38 Godhead, which of them is distinctive whom you have not yet revealed? Whatever you will declare to be the distinguishing feature that, too, will be an attribute of all the perfect attributes that should be found in the being that is called God. Now that that attribute is found in this being who has been declared to be God, then against this, to give some other name—for example, the Son of Allah or the Holy Spirit— becomes totally absurd and pointless. Because this is a very profound matter, you gentlemen should really ponder diligently over what I have just said, lest you ignore these mat- ters in your reply. God Almighty is that Being, who is the Possessor of all complete and perfect attributes, and does not need any help from any other being, nor in being Perfect, is He in need of any other. The similitude of Moses and the bush that Mr. Abdullah Atham presented in item 2 is irrelevant for this current argument. The aforenamed gentleman should kindly present proof from the Holy Quran showing where it is written that the fire itself was God or that the voice came from the fire. In fact, God Almighty clearly states in the Holy Quran that: — اَّمَلَف اَهَءٓاَج َيِدْوُن ْۢنَا َكِرْوُب ْنَم يِف ِراَّنلا َو ْنَم اَهَلْوَح َو َنٰحْبُس ِهّٰللا ِّبَر َنْيِمَلٰعْلا۰۰ 1 (S u rah an-Naml, Pt. 19, R. 16) Meaning that when Moses came, it was proclaimed [by a voice]: Blessed is he who is in the fire and also those around it, and Holy is Allah from having a body or from coiling up into Himself, and He is the Lord of all the worlds. Please notice that God clearly states in this verse that blessed is he who is in the fire, and those who are around it, and God Almighty called out to bestow this blessing upon them. From this, we learn that the thing that was in the fire was what received the blessings, not the one who gave the blessings. God uses the word َ نُوۡدِی [ n u diya —called out] to indicate that He Himself blessed the inside of the fire and its 1. S u rah an-Naml, 27:9 [Publisher]
