When the time set for this Revelation was fulfilled, and He
Who is the Day Star of the world appeared in ‘Iráq, He bade His followers
observe that which would sanctify them from all earthly defilements. Some
preferred to follow the desires of a corrupt inclination, while others walked
in the way of righteousness and truth, and were rightly guided.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
