spiritual revelation
Sacred truth unveiled
Spiritual revelation is insight or truth believed to come from a divine or transcendent source rather than ordinary reasoning.
Religious traditions often trace their foundational teachings to revelations received by prophets or mystics: Moses receiving the commandments, Muhammad's revelations that became the Quran.
The term also applies to personal experiences of sudden spiritual clarity: She described her conversion as a revelation.
