O people of the earth! Verily the resplendent Light of God
hath appeared in your midst, invested with this unerring Book, that ye may be
guided aright to the ways of peace and, by the leave of God, step out of the
darkness into the light and onto this far-extended Path of Truth [Qur’án
5:15–18]... (The Báb, excerpts from the Qayyumu’l-Asma,
