And similar to it is the saying of the Almighty, narrating about Moses—peace be upon him:
{...and he saw a fire on the side of the mount. He said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire. Perhaps I can bring you from it some news or a burning brand from the fire that you may warm yourselves." But when he came to it, he was called from the right bank of the valley in the blessed spot, from the tree, "O Moses, indeed I am Allah, Lord of the worlds... Indeed, I am your Lord, so remove your sandals. Indeed, you are in the sacred valley of Tuwa."} (Taha: 29-31 / Al-Qasas: 30).
And similar to it is the saying of the Almighty: {Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth} (Al-Nur: 35).
And His saying: {Faces, that Day, will be radiant, looking at their Lord} (Al-Qiyama: 22-23).
There are many such proofs in the Quran, the Torah, the Gospel, and other books of Tawhid (Divine Unity) that I have omitted for the sake of brevity.
Among His names—Exalted is He—are The Light (Al-Nur), The Manifest (Al-Zahir), The Truth (Al-Haqq), and The Evident (Al-Mubin). The Outward meanings of these statements also contradict one another. For he who believes in the Outward must necessarily call the verses of Manifestation (Ayat al-Zuhur) a lie; and whoever calls the verses of Manifestation a lie has called the Word of Allah a lie.
