Be united, O kings of the earth, for thereby will the
tempest of discord be stilled amongst you, and your peoples find rest, if ye be
of them that comprehend. Should any one
among you take up arms against another, rise ye all against him, for this is
naught but manifest justice. Thus did We
exhort you in the Tablet sent down aforetime, [1] and We admonish you once
again to follow that which hath been revealed by Him Who is the Almighty, the
All-Wise. Should anyone seek refuge with
you, extend unto him your protection and betray him not. Thus doth the Pen of the Most High counsel
you, as bidden 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’)
