This is His saying, the Almighty, in the story of Moses when: "{He observed a fire from the side of the Mount. He said to his family, 'Stay here; indeed, I have observed a fire, perhaps I will bring you from it tidings or a burning coal from the fire that you may warm yourselves.}" 1

And in a second verse: "{When he saw a fire and said to his family, 'Stay here; indeed, I have observed a fire, perhaps I will bring you from it a burning brand or find at the fire guidance.' And when he came to it, he was called, 'O Moses, Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa.}" 2 ..up to the saying of our Master in the Jurisprudence (Fiqh) of the Epistle: "So the Persians magnified Fire and awaited the Manifestation from it, due to that [previous] Manifestation. Thus, they constantly establish it, display it, kindle it, and await His Manifestation and His promise. For this reason, the Persians observed Nowruz and the Wreath (Iklil)."
