The word: cjJ (rub: spirit) as used in this verse, according to
Sayyidna ibn 'Abbas &, means Wahy (revelation); and according to
some commentators, it means Hidayah (guidance). (Al-Bahr Al-Mublt)

the same belief has been proved rationally by turning the focus on the
blessings of Allah Ta'aila as it follows next in verses 3-8.
Verses 3 - 8
He created the heavens and the earth in the proper way.
He is much higher than what they ascribe to Him as
partners. [31 He created man from a drop, and soon he
turned into a quarrelsome person expressing himself

may ride on them and they may look good. And He
creates what you do not know (yet). [81
