The issue with the concepts of enlightenment found in other religions is that they present themselves as an absolute end. Can one fall from enlightenment? In Islam, it all depends on the state one dies in - all the enlightenment in the world is useless if one dies in a state unbecoming of a mu'min, regardless of whether he had episodes of epiphanies and enlightenment throughout his life.
