Abstract
Revelation holds a significant position in Islam, with the highest level being legislative revelation, which is exclusive to the Prophets. However, revelation at a lower level refers to blessed inspirations that God places in the hearts of some people and His righteous servants. Without a doubt, with the descent of the first type of revelation, fountains of knowledge and truths swiftly flow to the Prophets. Now, the question arises: Does the mention of revelation in the verse " When We inspired to your mother what We inspired, " (Taha: 38) indicate that a righteous woman can also communicate with God through non-legislative revelation (either mediated by angels or in some other manner)? This study, using a descriptive-analytical method, examines the view of both Sunni and Shia scholars regarding the type of revelation given to a woman and concludes that a woman’s gender should not diminish the value of the revelation to righteous women such as the mother of Moses (PBUH). Nor should it be lowered to a rank below the revelation given to an animal (like the bee), as some with Mu’tazilite theological biases have done. Careful reflection on the content of Quranic verses and related narrations shows that the term "revelation," meaning inspiration—whether placed in the heart or spoken by angels to specific individuals—is not exclusive to the Prophets. Only legislative revelation, in its technical sense, is exclusive to the Prophets.
