Peruse thou the Kitáb-i-Íqán (Book of Certitude) and that
which the All-Merciful hath sent down unto the King of Paris (Napoleon III) and
to such as are like him, that thou mayest be made aware of the things that have
happened in the past, and be persuaded that We have not sought to spread
disorder in the land after it had been well-ordered. We exhort, wholly for the
sake of God, His servants. Let him who wisheth turn unto Him, and him who
wisheth turn aside. Our Lord, the Merciful, is verily the All-Sufficing, the
All-Praised.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle to Son of the Wolf’)
