Every time God the True One—exalted be His glory—revealed
Himself in the person of His Manifestation, He came unto men with the standard
of “He doeth what He willeth, and ordaineth what He pleaseth.” None hath the
right to ask why or wherefore, and he that doth so, hath indeed turned aside
from God, the Lord of Lords. In the days of every Manifestation these things
appear and are evident. Likewise, they have said that about this Wronged One,
to the falsity of which they who are nigh unto God and are devoted to Him have
borne, and still bear, witness. By the righteousness of God! This Hem of His
Robe hath ever been and remaineth unsullied, though many have, at the present
time, purposed to besmirch it with their lying and unseemly calumnies.
(Baha’u’llah,
‘Epistle to the Son of the Wolf’)
