Quran 42:51: وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا وَحْيًا أَوْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ أَوْ يُرْسِلَ رَسُولًا فَيُوحِيَ بِإِذْنِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ إِنَّهُ عَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ
It is not fitting for any human being that God should speak to him except by revelation, from behind a veil, or by sending a messenger to reveal, by His permission, whatever He wills. Surely He is Most High, All-Wise.
In simple terms, divine speech is the mysterious impressions placed in the heart of the one addressed—what may be called revelation or inspiration.
All created things are open to divine inspiration: the earth and the heavens, and all that they contain.
Human beings, too, are open to particular inspirations.
Quran 91:8: فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
Then He inspired it with its wickedness and its piety.
Prophetic revelation was granted to the great prophets; none but they are worthy of receiving this kind of revelation.
Quranic revelation was exclusive to the sacred person of the Noble Prophet Muhammad al-Mustafa, peace and blessings be upon him and his family. No other messenger attained the station of receiving Quranic revelation.
The degree of divine inspiration granted to ordinary people varies according to their faith and piety. Yet no one’s inspiration reaches the degree of prophetic or saintly (wilāya) revelation, and for anyone other than the prophets and saints it carries no force as a religious proof. Inspirations of the lower self and of Satan are matters that may affect those who are not prophets. Distinguishing them from divine inspirations also affirms the standing and authority of the Quran and the Prophet’s Household. No inward prompting is binding as religious proof on anyone; its acceptance and endorsement require that it be verified against the Quran and sound narrations.
For those who are not prophets or saints, divinely guided inspiration may occur without their even realizing it. It is therefore not permissible to strain to identify such inspirations, since this risks leading a person astray and causing them to think too highly of themselves. Satan may use such people as instruments for founding deviant sects. By mistaking passing thoughts of the heart for revelation, they also risk introducing religious innovations.
