Revelation is about Humility

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Shaykh Muhammad Nazhim Adil al-Haqqani (q.s.) wrote, in “Mercy Oceans”, that Shaykh ‘Abdullah al-Fa‘iz ad-Daghistani (q.s.) said, “Allah (s.w.t.) Sent 124,000 prophets, and with them, scripture; and after them, awliya’ and thuruq.  Why so?  This is to teach people to say, ‘There is no god but Allah’, and to be humble servants to their Lord.  As every religion states, no apostle ever called people to himself. 

If you see yourself growing in pride, you are on the wrong path.  If you see yourself becoming humble, you are benefiting from religion.  With humility, we may tolerate every person, and not quarrel.  It involves perceiving everyone as better than yourself, inculcating love and respect for everyone.  It is a desirable thing.  The prophets put seeds of respect and love in our hearts.  This spread of humility alleviates suffering in the world.  It is Paradise here when we love one another.”
