What is the validity of the statement that the manifestation (tajalli) in the verse of His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He), “When his Lord manifested Himself to the mountain,” is the light of Allah?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: In the saying of His Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He)[Al-A'raf 7:143], what is the meaning of this manifestation? And is the interpretation of those who explained it as the light of Allah correct?
Answer:
The verse mentions that his Lord manifested Himself. Why do we add and say “His light manifested”? It is that his Lord manifested Himself in a manner befitting the majesty of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Allah intended to show Musa that he could not bear to see Allah in this world. The mountain, the firmly established mountain, did not remain standing when Allah manifested Himself to it. So how can He manifest Himself to a human being in this world? That is in the Hereafter. Allah grants the believers the strength to see Him (Glorified and Exalted is He) to honor them with that. Their eyes are satisfied with their Lord. As for in this world, no one sees Allah. People are not able to see Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.

But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level
