The Fallacy of the Christians’ Claim That God Resided in the Tree as He Resided in Jesus, Peace Be U

The commentators said in their interpretation of the aforementioned verses the following: “So when he came to it” meaning when Moses, peace be upon him, came to the fire that he saw: he was called from the right side of the valley. The right side is said to be from Yemen and the blessing, and it is said from the right side in relation to Moses. The side of the valley: its edge in the blessed spot in the land of Ash-Sham described as a blessing and for the revelation to descend there upon Moses from the tree, meaning from near the tree or from its direction, “O Moses, indeed I am Allah, Lord of the worlds” meaning the one who addresses you and speaks to you is Allah, Lord of the worlds, the doer of whatever He wills . There is no god but Him and no lord but Him, the Most High, the Most Holy and Exalted, and He is far removed from resembling the creations in His essence, attributes, sayings and actions, glory be to Him, the Most High. Al-Tabari said: The interpretation of the statement is: So when he came to it, Allah the Almighty called to Moses from the right bank of the valley in the blessed spot from the tree , “O Moses, indeed I am Allah , Lord of the worlds. ” These verses are from the story of Moses, peace be upon him, and they have been repeated in the Holy Quran with different wordings to diversify the story and renew the listener’s interest, as the author of At-Tahrir wa At-Tanwir said. They came in Surat Taha, An-Naml, Al-Qasas, and An-Nazi’at. As for what the people of misguidance among the Christians and others say that Allah the Almighty is inhabited by any of His creation, this is false. Allah is far above what the wrongdoers say, and there is no proof for them in this noble verse, as Ibn Al-Jawzi and others said, because Moses, peace be upon him , heard the words of Allah the Almighty from the direction of the tree, and what is meant is not that Allah the Almighty is inhabited by things, as the deviants say.
