Consider: He hath declared knowledge to consist of twenty
and seven letters, and regarded all the prophets, from Adam even unto Muhammad,
the ‘seal,’ as expounders of only two letters thereof. He also saith that the
Qá’im will reveal all the remaining twenty and five letters. Behold from this
utterance how great and lofty is His station! His rank excelleth that of all
the prophets, and His revelation transcendeth the comprehension and understanding
of all their chosen ones. A revelation, of which the prophets of God, His
saints and chosen ones have either not been informed or which, in pursuance of
God’s inscrutable decree, they have not disclosed—such a revelation, these vile
and villainous people have sought to measure with their own deficient minds,
their own deficient learning and understanding. (Baha’u’llah, the Kitab-i-Iqan;
also quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The World Order of Baha’u’llah’)
