Introduction 2

..
Generally, the stories in the Quran , would strike me immersely, but Moses’ story in a special way.. It would strIck me every time it was mentioned, and the magicians scene with their snakes and sticks , and Moses’ stick coming and taking over them was a scene of beauty for me, I kept imagining the scene over and over.. as such as I would imagine the seperation of the sea
And the sea aplit open and the two parts separated into huge mountains. …However, there was a specific scene which would attract me towards it even stronger, a scene by whcih a child’s imagination would go beyond till he can not imagine anymore.. and who can? then I would come back, after failing to imagine ,trying to imagine the scene again , and each time I read the scnece it would give me a strong shock or tremble , and I would read the verse again:

143. And when Moses presented himself according to Our promise, his Lord spoke to turn. He said: Lord! Show me, that I may see You. He said: You can never see Me, but look towards the mountain. If it stays in its place, then you will see Me. Then the light of his Lord began to glow on the mountain, the mountain burst into pieces and Moses fell unconscious. When he awoke, he said: Glory be to You! I turn towards You and I am the first of the believers. (Al-A’raf)
When reading, each time, I would look with Moses towards the mountain! and wait for the mountain to stay in its place so that Moses could see his Lord!! finding out once again that it doesnt stay still !! then I would imagine bursting of the mountaion into pieces , till Moses fells unconcious, remaining for a while unconcious till he wakes up again.
