Commentary 40:15 The word Rûhرُوحis used in the Holy Qur’ân mostly in the sense of Divine Revelation and Mercy (cf. 16:2; 32:9; 38:72; 42:52; 16:102; 2:253; 2:87; 5:110;…
رَفِيعُ الدَّرَجَاتِ ذُو الْعَرْشِ يُلْقِي الرُّوحَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ لِيُنذِرَ يَوْمَ التَّلَاقِ
40:15 The word Rûhرُوحis used in the Holy Qur’ân mostly in the sense of Divine Revelation and Mercy (cf. 16:2; 32:9; 38:72; 42:52; 16:102; 2:253; 2:87; 5:110; 58:22; 26:193; 4:171). The statement يُلْقِي الرُّوحَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ - “He sends His revelation by His own command to such of His servants as He will”, shows that the blessings of Divine Revelation are not limited to the Prophets alone. Allâh also chooses His servants as He wills, and no pious or righteous person can lay claim on any particular blessing.
