What is the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And your Lord came, and the angels”?

Question:
The questioner says: We are students at a university outside Saudi Arabia, and one of the professors interpreted the saying of Allah the Exalted Is that correct?

Answer:
This is what the people of ta'wil (figurative interpretation) say; it is not just this professor. This is found in some books of tafsir, and it is wrong. “Your Lord came” means Allah Himself came, Glorified and Exalted is He. It does not say “the command of your Lord came”; it says “your Lord came.” The command is not called a Lord. Whoever says that the command is a Lord has not understood that “your Lord came” is a true coming befitting His Majesty, Glorified and Exalted is He. This is among His actions that befit His greatness and Majesty. It is not like the coming of a created being, but rather it is a coming befitting Allah and His greatness, Glorified and Exalted is He.
