The answer

It must be clarified that the attributes of Allah do not resemble the attributes of creation, for there is nothing like unto Him, and He possesses power over that which humans cannot. Nuzool (descent) and Tajalli (manifestation) are two different attributes of Allah. Tajalli is the appearance to sight, as happened to the mountain, while Nuzool is to the lowest heaven in the last third of the night, in a manner befitting His majesty, without resembling the descent of creation, and without being encompassed by illusion or human comprehension.
