Announce unto My servants the advent of the One Who came
unto them with the power of truth bearing the name of ‘Alí, [the Báb] Who
dawned above the horizon of holiness with the splendours of a cherished glory,
and from Whose right hand flowed the crystal streams of the spirit, laying bare
the wonders of a hidden knowledge.
“O people!” He declared, “The clouds of wisdom have been
lifted and God hath revealed His Cause. This is that which ye were promised in
all the Scriptures. Fear ye God and hasten unto Me. I am, O people, a scion of
your Prophet. I have brought unto you verses that bewilder the minds of them
that perceive, and this is but a token of God’s proof and testimony. Deny them
not at the prompting of your idle fancies, and be fair in your judgement. They
verily proceed from the religion of God that hath been sent down unto you
through the power of truth, would that ye might believe!
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days of
Remembrance’)
