…in reality it [the Qur’an] hath been interpreted in
numerous ways and translated into countless languages. That which men have been
unable to grasp are its hidden mysteries and inner meanings. And all that they
have said or will say is limited in scope and should be seen as commensurate
with their rank and station. For none can fathom its true meaning save God, the
One, the Incomparable, the All-Knowing.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Tabernacle of
Unity’)
