Sura 28
Aya 30
30
فَلَمّا أَتاها نودِيَ مِن شاطِئِ الوادِ الأَيمَنِ فِي البُقعَةِ المُبارَكَةِ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ أَن يا موسىٰ إِنّي أَنَا اللَّهُ رَبُّ العالَمينَ

Muhammad Asad

But when he came close to it, a call was sounded from the right-side bank of the valley, out of the tree [burning] on blessed ground:1 "O Moses! Verily, I am God, the Sustainer of all the worlds!"
  • As in 19:52 and 20:80, the reference to the "right" side has a connotation of "blessedness": see in this respect note 25 on 74:39. As regards the "blessed ground", see note 9 on the expression "twice-hallowed valley" in 20:12. The "tree" referred to in the above verse is obviously identical with the "burning bush" of the Bible (Exodus iii, 2).
