30. Then, when Moses reached it, a voice called out to him from the right side of the valley, from a blessed spot, from a tree: "O Moses! Indeed, I am Allah [40], the Lord of all the worlds."

Reaching Tuwa, Speaking with Allah, and Receiving Prophethood:

This was not fire, nor was smoke rising from it. Rather, it was the light of Allah, which had encompassed a tree, and amidst this fire or light, the lush green tree was waving. A voice began to come from this tree, saying, "Musa! You have not reached here by coincidence, but you have arrived in this blessed valley exactly according to My plan, and I, Allah, am speaking to you, the Lord of all the worlds." (At this point, the details of the conversation between Allah and Musa have been omitted, which are mentioned in Surah Ta-Ha and other places.)
