Were these people, wholly for the sake of God and with no
desire but His good-pleasure, to ponder the verses of the Book [Qur’an] in
their heart, they would of a certainty find whatsoever they seek. In its verses
would they find revealed and manifest all the things, be they great or small,
that have come to pass in this Dispensation. They would even recognize in them
references unto the departure of the Manifestations of the names and attributes
of God from out their native land; to the opposition and disdainful arrogance
of government and people; and to the dwelling and establishment of the
Universal Manifestation in an appointed and specially designated land. No man,
however, can comprehend this except he who is possessed of an understanding
heart.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
