And likewise, He saith: “And had We sent down unto Thee a
Book written on parchment, and they had touched it with their hands, the
infidels would surely have said ‘This is naught but palpable sorcery.’” [Qur’án
6:7] Most of the verses of the Qur’án are indicative of this theme. We have,
for the sake of brevity, mentioned only these verses. Consider, hath anything
else besides the verses been established in the whole Book, as a standard for
the recognition of the Manifestations of His Beauty, that the people might
cling to, and reject the Manifestations of God? On the contrary, in every
instance, He hath threatened with fire those that repudiate and scoff at the
verses, as already shown.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
