It seems like something very different is being claimed by Bahais though. I don't think I've ever heard a Muslim call Muhammad the Revealor. God was the source of the revelation, it was conveyed by Gabriel, and given to Muhammad. (Saaws) Muhammad was more a passive recipient in the process. That is part of where the doctrine of illiteracy (ummi) really plays a role. Just as Mary is said to have conceived Christ in a way different from the way other men were conceived. The Quran was also "conceived" in a way different from how other books were conceived. But I've had the impression that Bahais seem to be thinking that in some sense the Quran comes *from* Muhammad himself.
