8. Then, when he came there, a call was made: "Blessed is whoever is in the fire and whoever is around it [8], and Glory be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds."
[8]
When he reached there, he saw a strange sight. The fire had engulfed a tree, but the tree remained as green and flourishing as ever. There was no one around. No smoke was rising from the fire, and the entire area was illuminated with light. While he was standing there in amazement, a call came from that light or from the tree: “Musa, take off your shoes. You have now reached the sacred valley of Tuwa, and you have not come here by mistake, but have arrived exactly according to Our plan. Whoever is in this fire and around it is blessed. This fire, this tree, you yourself, and the angels nearby—all are blessed and full of blessings. And the Being of Allah, Who is the Lord of all the worlds, is free from all kinds of directions and likenesses, and is pure.”
