O Jalíl! [1] Admonish men to fear God. By God! This fear is
the chief commander of the army of thy Lord. Its hosts are a praiseworthy
character and goodly deeds. Through it have the cities of men’s hearts been
opened throughout the ages and centuries, and the standards of ascendancy and
triumph raised above all other standards.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah
revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
[1] Jalil-i-Khu'i, a coppersmith who lived in the province
of Adhirbayjan and was a well-known believer. It was revealed in answer to his
questions, particularly those on the subject of supreme infallibility. (Adib
Taherzadeh, ‘The Revelation of Baha'u'llah vol. 4’)
