O peoples of the earth! Verily His Remembrance is come to
you from God after an interval during which there were no Messengers, [cf.
Qur’án 5:22] that He may purge and purify you from uncleanliness in
anticipation of the Day of the One true God; therefore seek ye wholeheartedly
divine blessings from Him, inasmuch as We have, in truth, chosen Him to be the
Witness and the Source of wisdom unto all that dwell on earth... (The Báb,
excerpts from the Qayyumu’l-Asma, ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)
