Why would God limit itself with with a final book and a final messenger?

Consider this fascinating paradox: During the periods when divine books and prophets came in succession (like from Moses to Jesus to Muhammad), human civilization was relatively stable. The basic structure of society, technology, and human challenges remained largely similar across centuries. Yet even in this period of relative stability, divine guidance was repeatedly updated and renewed through new messengers and revelations.

Now let's contrast this with our modern era:
In just the last 200 years, humanity has experienced unprecedented changes:

We've moved from horse-drawn carriages to space travel
From handwritten letters to instant global communication
From simple tools to artificial intelligence
From local communities to a globally interconnected world
From basic medicine to genetic engineering
From traditional family structures to radically different social arrangements
From simple economic systems to complex global finance

The rate and magnitude of change in human society today far exceeds anything seen in the previous 1400 years. We face entirely new moral and ethical challenges that couldn't have been imagined in the 7th century: genetic modification, artificial intelligence, digital privacy, environmental crisis, nuclear weapons, space colonization, and so much more.

This raises an intriguing question: If divine guidance needed regular updates during humanity's most stable period, wouldn't it be even more crucial now, when we're experiencing the most dramatic transformations in human history? How do we reconcile the concept of a final revelation with the exponential pace of change and unprecedented challenges of our modern world?
This isn't just about new rules for new situations - it's about fundamental questions of human existence and divine guidance in an era where the very nature of human experience and consciousness might be transformed by technology and social change. 

Indeed in that are signs for those who discern.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe God wants you to challenge even Him? Not just blindly follow what came before you—things you can't verify with crystal clarity, like so-called "clear revelations." You've got a choice here: either surrender to what you read in these books, dig a hole, and bury all your thoughts while your mind screams for answers, comforting your soul by saying, "God works in miraculous ways," until one day your brain just stops functioning like it should and surrenders fully, just like your soul.

Or—you pull yourself together with all the courage and sincerity you've got, call God out for His actions, expose what's wrong, and don't let some repeating words or meditations turn your brain into a sponge, ready to soak up any nonsense disguised as divine authority.

Maybe God is more honored to see His creation challenging Him. After all, didn't He say in 8:22:
"Indeed, the worst of all beings in the sight of Allah are the ˹wilfully˺ deaf and dumb, who do not understand"?

So, your exit ticket to freedom and happiness is this: willfully, honestly, and sincerely challenge what you accept as true. Stop attributing everything to some hocus pocus, spiritual dogmas, and divine word salad. Don't turn yourself into a slave and then feel proud that you used your brain to become a slave—like that somehow makes you different? Phew.

Challenge everything. If God exists, He doesn't want bots surrendering their will and mind—things He keeps pointing out are so important, the very things that make us human. So, why not think outside the box? Reach beyond.
