Remaining Part of (Quranic and non-Quranic WAHY) But this idea is totally wrong and ill-founded. We learn from several verses of the Holy Quran itself that Divine Revelation (WAHY from Allah) is not limited to the Quran alone, but there are many other things in addition to the Quran that have been taught through WAHY. In support of this a few verses of Quran are cited below. وما جعلنا القبلۀ التي کنت عليها الا لنعلم من يتبع الرسول ممن ينقلب علي عقبيه ۔۔۔۔۔ البقره And We appointed not the Qiblah which you (O Prophet) have had except in order that We might know who followed the Messenger from him who turned back on his heels.... (Chapter 2 verses 143) Every Muslim knows that for a considerable time in Madinah the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H), observed Salah facing towards Baytal-Maqdis (Jerusalem), and the above verse was revealed when it was ordained to face Kabah again. This verse states that the previous order to face Baytul-Maqdis was test to know who ovbeys the order and who rejects it. It is noteworthy that the order to face Baytul-Maqdis during worship has been attributed by Allah to Himself meaning thereby that He was the One Who had commanded His Messenger to the direction of Baytul-Maqdis. But the command itself is not found anywhere in the Quran. It is clear that this order was given by Allah through a WAHY that is not part of the Quran and which is not mentioned anywhere in the Quran. It is this sort of WAHY that is termed non-Quranic WAHY. فلما نبات به و اظهره الله عليه عرف بعضه و اعرض عن بعض Then she informed about it (to the other) and Allah disclosed that to him, he had made known (to her) a part of it and passed over a part....... (Chapter 66 verses 3) This verse refers to an incident that one of the wives of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) hoped to conceal a certain thing from him, Allah revealed it to him through WAHY. So, she asked him how he had come to know about it and he replied that it was the Knower and the One Ever informed who had revealed it to him. This verse clearly shows that the particular thing was revealed through WAHY although we dont find it in the Quran anywhere. Hence, he was informed of of it though non-Quranic WAHY but only two are mentioned here to avoid a lengthy discussion For the seeker of truth even two verses are more than sufficient to prove that non-Quranic WAHY too, is a kind of WAHY, as definite and as binding as Quranic WAHY. https://facebook/pages/Islam-and-Science/380551975424203
