إن الله تعالى خلق شجرة ولها أربعة أغصان فسماها شجرة اليقين

ثم خلق نور محمد في حجاب من درة بيضاء

مثله كمثل الطاووس و وضعه على تلك الشجرة فسبح عليها مقدار سبعين ألف سنة

ثم خلق مرآة الحياء و وضعها باستقباله

فلما نظر الطاووس فيها رأى صورته أحسن صورة و أزين هيئة

فاستحى من الله فسجد خمس مرات فصارت علينا تلك السجدات فرضا مؤقتا

فأمر الله تعالى بخمس صلوات على النبي و أمته

A: The light was too luminous and most people would not be able to see his light and therefore he could not have had biological manifestation on this planet.

Or his light was too pure and the veil protected it from mixing with impurities of other entities in the creation.
