and He assumed a likeness to the angels through the luminous form just as He assumed a likeness to human beings through the human form. Yet He is immensely magnified and exalted above sharing a likeness in the reality of the matter. It is the path of the verifying mystic to acknowledge both modes of existence, recognize Him through both visions, and declare Him transcendent above both states."

And it is stated in the book Taqwīm al-Asmā’:

"When the believer reaches the perfection of his faith—such that he hears through Allah and sees through Allah, and recognizes the cosmic realities, meaning he recognizes the realities of the persons of whatever exists in the cosmos, becomes capable of ascending to the Abode of Eternity and Permanence, recognizes the Gate (al-Bāb), and arrives finally at the recognition of the Veil (al-Ḥijāb)—he perceives Allah at that point in the form of the elderly Sheikh, like Moses, glorified is his glory; and in the form of the young child, like Jesus, glorified is his glory; and in the form of the elegant, robust youth with twisted mustache, like Muhammad, glorified is his glory.
