…in the Qur’án He saith: “Of what ask they of one another?
Of the Great Announcement.” This is the Announcement, the greatness of which
hath been mentioned in most of the Books of old and of more recent times. This
is the Announcement that hath caused the limbs of mankind to quake, except such
as God, the Protector, the Helper, the Succorer, hath willed to exempt. Men
have indeed with their own eyes witnessed how all men and all things have been
thrown into confusion and been sore perplexed, save those whom God hath chosen
to exempt.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
