" As for the wisdom of tajalli and the discourse on the form of the fire, this was because it was
the object of Musa's desire. Allah gave him a tajalli in what he was searching for so that
Musa would turn to Him and not turn away. If Allah had given the tajalli in other than the
form which he was seeking, Musa would have turned away because his interest was
concentrated on a particular goal. If he had turned away, his action would have rebounded on
him, and Allah would have turned away from him. Musa was the chosen one and the one
brought near. When Allah brings someone near to Him, He gives him a tajalli in the object he
desires, without him knowing it.
Like the Fire of Musa
which he saw as what he needed.
It was Allah,
but he did not perceive it. "
