Verily no God is there but God; His is the kingdom of heaven
and earth and He is the Clement, the All-Knowing. God testifieth that there is
no God but Him, and He Who speaketh at the bidding of His Lord is but the First
to worship Him. He is the peerless Creator Who hath created the heavens and the
earth and whatsoever lieth between them, and all do His bidding. He is the One
Whose grace hath encompassed all that are in the heavens, on earth or
elsewhere, and everyone abideth by His behest.

Writings of the Báb’)
