…it is already evident and known unto thee that those things to
which the Jews and the Christians have clung, and the cavilings which they
heaped upon the Beauty of Muhammad, the same have in this day been upheld by
the people of the Qur’án, and been witnessed in their denunciations of the
“Point of the Bayán”—may the souls of all that dwell within the kingdom of
divine Revelations be a sacrifice unto Him! Behold their folly: they utter the
self-same words, uttered by the Jews of old, and know it not! How well and true
are His words concerning them: “Leave them to entertain themselves with their
cavilings!” [Qur’án 6:91]“As Thou livest, O Muhammad! they are seized by the frenzy of
their vain fancies.” [Qur’án 15:72]
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
