These Tabernacles of holiness, these primal Mirrors which
reflect the light of unfading glory, are but expressions of Him Who is the
Invisible of the Invisibles. By the revelation of these gems of divine virtue
all the names and attributes of God, such as knowledge and power, sovereignty
and dominion, mercy and wisdom, glory, bounty and grace, are made manifest.
These attributes of God are not and have never been
vouchsafed specially unto certain Prophets, and withheld from others. Nay, all
the Prophets of God, His well-favoured, His holy, and chosen Messengers, are,
without exception, the bearers of His names, and the embodiments of His
attributes. They only differ in the intensity of their revelation, and the
comparative potency of their light.
-Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
