He then added:
“In houses that Allah has allowed to be raised and wherein His name is remembered—men glorify Him there morning and evening, men whom neither trade nor sale distracts from the remembrance of Allah, the establishment of prayer, and the giving of alms. They fear a Day on which hearts and eyes will be upended, so that Allah may recompense them with the best of what they used to do and increase them out of His bounty. Allah provides for whom He wills without measure.” ⦗An-Nūr 24:36⦘
In the same way, the passages found in the Scriptures that speak of His manifestation at Bayt al-Maqdis are like those that speak of His manifestation on Mount Sinai and on Mount Paran. Yet Moses—and everyone else—never saw Him, whether in His own essence or indwelling within another. The Messiah declared that no one has seen Him, as did others; this sweeping negation demonstrates that He is not seen—neither directly nor while indwelling—in the dwelling place of this worldly life, as has been detailed elsewhere. It is obvious that physical commingling with something is a stronger claim than simply seeing it; therefore, if the Lord—exalted is He—cannot be seen by human nature, it is even more certain that human nature cannot commingle with Him. Nevertheless, the Christians assert that He united with the human nature, and that is a claim far graver than mere vision.
