Moses pbuh is a prophet from Uli Al-Azem from the messengers, and yet he still fails?

So Moses pbuh came to meet the Virtuous Servant because he thought he had fought himself and killed the “I” within him. Thus, it was demanded from him that he be patient and fight himself while accompanying the Virtuous Servant, and not tell the Virtuous Servant, “if only you had done this or had not done that.” When he faces one who is higher than him in rank by saying this, he clearly and distinctly shows the “I” within him as opposed to the one he is commanded to follow and to whose commands he must submit.

In fact, the matter returns to Moses facing Allah swt, as he says each time “I” in opposition to the Virtuous Servant, which means that he said “I” in opposition to Allah swt. And this is the test in monotheism which many of those who walk towards Allah swt have failed, meaning that they perhaps underestimate their saying, “I” in opposition to the successor of Allah or his sayings when they suggest their opinions in opposition to the command of the successors of Allah, whereas it is “I” in opposition to Allah swt in its truth and reality, and as they have come to be tested in this, they fail without even paying attention to their failure.

Moses pbuh failed with the Virtuous Servant, but he was not a failure of the Divine test, rather, he had achieved great success but at the same time it was limited, so when he was tested with that which was beyond it, he failed.

The Virtuous Servant used to say to Moses pbuh, “You will accompany me while you know I am a proof upon you and Allah commanded you to obey me, but you will not be as Allah commanded you to be and you will not be as you vowed, rather the “I” will appear from your depths and you will object to me although I am a proof upon you and although you vowed to be patient,” but he said it in this form:

﴾“Verily you will not be able to have patience with me.”﴿

Since fighting the “I” is in ranks, then if someone fought himself at a certain rank, he would definitely fail if he was tested at a higher rank by someone higher than him.

﴾“Verily you will not be able to have patience with me.”﴿: The Virtuous Servant was strict with Moses and he reprimanded him for each break of the agreement between them. And he rebuked Moses pbuh because he [Moses] broke his previous vow himself.

And in all this, the Virtuous Servant alerted Moses that he is more knowledgeable than him, and that he [Moses] is commanded to follow him and learn from him so that Moses pbuh would know his ignorance and not perish. Despite that, Moses pbuh was not patient and he objected and questioned the Virtuous Servant in everything he said. There is a defect in you Moses, so pay attention.

﴾He [the servant] said, “Verily You will not be able to have patience with me.” …He [the servant] said, “Did I not tell you that you will not be able to have patience with me?” …He [the servant] said, “Did I not tell you that you will not be able to have patience with me?” ...He answered, “This is a parting between me and you. I will tell you the interpretation of that about which you were not able to have patience.” …and I did not do it by my own command. That is the interpretation of that about which you were not able to have patience.”﴿

Do you notice that the Virtuous Servant would barely ever speak to Moses without telling him, “You will not be patient with me”?

The truth which the Virtuous Servant wanted to deliver to Moses pbuh is that there are higher and more superior ranks than that which you have reached and ascended to, O Moses. That is because the creation who possessed, achieved, or knew a certain limited perfection might think that it is the full perfection, and that perfection only happens by him.

And I give this example: A bird flies at a maximum height of 100 meters, and another flies at a maximum height of 200 meters, and a third flies at a maximum height of 1000 meters. That which flies at the height of 200 meters sees the birds which fly at the height of 100 meters beneath him, but if he thought that he reached the top, he would be on the edge of perishing. And this is what happened with Moses pbuh and that is why Allah commanded Gabriel to save him and direct him toward meeting the Virtuous Servant.

Also, the bird which flies at the height of 1000 meters, when it tests the birds which fly at the height of 100 or 200 meters to demonstrate to them their incapability and imperfection, they verily fail with this bird, because it will make them fly at the height of 300 meters for example which is a height very easy for it, yet very difficult for those whose limit is 100 or 200 meters.

And the truth and the truth I say unto you: Our sights are supposed to be directed to the higher, in order for us to know our incapability and to ascend, and our sights are not supposed to be directed to the lower so that we take pride in our perfection, and thus perish.

And the truth is that so many believe that they are at the top, but they are all not at the top. And those who are at the genuine top in the creation do not see or believe that they are at the top, because they simply knew it is an illusional top and not a genuine one so how could it ever be called a top, while its ratio to what is above it is zero, because it [what is above it] is absolute and infinite? And how would they see and believe that it is a top while in this sight of theirs, there is all this shame and disgrace? That is because it means that they say “I” so arrogantly in opposition to He swt.

And let no one who reads my words imagine that this is just about who is above them, meaning that if they looked at those beneath them they would believe they are at the top. Rather they absolutely do not believe that they are at the top, because they have simply known the truth which the rest of creation has lost. The rest of creation, if they looked at these supporters of Allah pbut with devotion, they would see them as divine light while these supporters of Allah pbut look at He who created them swt and He is light with no darkness within, so they see that they are darkness themselves. And their dark identity is what differentiates them from Him swt, and that places them in permanent rumination of themselves and permanent regret over that which they neglected in regard to Allah, because they considered themselves and considered their existence and they requested their existence and remaining in opposition to the existence and remaining of Allah swt.

The Prince of Believers Ali pbuh said,

My lord I have done myself injustice by considering it, so it is damned if You do not forgive it.^[1]

And the forgiveness which Ali pbuh is requesting is that which Muhammad pbuhap achieved, and it is the forgiveness resulting from the opening, in the saying of Allah swt,

1. ﴾“We have bestowed upon you a clear opening,

2. so that Allah forgives the guilt of your past and future, and completes His grace upon you and grants you a straight path.”﴿^[2]

-Surat Al-Fath (The Victory) 48.
