my words. Compare with your free thinking, with your reason. Compare. Allah gave us reason. We know by our reason who is right and who is crooked. So if, beside the one who explains the truth, you say: who is this, then, and turn your back on the truth, the one you called "who is this" has fulfilled his duty. Just as those non-Muslims spoke to the prophets: if you address the heir of the prophet like this, tomorrow on the Day of Judgement, in the hereafter too... Yes. In the evening, for whatever reason.

So: whoever wills erases Allah's Book, whoever wills keeps it fixed. The Mother Book, the origin of all books, is with Him. It is with Allah.

In a time of ignorance people may be sinners. Or they may live as unbelievers. That is, they may live as kuffar. Whoever understands that Allah is the Truth, realizes that what they did was bad, repents, returns to Allah, asks His pardon and prays for forgiveness, Allah erases all of this servant's sins. Yes.

Because Allah did not create people free of error. Certainly every human is flawed and incomplete. That is why those who, within (?), give in to the feelings of the nafs and become sinners, or who do not know Allah and His Messenger, if they later realize that what they did was a bad deed, and that there is no god but Allah, and grasp that at the end of worldly life, in the hereafter, people will be called to account for what they did, and turn to Allah and repent, Allah forgives such servants their sins. The Prophet (peace be upon him) too says in his hadiths: even if your sins reached the clouds in the sky, when you repent with a sincere heart, our Lord turns it into a good deed, he says.

Yes.

There is no other door to go to but Allah, that a person might turn to it and be saved. So Allah erases the sins of such servants. He even turns this burden of sin into reward.

On the other hand, one keeps turning away from Allah and His Messenger. The sins he commits appear adorned to him. Now, when I say "appear adorned" here, again a wrongly interpreted verse comes to mind. We made their sins appear adorned to them, it says.

Yes. How do they ascribe this to Allah? Allah made their sins appear adorned to them.

Whereas the sins they committed appeared adorned to them. We write it so nicely, after all. The sins they commit appear adorned to them. If they don't believe in Allah and the hereafter and don't return to Allah, yes, their sins too remain fixed on the person. That is, if Allah Almighty gives for good deeds one to 3, 5, 7, 10, 7, 100, 700, then for sins committed one sin remains fixed. And when this person passes to the hereafter, he receives the recompense corresponding to his sins. Whatever people deserve, Allah gives them the recompense they deserve. Allah Almighty sent books to past prophets.

The Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel. People, for material gain, changed the verses of these books with their own hands. Therefore the originals of these books are nowhere to be found. That is, you cannot find their originals on earth. Except the Quran. Except the Quran. I mean those books. In that situation, the original of what they hold is only in the Quran. Yes.

People changed the verses of these books with their own hands for material gain. Therefore the originals of these books are nowhere to be found. The originals of these books are gathered only in the Quran. The original. And no human power will be able to change the Quran. The reason: We sent down the Quran, and We are its guardian until the Day of Judgement, says Allah Almighty. Not a single letter of it will be distorted or damaged, He says. That is, it cannot be altered.

All the books, in their originals, unaltered, exist in the Quran. No human power can change the verses of the Quran. Because Allah sent down a verse about it. We sent down the Quran, and We are its guardian until the Day of Judgement. Not in a single letter of it, nor in a single dot, will any distortion or damage be made. At the same time, with His verses saying: with Him is a Book preserved in the Preserved Tablet, to which nothing is added afterwards nor anything taken away, the origin of all books is with Allah. People, however, will be held responsible for these books made known to them.

Yes, for these books they will be held responsible.
