waḥy

Waḥy (also waḥi, , ; : , ) is the Arabic word for revelation. In Islamic belief, revelations are God's word delivered by his chosen individuals – known as messenger prophets – to mankind.

==Quran== In Islam, the Quran is considered a revelation given to the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. The word awha ( '') occurs in a number of shades of meaning, each of them indicating the main underlying idea of directing or guiding someone or something. "...and inspired in each heaven its command" (Quran 41:12 – Sahih International). "And your lord inspired to the bee" (16:68). "And we inspired to the mother of Moses" (28:7). Islamic scholars say that there is a clear difference between these kinds of wahy and wahy to the Messenger Prophet. The prophets were very much conscious about revelations and they firmly believed that the revelations were true and came from the Almighty God. The word wahy (revelation) is derived from awha.
