Translation

“Oh Moses! Know that I am Allah, Azeez (Exalted) and Hakeem (All-Wise).”

Tafsir

As it is understood from this Verse, the Light that appears in the form of fire is Allah.

O Moses! Know well that I am Allah, the Almighty, the All-Wise, the All-Powerful, the All-Wise, in order to bring Moses to his senses and to give him time to think and not to frighten him. Allah (swt) emphasizes that He is Allah by mentioning His attributes. Because Allah is the absolute victor in His property. Allah is the owner of wisdom. You see good people turn bad and bad people turn good one day. Allah, the owner of wisdom, is the wisdom of what He has created and why He has created it and why His creatures are engaged in these tasks.

What is said in the video

Verse 9, Surah An-Naml, verse 9: O Moses! Know well that I am Allah, the Absolutely Victorious and Possessor of wisdom. Absolutely victorious. As understood from this verse, the divine light appearing as fire is Allah. But it is seen in the form of fire, not the form of the essence. Not as when He made the covenant with us and appeared in human form. Indeed, the beauty of the spirit, in the form of the essence, that is, with these attributes we have seen, is transcendent. And Allah Almighty, from the part of the universal spirit, has scattered it to people. If, from this whole to its parts, from our father Adam until the Day of Judgment, people do not resemble one another, if even twins, though close to each other, do not resemble each other, if so many forms arise from the part, then that the forms in the whole change, you can accept all the more.

(?) Yes.

We went a bit deep, I think.

O Moses, know that I am Allah, the Absolutely Victorious and Possessor of wisdom. As understood from this verse, the divine light appearing as fire is Allah. His saying, 'O Moses, know well that I am Allah, the Absolutely Victorious and Possessor of wisdom,' is so that Moses (peace be upon him) comes to his senses, and to give him time to think and not frighten him. Allah Almighty, by stating qualities particular to His essence, emphasizes that He is Allah. Because in His dominion Allah is the Absolutely Victorious. Allah is the Possessor of wisdoms. You may see good people turn bad, and bad people one day turn good, you will see. Why Allah, the Possessor of wisdom, created what, and the wisdom of why His creations are in these duties, only Allah Almighty knows.
