what do you consider as revelation ?
The books that preach and talk about One God, and give us more insight on how to live our life purely are likely to be revelations and I accept them.
In fact, I don't care about the differences between all of these books because most of the time, the differences are in subtle things that have little to no impact on a person. What I care about is the converging point; What I recognize as being the truth. And there is a great deal of it in these books.
Matter of fact, not only books, but also humans, people speaking the truth are worth listening to. (and we have many examples in the Quran). and for some reason, those who aggressively follow a certain book, refuse to listen to other people, even if they speak wisdom that they could benefit from, and that is already a negative thing.
I don't know but is anyone else able to see the Truth and tell himself: this is what I need in my life ? Quiet frankly, I've got to a point where I see clearer and I can see the real challenges that stand in my way to becoming more of my true self. Because for some reason, I now have a vision of my true self. How I can be.
Before, I used to blindly hold onto the book that I inherited yet I kept falling into the very same rabbitholes every time because I thought that the book had a little bit of magic in it, if I read it frequently, I'd get cleaner and purer. But it is not true, at least for me, it has to come from the inside now. No more influence from the outside since I know what I need to do. I believe everything depends on myself now and the books fullfilled a great deal of their job at delivering their (greater) message. The true challenge is what I see now, I believe.
I also used to pray God to somehow do the job for me. And I kept failling at times of trial because I expected everything from God while I had little intention to do the sacrifice and do the right thing.
Bonus: the holliness of a book, in some sectarian countries goes so deep that they read a chapter of the Quran (e.g The Cow) on a bottle of water, drink it, or shower with it and expect the cure from God. And this, this is true devotion, if taking a book as holy is the criteria...like many think.
