Commentary
Tajallaa –
(was revealed, appeared), it is a past tense and the origin of this word
is tajallii, which has been derived from Jalwah. Jalwah means
“Clear, luster, appearance”. Tajallii means “glory,
brightness, splendor, to become public or manifest, to be revealed, to appear”.
Sa-‘iqaa –
(senseless), it is an adjective, which has been derived from sa-‘aqun.
Sa-‘aqun means “senselessness, stupefaction, sub-consciousness”. Sa-‘iqun means
that individual; who has lost his conscious.
Having
keen interest to see Allah Almighty, Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him)
requested to Him: Show me Thy Self with my existing eyes. God Almighty replied:
It is not possible that any human eye may see to Me. Not only the eye of human
body, even any material thing of the world cannot afford My Splendor.
Concerning to it, for your satisfaction, I say to you to look unto the
mountain. I shall put a little reflection of the Light on it, if it endured,
then you will be able to see Me.
It
is commanded that for assuring Moses (peace be upon Him) that none can see
Allah Almighty openly in the world, He (God Almighty) put a little splendor on
the mountain. That part of the mountain; upon which, a little Brightness was
sent, it crashed down to the ground level as dust particles. Moses (peace be
upon Him) could not bear this scene and fell down senseless.
After
some time, when Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him) woke, He accepted: Truly O
Lord! You are not like to any creature. Therefore, these eyes cannot see Thee.
Thou art pure from those things, to which these eyes perceive. I am present in
Thy Court being abashed on my application and I am the first individual; who
has attained fully this faith practically that really, it is not possible to see
Thee in this world. It needs such power and vision, which may see the colorless
and unconditional reality. Thou art pure from the color and physical
conditions. Therefore these outward eyes are entirely helpless here. Conducts
of the glory of Allah Almighty are endless.
Body
of the things depends somehow on its luster but its innate brightness is hidden
in any veil. Outside of the veil, its signs manifest. Some of those signs can
be seen also by the human eye.
Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him) desired to view the innate Brightness unveiled, otherwise;
first of all, when He (peace be upon Him) was appointed as a Prophet, He had
seen the glory in the veil of “the Fire on a tree”. The experience of that time
assured Him (peace be upon Him) fully that the veil is incumbent for the innate
splendor in the world, so He (peace be upon Him) repented being ashamed due to
His own boldness.
