Avicenna can be included one of the few philosophers that he has studied difficult problem of Vahy (revelation in Islamic tradition) in his prophetic philosophy. Hi has several- sided view to the problem because of worries that he has in it. On this basis, he knows proviso of understanding of Vahy, attention to soul specially souls of prophets as a changeable and intensifying factor. He against Alfarabius, brings up the process of inspiration instead of union and so factor of sacred intellect in receiving universals of Vahy, consequently, his viewpoint is exonerated from some of the faults of Alfarabius’ viewpoint. The apogee of Avicenna’s art is observed in his explaining from particular concepts of Vahy. He has explained properly the problem of quality of prophet’s chastity in the process of receiving components of Vahy by explanation of intrinsic forces of soul.
