O my friend, were the bird of thy mind to explore the
heavens of the Revelation of the Qur’án, were it to contemplate the realm of
divine knowledge unfolded therein, thou wouldst assuredly find unnumbered doors
of knowledge set open before thee. Thou wouldst certainly recognize that all
these things which have in this day hindered this people from attaining the
shores of the ocean of eternal grace, the same things in the Muhammadan Dispensation prevented the people of that age from
recognizing that divine Luminary, and from testifying to His truth. Thou wilt
also apprehend the mysteries of “return” and “revelation,” and wilt securely
abide within the loftiest chambers of certitude and assurance.
- Baha’u’llah ('The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
