Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) was assured that it is impossible to see God Almighty in this world with these eyes because no hardest thing of the world can endure the manifestation of Allah Almighty without any curtain, then what to speak of the eye?

 Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) is being addressed in this verse that His work is of very high dignity and it is the proof of this preference that Allah Almighty has elevated his status. Therefore, He (peace be upon Him) should be thankful to Allah Almighty and perform His duty with great emphasis.

Dependence of the mankind’s magnificence in the world is on the nature of that work; for which; God Almighty has appointed him. Vision of Divine is not the matter of this world but of the Futurity (after this life).

It is commanded that Allah Almighty said to Moses (peace be upon Him): O Moses! You should be happy that I have selected you to deliver My Messages unto the human beings and that I talked with you personally and directly. So you should hold that; which I have given to you by My Grace and be thankful to Me for it.

After that, some tablets were given to Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him), upon which, the Commands and Guidance – how to act upon Them; were written (it aims Torah). So it is commanded: And We wrote for him {Moses (peace be upon Him)}, upon the tablets, the lesson to be drawn from all things and the explanation of all things (giving advice and lectures, persuading – how to avoid the matters of ignorance, difference between lawful and unlawful in detail, the laws regarding punishment for sinners and evildoers, how to worship and entire matters about the religion were mentioned upon those tablets), (these tablets were handed over to Moses and commanded): Act (your best with force) upon these Commands and say to your nation i.e. the Children of Israel from Me side that they should take better things from these Commands and follow them. That is to say; they should choose; not only the leaves and permissions; but those Commands also; acting upon which, there is a promise of more rewards.

The religion remains safe till that time until its better matters are preserved with effort. Then it is commanded by Allah Almighty: I shall show you the abode of those evil-doers who gripped up their loins to disobey My Commands.
