It is to them. I just do it differently and thus to them, I am not enlighted. That is subjective as far as I can tell.

I always thought of you as pretty enlightened.
Enlightened simply mean getting to the point that you can think for yourself.

Don't need a divine messenger to do your thinking for you or some philosophy professor.

Well, yes. I know. But here is the joke about that for rational. On a forum of above average intelligence for the members, I were both in the runner ups for both the most rational and irrational person on the forum.
Those categories are in the eye of the beholder.
So if I am to play that game then I am somewhat enlightened to the point, that on a good day, I know if lucky when I am not enlightened. :D

G-d is the light of the Heavens (Universe/s) and Earth, the Messengers and Prophets of G-d (like Zoroaster, Buddha, Moses, Confucius, Socrates, Jesus and Muhammad) who received direct Converse of G-d are therefore Enlightened, persons, right?

Wow, I was unaware that Muslims thought Confucius was a prophet. Learned something new.

How do you explain that they all disagreed with each other?

35:25
اِنَّاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنٰکَ بِالۡحَقِّ بَشِیۡرًا وَّنَذِیۡرًا ؕ وَاِنۡ مِّنۡ اُمَّۃٍ اِلَّا خَلَا فِیۡہَا نَذِیۡرٌ ﴿۲۵
Verily, We have sent thee with the truth, as a bearer of glad tidings and as a Warner; and there is no people to whom a Warner has not been sent.
Original Arabic narration/text from Muhammad's time together with its English translation rendered by Maulawi Sher Ali, is given above ^.
Right?
