With unswerving vision, with pure heart, and sanctified
spirit, consider attentively what God hath established as the testimony of
guidance for His people in His Book, [the Qur’an] which is recognized as
authentic by both the high and lowly. To this testimony we both, as well as all
the peoples of the world, must cling, that through its light we may know and
distinguish between truth and falsehood, guidance and error. Inasmuch as
Muhammad hath confined His testimonies to His Book and to His Family, and
whereas the latter hath passed away, there remaineth His Book only as His one
testimony amongst the people.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
