He [the Báb] hath previously made known unto you that which
would be uttered by this Dayspring of Divine wisdom. He said, and He speaketh
the truth: “He [Baha’u’llah] is the One Who will under all conditions proclaim:
‘Verily, there is none other God besides Me, the One, the Incomparable, the
Omniscient, the All-Informed.’” This is a station which God hath assigned
exclusively to this sublime, this unique and wondrous Revelation. This is a
token of His bounteous favour, if ye be of them who comprehend, and a sign of
His irresistible decree. This is His Most Great Name, His Most Exalted Word,
and the Dayspring of His Most Excellent Titles, if ye could understand. Nay
more, through Him every Fountainhead, every Dawning-place of Divine guidance is
made manifest. Reflect, O people, on that which hath been sent down in truth;
ponder thereon, and be not of the transgressors.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
