The Secret Moment That Changed Musa Alayhis Salam's Fate Forever

Musa alayhis salam says to his family, stay here, let me go, let me see what's going on with this light. Something seems to be up. As he approaches the light, Musa alayhis salam is suddenly being spoken to.

Allah says:

When he arrives at the tree, he's called, O Moses, it is me, I am your Lord, so take off your shoes. You have come to the sacred valley of Tuwa. I selected you, now listen to what I have to say.

It is I, Allah. None worthy of worship but me. So worship me, be obedient to me, and establish the prayer for my constant remembrance.

Why Does Allah Reintroduce Himself to Musa?

Pause for a second. Doesn't Musa alayhis salam know who Allah is? His whole life, he believes in Allah. He's been speaking to Allah. Why is Allah introducing himself?

When Allah is giving Musa the mission of going and facing the pharaoh of Egypt, he is about to reintroduce himself to Musa. It's as though he's saying, you might think you know me, but I'm gonna tell you again who I am — because it's super important. So listen carefully.

Why does Allah reintroduce himself to Musa? Because the flame that will drive Musa alayhis salam to topple the tyrants, to travel through the desert, to face the armies — is only one thing. There is only one secret, only one fuel, only one way that a person like Musa alayhis salam — who doubts himself, who's terrified of the mission — there's only one way for him to have the internal strength to do what he's about to do.

That is for him to know Allah.
