Say: O people! We, verily, summoned you, in Our former
Revelation, unto this Scene of transcendent glory, this Seat of stainless
sanctity, and announced unto you the advent of the Days of God. Yet, when the most great veil was rent
asunder, and the Ancient Beauty came unto you in the clouds of God’s decree, ye
repudiated Him in Whom ye had believed aforetime. Woe betide you, O company of infidels! Fear ye God, and nullify not the truth with
the things ye possess.
- Baha'u'llah (‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
