Translation

“And I have made you (a Prophet).”

Tafsir

Hazrat Musa 'alaihis-salâm' was elevated to the position of Prophethood through the covenant he made with Allah (swt) and the fatefulness of this covenant to him, and he was commissioned by Allah (swt) to be a Prophet to the people as a servant and Rasul of Allah (swt). In this respect, He says, I have made you in need of My Essence.

What is said in the video

In the forty-first verse, a wrongly interpreted verse. The forty-first. It says: I chose you as a messenger for Myself, it says. For Myself. Now here we would call out to Allah Almighty: Let's choose me too. I'm jealous, if only He loved me too; you too would say, if only He had loved me too. You know, now since these are from the spirit of the first created, in proportion to Allah's will He will send 124,000 prophets, you see; because they were the first created, "there I chose him" He does not say. Look at the beauty of the wording here, and "I appointed you, I made you a messenger," He says.

"I appointed." That is, you were, among those first created, a prophet, a messenger, He says. The time came, I sent you. The time came. You see, when people lack this knowledge, there is nonsense like this. Yes. It is that Moses (peace be upon him), by the covenant he gave to Allah Almighty and this covenant becoming his destiny, rose to the rank of prophethood, and as the servant and Messenger of Allah Almighty, by Allah Almighty, to people as a prophet was tasked. For this reason He says: I appointed you for My Self. That is, I made you a messenger, He says. This is the meaning here. Not "I chose you for Myself".

There is no choosing at all. So it says. What does it say? Let me look here again. Well, "I chose you as a messenger for Myself", it says. For Myself. Is there someone else besides Allah?

Right? If there had been another god besides Allah, one would take what he created, the other would take what he created, and everything would be (?). So, if he is a messenger, he is the messenger of our Lord, the Owner of the worlds, whose power and strength, you see, is infinite. He is the messenger of the Owner of the worlds. When it says "I chose a messenger for Myself", it's as if there were someone else besides Him, and Allah Almighty chooses Moses as a messenger for Himself. Let's say that when He refers to Himself, it refers to Allah, besides whom there is no god, let's say. But of course it goes into meanings as (?).

Let's accept it this way. The meaning "chose" muddles people's minds. Allah chooses no one. Even to the spirits of the prophets He created from the first spirit, from the spirit of the Prophet — look what He says. From your spirits I will create the spirits of your peoples, and you, as their father and elder, to your peoples as messengers I will send. Do you accept? The verse, the verse I mentioned. They say yes. I too am among the witnesses with you, He says. Where is "chose" here?

Yes. You understand, I suppose.

Make it up, make it up, say it. Make it up, make it up, say it. So, the errors and mistakes in the translations, attributing to Allah qualities, Moses (peace be upon him), by the covenant he gave to Allah Almighty and this covenant becoming his destiny, rose to the rank of prophethood, and as the servant and Messenger of Allah Almighty, was by Allah Almighty, to people, as a prophet tasked. For this reason He says: I appointed you for My Self. That is, Allah Almighty chose a messenger: it is His sending him as a messenger, His sending him as an honored messenger.
