… behold…how He hath sent down the Manifestation of His
Cause with verses which naught in the heavens or on the earth can
withstand! Such hath been the manner of
their revelation that they have neither peer nor likeness in the world of
being, as ye yourselves beheld and heard when once the Daystar of the world
shone forth above the horizon of ‘Iráq with manifest dominion. All things attain their consummation in the
divine verses, and these indeed are the verses of God, the Sovereign Lord, the
Help in Peril, the All-Glorious, the Almighty.
Beyond this, He hath been made manifest as the Bearer of a Cause whose
sovereign might is acknowledged by all created things, and this none can deny
save the sinners and the ungodly.
(Baha'u'llah, ‘Suriy-i-Haykal, ‘The Summons
of the Lord of Hosts’)
