How does Allah communicate to the Prophets? Does he communicate through means other than by revealing verses of a holy book?
Or is it possible for Him to communicate in other ways?
I guess my question could be even more specific. Could God reveal aspects of the unseen to a prophet that was not revealed in a holy book to him?
I have been trying to understand what it means to only take the Quran as sole religious guidance, but I am having trouble in this situation.
Let us say we all live in the time of Messenger (peace be upon him). He for some unknown reason orders us to dig a ditch.
As everyone knows the Quran does not order us to "dig a ditch."
Can a situation like this happen? (where the Prophet being a human living and interacting with us give an order to us that is not in the Quran?)
What would you do?
What are we religously obligated to do in this situation?
