Among them also were those who inquired of the darkness
about the light. Say: Open thine eyes, that thou mayest behold the
brightness which hath visibly enveloped the earth! This, verily, is a light which hath risen and
shone forth above the horizon of the Dayspring of divine knowledge with manifest
radiance. Would ye ask the Jews whether
Jesus was the True One from God, or the idols if Muhammad was an Apostle of His
Lord, or inquire from the people of the Qur’án as to Him Who was the
Remembrance of God, the Most Exalted, the Most Great?
(Baha'u'llah, ‘Suriy-i-Haykal,
‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
