The western place is the location that lies in the western part, and it is the place where the appointed time of Musa (Moses) may peace be upon him occurred from the mountain, and Allah wrote for him in the tablets. And the determined matter to Musa (Moses) may peace be upon him is the revelation that was revealed to him. And the address to the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him, says: And you were not present at the place where We revealed to Musa (Moses) may peace be upon him, nor were you among those who witnessed the revelation to him, or upon the revelation to him, which were his chosen representatives for the appointed time, so that you may observe from the perspective of witnessing what transpired regarding Musa (Moses) may peace be upon him at his appointed time. And the writing of the Torah for him in the tablets, and other than that.
