Surah 7 Al-A'raf, Ayat 143-143
وَلَمَّا جَآءَ مُوۡسٰى لِمِيۡقَاتِنَا وَكَلَّمَهٗ رَبُّهٗ ۙ قَالَ رَبِّ اَرِنِىۡۤ اَنۡظُرۡ اِلَيۡكَ ؕ قَالَ لَنۡ تَرٰٮنِىۡ وَلٰـكِنِ انْظُرۡ اِلَى الۡجَـبَلِ فَاِنِ اسۡتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهٗ فَسَوۡفَ تَرٰٮنِىۡ ۚ فَلَمَّا تَجَلّٰى رَبُّهٗ لِلۡجَبَلِ جَعَلَهٗ دَكًّا وَّخَرَّ مُوۡسٰى صَعِقًا ۚ فَلَمَّاۤ اَفَاقَ قَالَ سُبۡحٰنَكَ تُبۡتُ اِلَيۡكَ وَاَنَا اَوَّلُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ
﴿7:143﴾
(7:143) And when Moses came at Our appointment, and his Lord spoke to him,
he said: 'O my Lord! Reveal Yourself to me, that I may look upon You!' He replied:
'Never can you see Me. However, behold this mount; if it remains firm in its
place, only then you will be able to see Me.' And as soon as his Lord unveiled
His glory to the mount, He crushed it into fine dust, and Moses fell down in
a swoon. And when he recovered, he said: 'Glory be to You! To You I turn in
repentance, and I am the foremost among those who believe.'
