The Blessed Valley
فَلَمَّآ أَتَىٰهَا نُودِيَ مِن شَٰطِيِٕ ٱلۡوَادِ ٱلۡأَيۡمَنِ فِي ٱلۡبُقۡعَةِ ٱلۡمُبَٰرَكَةِ مِنَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ أَن يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنِّيٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٣٠
And when he reached it, he was called from the right side of the valley in the blessed field, from the tree: O Moses! Lo! I, even I, am Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
He was called from the right side of the valley in the blessed spot, from the tree: “O Moses, I am Allah, Lord of the worlds.”
Insight
Elmalılı explains “ayman” as both the right side and the most blessed side.
Reflect
Have a place where you listen for Allah’s call.
