The Cause of God, all deeds and words, are held within the
grasp of His power. “All things lie imprisoned within the hollow of His mighty
Hand; all things are easy and possible unto Him.” He accomplisheth whatsoever
He willeth, and doeth all that He desireth. “Whoso sayeth ‘why’ or ‘wherefore’
hath spoken blasphemy!” Were these people to shake off the slumber of
negligence and realize that which their hands have wrought, they would surely
perish, and would of their own accord cast themselves into fire—their end and
real abode. Have they not heard that which He hath revealed: “He shall not be
asked of His doings?” [Qur’án 21:23] In the light of these utterances, how can
man be so bold as to question Him, and busy himself with idle sayings?
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
