Mirza Ghulam Ahmad divided this concept into five types, two of which were compared to drowning or being behind a curtain. Al-Wāḥidī wrote an early book in a field that analyzes reactionary forms of this concept called Asbab al-Nuzul. This concept, which al-Bukhārī claimed was accompanied by the continuous ringing of a bell, is accessible by purifying the heart in al-Ghazali’s (-5[1])interpretations of Sufi readings. The lexicographer Ibn Isḥāq (-5[1])(“iss-HOCK”) argued that this concept’s secret or private nature (10[1])meant that ’ilhām had the same meaning. Ash‘arite ethics places this concept over human reason, or ‘aql (“AH-kull”). The doctrine of ’i‘jāz supports the idea that this concept’s (-5[1])final occurrence was the Qur’an. (10[2])For 10 (10[2])points, (10[4])name (10[1]-5[1])these divine communications (10[1]-5[2])given by (10[1])angels, (-5[1])such as in the (10[1])Cave of Hira (-5[1])between Jibrīl and Muhammad.
