We have been informed that thou hast forbidden the trading in
slaves, both men and women. This, verily, is what God hath enjoined in this
wondrous Revelation. God hath, truly,
destined a reward for thee, because of this. He, verily, will pay the doer of
good his due recompense, wert thou to follow what hath been sent unto thee by
Him Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Informed.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to Queen
Victoria, Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of
Hosts’)
