In truth I [God] have created Thee [the Báb] through Thyself, then
at My Own behest I have fashioned all things through the creative power of Thy
Word. We are All-Powerful. I have appointed Thee to be the Beginning and the
End, the Seen and the Hidden. Verily We are the All-Knowing.
No
one hath been or will ever be invested with prophethood other than Thee, nor
hath any sacred Book been or will be revealed unto any one except Thee. Such is
the decree ordained by Him Who is the All-Encompassing, the Best Beloved.
- The Báb (‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb’)
