Revelation is understood as a divine manifestation that grants spiritual experience, unity, new recognition, and rebirth. This study compares the writings of Ruzbihan Baqli and Hildegard of Bingen, analyzing their conceptions of revelation from three angles: the manifestation of the sacred, the human role, and revelation's purpose. Using a comparative method based on essentialism and structuralism, the findings show that Ruzbihan seeks mystical experience from God and actively participates in revelation with God, whereas Hildegard gains knowledge of divine mystery and, as a third person, narrates it to the Christian community.
A comparative analysis of the mystical-apocalyptical writings of Mechthild of Magdeburg (The Flowing Light of the Godhead) and Ruzbihan Baqli (Kashf al-Asrar va Mukashefat al-Anwar) reveals concordant directions despite differences rooted in their Christian and Islamic traditions. Both works center on direct human encounter with God, expressed through love, enthusiasm, unity, light, and wonder. Key comparable themes include inexpressibility of revelation, God's grace as a starting point, love and spiritual marriage, wine and butler imagery, divine music, and the mystic's wonder and humility. The article argues that in both traditions, the mystical journey leads to union or unity with God, though the self is never fully annihilated.
