Here the spiritual and physical story of Moses begins, and continues through some eighty verses. It was used as a consolation for our prophet, and his disciples, who lived then under a great pressure and persecution of the pagan Arabs.

      Moses was travelling with his family and his flocks. It was very cold, and he tried to kindle a fire, but his flint failed. Then he saw a fire in far distant. He went towards the fire to get a brand, or to look for some guidance. When he went near the fire things were different! There was not a real fire as we know it. Instead; a tree was glowing with a brilliant red light! Then Moses heard a voice calling him from amid the glowing fire! The voice said:ِ

      ``O, Moses! I am your Lord! Then take off your sandals because you are in the sacred valley of Towä. And I have chosen you for the position of prophethood, and conveying My Message. Therefore, listen well to what you shall be inspired with.''

      Moses who was by now chosen for a great mission by Allah the Most High, had to do away with all the worldly interests and catering, a sample of which can be the shoes, which he had to take off as a mark of respect and piety.

      TOWÄ, is a valley below Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Message of God, and his religious Law. The first inspiration that Moses had to listen to carefully was:ِ

      ``Verily I am Allah, your Lord. There is no god except Me, so worship Me alone.'' First of all, he was to know God in Oneness, and to worship Him alone. The next instruction was not to forget his Lord, and to perform the prayer, so as to help remembering Him. The third phase of the inspiration was about the Dooms Day:ِ

      ``That the hour will come. I would like to hide it, in order to reward everyone according to his try and endeavour.''

      Therefore he had to be careful about Hour of Resurrection and Final Judgement of God. The exact time of the great incident is hidden from Man, though its happening is sure. And finally in receiving his commission, Moses was warned so as to hold fast to the light that had come to him, lest the unbelievers should bar him from it, causing him to perish. We all should know that the temptation of Satans, and that of our own fancies and caprices, is dangerous to our life and to our relations with God. It may bar us from the way of prosperity and lead us to ruin and destruction.
