Lesson
It is
commanded that Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) left to live in solitude on mountain Sinai
for the term fixed by Allah Almighty after preparation. When He (peace be upon
Him) reached there and turned His attention unto Allah Almighty by removing
from all sides, and Allah, the Most High spoke to Him and from this
conversation, He found a strange pleasure and cheerfulness, a desire of seeing
Allah Almighty was born in His heart. He (peace be upon Him) thought: How much
rejoice and awesomeness would be in His (God’s) Presence, Whose Word is so much
pleasant? Due to excessive fondness; He (peace be upon Him) could not think
that a physical eye can see just the colors and patterns of a body. But there
is no form of seeing Him (God) with this eye Who is absolutely pure and devoid of
body and corporeal.
However,
fondness of viewing prevailed so much that unhesitatingly, He (peace be upon
Him) requested: O my Lord! Show me Thy Self in any form, that I may see Thou
with these bodily eyes of mine. It was commanded: Until the human being is
living in this world, he is bound by the constitution of here. This is the
inexorable law that physical eye cannot see any unconditional thing.
However, it can
be so, that any such scene should be produced before you, with which,
helplessness of the matter should manifest upon you that the hardest thing of
the world, even any most solid thing cannot bear the Splendor of God Almighty,
to Whom you desire to see. The human eye is the weakest thing in the material
sense. How will it bear That Light (of Allah Almighty)?
You should gaze
upon the mountain, which is in front of you. We are going to put Our a little Brightness
on it. If it endured and stood still in its place, then you will also be able
to see Us. Otherwise, you should understand that in this world, seeing Allah
Almighty is not possible.
The eyes, which
have been given to the humankind in this world, with them, he cannot see many
things in their original form. For example; the pleasure is a hidden thing, which
cannot be seen by these eyes. But one can see its signs. Design of the human
face is changed. Smile on the lips, a special kind of movement of the limbs, a
new glow in the eyes, frolic and jumping, laughing and a particular kind of
laughter, observing these gestures collectively, the sense of one decides that
he gains happiness and these are its indications. In the same way, a mankind
cannot see Allah Almighty, but by observing His Revelations and Tokens, can
know Him easily and set up His conception in own heart.
