In relation to the Glorious Qur’ān, Wahy means revelation. The term "wahy" refers to the divine communication or revelation that was given to the Prophet Muhammad by the angel Gabriel. This communication was then recorded and compiled into the Qur’ān. Wahy is considered to be a direct message from God to the Prophet Muhammad and is believed by Muslims to be the literal word of God. The Qur’ān is the central religious text of Islam and contains the revelations that were given to the Prophet Muhammad over a period of 23 years.
