Basically, there are 3 kinds of revelation known in Islam. These are:
• Wahy: Divine Inspiration
• Kashf: Behind the veil
• Angelic: Angel Jibril (Archangel)
The Qur’an confirms the above three modes thus:
“It is not fitting for a man that God should speak to him except by inspiration, or from behind a veil, or by sending a messenger to reveal with God’s permission what God wills for He is Most High, Most Wise” (Q 42:51)
Meaning of Wahy
Wahy is from the Arabic word Waha and it occurs many times in the Qur’an, each of them indicating the main ideal of inspiration, direction, or guiding someone. Wahy also means intuition as contained in Qur’an 28:7- “so We sent inspiration to the mother of Moses”.
Wahy or divine inspirations given by Allah to Prophet Muhammad is explained in the Qur’an as a confirmation of the divine nature of his message.
