Ilham
Inspiration cast into the heart by God, distinct from the prophetic revelation of wahy.
Literally: inspiration; God-given prompting
Inspiration — a knowledge or prompting cast by God into the heart, distinguished from wahy (prophetic revelation), which is reserved to the prophets. It belongs with kashf among the intuitive sources of spiritual knowledge. Iqbal takes inner religious experience seriously as a way of knowing, while upholding the finality of prophetic revelation and the need to test inspired knowledge against reason and life.
