Set thine heart towards Him Who is the Point of adoration
for the world, and say: “O peoples of the earth! Have ye denied the One in
Whose path He Who came with the truth, bearing the announcement of your Lord,
the Exalted, the Great, suffered martyrdom?” Say: This is an Announcement
whereat the hearts of the Prophets and Messengers have rejoiced. This is the
One Whom the heart of the world remembereth, and is promised in the Books of
God, the Mighty, the All-Wise. The hands of the Messengers were, in their
desire to meet Me, upraised towards God, the Mighty, the Glorified. Unto this
testifieth that which hath been sent down in the sacred Scriptures by Him Who
is the Lord of might and power.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to Czar Alexander II,
Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
