What is the ruling on naming things or certain tasks a "prophecy"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
In Arabic, "nubuwwah" (prophecy) means a divine commission chosen by Allah to convey His message to people. It also means conjecture and estimation. Therefore, there is no impediment to using the word "nubuwwah" to indicate the realization of what a person has conjectured and the truthfulness of their intuition and assumption.
