The Holy Qor-aan 007:144
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

And when Moses came for Our meeting
And his God talked to him, he said,
“God! Show Yourself to me. I want to look at you.”
He said, “You do not see Me. And
But look towards the mountain.
Then if it stayed at its place
Then soon after that you see Me.”
So when his God manifested His Glory
To the mountain, that turned it into shamble.
And Moses fell flat on his face.
And when he recovered he said,
“You are Holy. I turn repentant to You.
And I am the top first of the Believers.”
