created from Nur Muhammad. Furthermore, Edward Djamaris

in the book "Tambo" explains:
So at that time it was not yet the beginning, the

end was not yet, the Spirit and Kalam were not yet, the

Throne and the chairs were not yet (not even Aulia and
Anbiya), the earth and the sky had not yet, the universe

did not exist yet, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala took a look
Him with His pious nature, (thanks to His nature and

iradat then) light rises from the ghaybu 'l-ghuyub, so
Nur Muhammad becomes. (TM episode v(1):4-11).

Then every word is the institution; from where it

came out (that institution), then that is from our Lord
God Almighty for revealing His truth. And words (this is

customary). Is there a different place for that custom to
come out? So there is no other way out but through Nur

Muhammad, because in it there are fingerprints,
tablighs, and mandates. And words are right. Another

place to go out? Nothing but the angel Gabriel, because

Jibrail is the messenger of Allah the Exalted who sent
down all the laws of Allah's book. (TM episode v(2):5-

43
14).
