Abstract

The Qur'an is a fundamental source used by scholars to compile mystical books. The authors of the Sufi works have used the words, expressions and verses of the Qur'an or the stories of this valuable source directly or indirectly in accordance with their subject matter and in order to clarify some issues for the audience. Mostamali Bukhari, in his commentary on the book Al-Ta'rof for the Sufi religion, has used the story of the Prophet Moses and the corresponding Qur'anic verses to explain mystical, religious and sometimes theological issues.
The aim of this research is to realize the complementary approach to the story of the Prophet Moses to express the topics of the book Sharh al-Tarif. The findings indicate a two-pronged approach to this story. In the first one, when God is manifested on the mountain, the Prophet Moses is a symbol of a seeker who has reached the perishing of attributes and conducts. He is as a seeker who is drunk and lost in ecstasy. Dominance, segregation and division have passed for him. This approach presents the entanglement of the story of Moses in the explanation of mystical issues. In the second approach, the story of Moses becomes an example to explain issues related to the law. In this continuous approach, the author introduces Moses as a prophet who is in a lower rank than the Prophet Mohammad in matters such as miracles, ummah, words with God, and closeness.
