Say: This is the Dawn [Birth of Baha’u’llah’] whereat the
evil ones were debarred from approaching the realm of might and grandeur, and
wherein the hearts of such as have contended with God, the Almighty, the
All-Glorious, the Unconstrained, were lacerated. This is the Dawn whereat the
faces of the wicked were darkened, whilst the countenances of the righteous
shone forth with the light of this Beauty, a Beauty Whose advent all things
visible and invisible, and beyond them the company of the Concourse on high,
have eagerly awaited. All hail the appearance of this Spirit, through Whose
potency the dead have been stirred up in their tombs and every mouldering bone
brought to life!
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
