S. stated: \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“It is easy to create a solid concept of revelation. It is a communication and relation between God and selected Messengers to convey the truth to the people. Such kind of communication entails the knowledge of its source, accompanied by specific features and characteristics of the selected Messengers and later followed by guidance proclaimed by the Messenger to the people around him.”  [5]\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Also, most biblical sources do not differentiate between revelation and inspiration, considering both of them as God’s word. As a result, they attribute the four gospels; Mark, Mathew, Luke and John, which were inspired to unknown apostles as the “Word of God.” \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Conversely, Islamic resources give a specific and detailed account of each type of revelation, differentiating precisely between the revelation of the Qur’an, God’s exact word, and all other kinds of revelation to the same prophet — Muhammed (peace be upon him). \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>____________________\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>1.
