and absolute power of His Essence, but with the appearance of a
spark of that grandeur and majesty, and with the strike of a frag-
ment of His command and will, He smashed the mountain, making
it as nothing. As we read in the reciting of Hamze, Kisaî and Halef-i
¤ir, He "crushed it flat." In other words, the mountain disap-

is the fainting and falling to the ground of Prophet Moses (pbuh).
This means that Prophet Moses (pbuh) was unable to withstand
even a relative manifestation. Had there been a full and absolute
Essential manifestation, the whole world and in all probability the
entire universe, would have been obliterated in a single moment.
This was the real wisdom behind Him saying: "You will not see
Me." 65
Other verses reveal that:
We called out to him from the right hand side of the Mount, and We
brought him near in close commun nication. (Surah Maryam: 52)

"Moses, I am God, the Lord of all the worlds." (Surat al-Q Qasas: 30)

Prophet Moses (pbuh), human beings can never see His true essence.
However, they can have dealings with His manifestations. For example,
when dealing with Prophet Moses (pbuh), He manifested Himself in a
bush and in his staff. God never manifests Himself wholly, but only in
the manner and in the entity that He wills. His presence pervades all
