Question
Is firaasat and ilhaam the same?
Answer
No, firaasat and Ilhaam are two different spiritual phenomena. Firaasat is a discerning intelligence. Such discernment is the effect of Taqwa. Firaasat is the immediate apprehension and understanding of something without the need of mental application. It is a deep, spiritual insight.
Ilhaam is information inspired into the heart of a being. The incidence of ilhaam has different sources. It may be from Allah Ta'ala or from an Angel or from shaitaan. There is no absolute certitude in Ilhaam. Even a faasiq and a kaafir could be repositories of ilhaam.
