Fatwa #40933 April 2002Malaysia

What is the possibility that God talks directly to us in the form of a voice in your head?Or Wali Allah?

Question

Thanks you. I'm wondering who is talking to me in my head every day and answering my questions. Thanks.

Answer

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'Fear the insight of a
believer as he sees with the light of Allah.'

If a person adheres to the laws of Allah Ta'ala, abstain from all forms of
sins and do righteous deeds, Allah inspires him. That inspiration is called
Ilhaam. There is a difference between Ilhaam of a pious person and
revelation of a prophet. Some people were led to a misconception that they
are recipients of Divine revelations and subsequently claimed to be a
prophet. That is an act of the Shaytaan. You should guard yourself against
that.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
