FRIDAY NOTES FROM THE QURAN (3/5/2024) - WAHYU / WAHIY

Non Muslims can skip this. It will be too technical. 

I posted the last Friday Notes From The Quran in October 2023. Six months ago. I will try to be more regular on Fridays.

Here are some references to the word WAHYU / WAHIY and its derivatives that are mentioned in the Quran. Wahyu / wahiy are generally understood to refer to revelation from Allah or inspiration from Allah.

But do note the following verses from the Quran which mention WAHYU / WAHIY or its derivatives.

1. Zakaria communicated to people by WAHYU.

Surah 19:11  So Zakariya came out to his people from his chamber: He then signalled (AUHA) them  (فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَيۡهِمۡ)   to celebrate Allah's praises in the morning and in the evening

2. Satanic people WAHYU fancy words to each other to deceive 

Surah 6:112  Likewise did We make for every Messenger an enemy,- satans  among men and jinns, who WAHYU each other with flowery discourses by way of deception. If thy Lord had so planned, they would not have done it: so leave them and their inventions alone.

3. The mother of Moses received WAHYU 

Surah 20:38 Behold! We sent to thy mother, by WAHYU, the message
Surah 28:7 So We sent the WAHYU to the mother of Moses

4. The bees were taught by WAHYU

Surah 16:68   And thy Lord WAHYU the Bee to build its hive in hills, on trees, and in (men's) habitations

5. The skies (heavens) received WAHYU 

Surah 41:12   So He completed them as seven firmaments in two Days, and He WAHYU to each heaven its duty and command. And We adorned the lower heaven with lights, and (provided it) with guards. Such is the Decree of (Him) the Exalted in Might, Full of Knowledge

6. Satan WAHYU people to do wrong

Surah 6:121  Eat not on which Allah's name hath not been pronounced: That would be impiety. But the satan WAHYU their friends to contend with you, if ye were to obey them, ye would indeed be Pagans

7. The Quran was a WAHYU

Surah 12:3   We do relate unto thee the most beautiful of stories, in that We WAHYU to thee this Qur'an: before this, thou too was among those who knew it not.

8. The earth was given WAHYU 

Surah 99:2 And the earth throws up her burdens
Surah 99:5   For that thy Lord will have given her WAHYU

So these are some references from the Quran where the word WAHYU / WAHIY and its grammatical derivatives are found. Please check them out for yourselves.
