Translation

“So that we will do Dhikr (Recite Your Names) abundantly.”

Tafsir

The meaning of glorifying Allah (swt) is that every human being wants to speak to a person who will understand him. For this reason, the Prophet (SAW) says, "Speak to people in a way that they can understand and in their capacity. Since Hazrat Musa 'alaihis-salâm' also spoke directly and without intermediaries to Allah (swt), he asked Allah (swt) for someone who could explain his knowledge and understand him.

That is why he asked Hazrat Harun 'alaihis-salâm' to be his helper and partner in his work, because he could not keep the knowledge he had received from Allahu ta'âlâ in himself, so he had to transfer it to someone, and by making Hazrat Harun 'alaihis-salâm' his helper, he transferred this knowledge to Hazrat Harun 'alaihis-salâm' so that they may glorify Allahu ta'âlâ abundantly.

What is said in the video

So that we may glorify You abundantly, he says. Surah Ta-Ha, verse 33. Moses keeps on making requests anyway. What is meant by glorifying Allah Almighty: every person wants to talk with someone who will understand him. That is why the Prophet (peace be upon him) says: speak to people in a way they will understand, (?). Since Moses (peace be upon him) spoke with Allah Almighty directly and without intermediary, someone who would convey the knowledge in him and who would understand him, is what he asked of Allah Almighty.

So, his asking for Aaron (peace be upon him) as a helper and a partner in his task: since he could not keep to himself the knowledge he had received from Allah Almighty, he had to pass it on to someone, because that knowledge overflows. By taking Aaron as his helper, passing this knowledge on to Aaron (peace be upon him), it is so that they would glorify Allah Almighty abundantly. Let's say this is the first meaning. The second meaning: Allah Almighty says, I have such servants that neither buying and selling nor trade keeps them from remembering Me, He says. Now, in every work a person does, must he necessarily remember Allah?

Must he necessarily recite the tawhid? Must he necessarily recite the tasbih? Then what does this mean? That is, neither buying and selling nor trade keeps him from remembering Me, He says. Neither buying and selling nor trade. That is, nothing affects him. He glorifies Allah. How so? I am trading with Ahmet Efendi. I sell Ahmet salt, I sell him sugar. I trade with him again. I constantly remember Allah. Let none of his due pass to me. Considering his situation, let me give one kuruş less. Let me attain Allah's mercy. In all his dealings, in all his thoughts, the moment he lives this, it means he has remembered Allah.

Because Allah is constantly in his mind. In every work he does, every task he takes up, it is not about recalling Allah; with this in mind, constantly it means he has remembered Allah. So: neither buying and selling nor trade keeps him from remembering Me, He says. Is there such a person? There is. There is. How do you know? I never lie, by Allah's (?). I am in that state too. Except for absent-mindedness. We were created with human nature.

All my work is verses, all my work is hadiths, my work is always to think of the truth, my work is to remember Allah. Even if I talk with people, even if I joke, I never overstep the rule of the Sharia.

Yes.
