O ‘Alí-Akbar! Consider how abject is the state of the
disbelievers. They all give utterance to the words: ‘Verily He is to be praised
in His deeds and is to be obeyed in His behest.’ Nevertheless if We reveal
aught which, even to the extent of a needle’s eye, runneth counter to their
selfish ways and desires, they will disdainfully reject it. Say, none can ever
fathom the manifold exigencies of God’s consummate wisdom. In truth, were He to
pronounce the earth to be heaven, no one hath the right to question His
authority. This is that whereunto the Point of the Bayán hath testified in all
that was sent down unto Him with truth at the behest of God, He Who hath caused
the Dawn to break.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
