Allah in a Burning Bush?

We have all heard of the famous Bible story where God appears to Moses
 in the form of a burning bush. (Exodus 3:2-6)
Muhammad's version of this story appears in the Quran as well.  "And when he came to it (the fire), he was called by name: 'O Musa (Moses)!  Verily. I am your Lord! So take off your shoes; you are in the sacred valley, Tuwa. And I have chosen you. So listen to that which will be revealed  (to you).  Verily, I am Allah! La ilaha illa Ana (none has the right to be worshiped but I), so worship Me, and perform As-Salat for My remembrance." (Surah 20:9-14)
 What is odd is that Muslims can believe that God (or Allah in their case) manifested in the form of a burning bush which demands to be worshiped, yet they claim God in no way would appear in human flesh, as in the case of Jesus, and demand to be worshiped.  The Quran clearly puts limitations on what God can do.

  3. Genesis 18 - https://answersingenesis.org/jesus-christ/incarnation/theophanies-in-the-old-testament/

    1And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 2And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 3And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: 4Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: 5And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. 6And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. 7And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. 8And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

  5. If all the biblical verses indicating theophanies and/or Christophanies# - even before and besides the Incarnation and the Passion of yhe LOGOS/Jesus Christ - were wrong and written without the approval of God YHWH, how is it that the Quran at first approved the Book of the "People of the Book" and Jesus Himself endorsed the TORAH, the "Law and the Prophets"? The God of Israel YHWH, who doesn't sleep nor slumber (Ps. 121: 4) - would he go for long 7-14 centuries leave/holidays, while His Word gets allegedly messy because heresy and conflict of interest of the People of the Book?
