A comparative study of how God spoke to Prophet Moses (pbuh) In Sunni and Shiite interpretations, Emphasizing verse 30 of Surah Al-Qasas

The interpretation of the verses in which the word of God is spoken is one of the unresolved differences that has always existed among the commentators. One of the verses that refer to the word of God and the commentators have offered different views in interpreting it based on their beliefs and opinions, is verse 30 of Surah Al-Qasas. This verse refers to how God Almighty spoke to Prophet Moses (pbuh). Shiite and Sunni commentators have expressed different views on this verse, which can be divided into five categories: 1- God spoke to Moses with His voice. 2- God spoke to Moses with the Speech of nafsi which is without letters and sounds. 3- God spoke to Prophet Moses (pbuh) by creating sounds in a tree. 4- God spoke to Moses (pbuh) by appearing in a tree. 5- God spoke to Moses through revelation and through the angel of revelation. In the present article, all perspectives were reviewed and evaluated in a descriptive-analytical method with a critical orientation and it was concluded that only the fifth view - due to the compatibility with the various aspects of the syntax mentioned for the verse as well as the compatibility with other verses of the Qur'an - is the correct interpretation
