Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In the statement of Allah the Exalted,[Al-A'raf 7:143], what is the meaning of tajalli?
Answer:
The lights. That Allah appeared to the mountain, appeared to the mountain, appeared to the mountain. When Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) appeared to the mountain, He made it crumble into dust. And our Shaykh, Shaykh Abdul-Razzaq, says that Allah did not appear to the mountain with His Essence; rather, His lights appeared to the mountain. This is a matter of consideration, and Allah knows best.
