Even though various interpretations of the descent of this verse have been mentioned by exegetes, let's focus on its intended meaning. It says: it's not as the Jews imagined that the real Sovereign created the Moses-like radiance, endowed him with the mantle of prophecy, and then His hands were tied and He was unable to send a messenger after Moses. Notice this meaningless statement, how far it is from the law of knowledge and understanding. And today, all of these people are busy with such nonsense. Over a thousand years have passed that they have been reciting this verse and objecting to the Jews unconsciously, not noticing and not realizing that they themselves secretly and openly say what the Jews believed. 

As you've heard, they say all manifestations have ended and the doors of God's mercy have closed. No more spiritual sun rises from the holy east, no waves appear from the sea of the eternal step, and no visible temple comes from the tent of divine unseen. This is the understanding of these ignorant people. They have considered the universal grace and expanded mercy, which can never be severed by any intellect or perception, to be limited. From all sides, they've tightened the belt of oppression and lost ambition, trying to turn the fire of the lotus tree into salty, stale water, oblivious that the glass of power keeps the lamp of unity safe in its fortress. 

This humiliation is enough for this group who have been deprived of the real purpose and veiled from the subtlety and essence of the matter. The ultimate divine grace that has been destined for the servants is to meet God and recognize Him, to which everyone has been promised. This is the ultimate grace of the ever-gracious foot for His servants and the perfection of absolute favor for His creation, none of whom have been blessed with this boundary and have not been honored with this great dignity. 

Despite the many verses that have been revealed and explicitly point to this great subject and significant matter, they have denied and interpreted it according to their own desires. As it says: "And those who disbelieve in the signs of Allah and meeting Him, those have despaired of My mercy, and they will have a painful punishment." It also says: "Those who think that they will meet their Lord and that they will return to Him." In another position: "Those who assume that they will meet God, how often a small group overcomes a large group." In another position: "So whoever hopes to meet his Lord, let him do righteous work." In another position: "He regulates the command, He details the signs, so that you will be certain of the meeting with your Lord."
