Salaam,
And it is not revealed to any mortal that Allah should speak to him except in three forms as by Wahi or inspiration, as was with the mother of Musa, 28:7, and the disciples of Isa, 5:111, or from behind a veil making the words heard or a vision like fire seen by Musa, 20:10, and the miraj of Muhammad, or He sends a messenger who then reveals with His command what He pleases. as He sends Jibril to the nabis, or a malak to the non-nabis like Maryam.
Quran is called a Wahi. I want to point out a difference between the wahi's received by nabis and the non-nabis and the wahis to prompt an action. If you want to say inspiration for Quran, then call all the other incidents revelation. That is the point I tried to make but looks like I have been unsuccessful.
