ABSTRACT
Divine Revelation in the form of Al-Qur’an and Hadith is the main guide of life for believers. The life guide has a very important role for humans, in addition to directing the inner life and aqliyah as well as a guide in amaliah. Revelation has many meanings, namely as the natural ability of animals (instinct)to protect themselves from unfavorable environments, the inspiration (ilham) that someone receives to do something in a critical and emergency situation so that he can be saved, Allah orders angels to help the believers, revelation which means revelation itself as a guide for life, and is also used for Satan in seducing humans. In the perspective of Al Qur’an and Hadith, Revelation means Islamic Risalah that was sent down by Allah through Rasulullah SAW, as a guide for life. This revelation has proven to have a high truth, which cannot be doubted by all humans, and even its existence has been revealed in the previous holy books or Scriptures. Revelation was revealed by Allah to Prophet Muhammad SAW who was trustworthy, justified, did not distort, and delivered all the messages that had to be delivered. Therefore, the Divine Revelation that humans receive is guaranteed to be the same as what the Sender of the Message, Allah the Creator, wanted.

INTRODUCTION
The discussion and analysis of “revelation” or al-Wahyu relating to the notion of revelation as a guide to human life never stops from the surface of the work of Islamic thinkers, and is very dynamic from time to time. This dynamic occurs in line with the human need for the existence of correct instructions that provide guidance for human life so that they can lead a life in accordance with the fitrah of human beings born on this earth, which isto be servants of Allah SWT both individually and as a social person living in the midst of society .
The word “revelation” has a meaning, for example, as “inspiration” that Allah gives to someone (QS 28: 7), the instinctual ability that Allah gives to animals in order to live comfortably in their environment (QS 16:68), give a signal from someone to another at the command of Allah SWT (QS 19:11), an order given to the angels to be passed on to the messengers of Allah so that they can be used as a guide for human life as a whole so that they can live safely in the world and the hereafter (QS 8:12), and the invitation or whisper of satan not to obey Allah’s commands (QS 6: 121). From several verses of the Qur’an, there are two groups of different implicit meanings, namely on the one hand “revelation” means an invitation or gesture to carry out Allah’s commands, and the other side is an invitation or whisper that arises from one’s own will or personal desire which can lead to getting lost or harmed.
