The signs and tokens of the Truth shine even as the midday
sun, and yet the people are wandering, aimlessly and perplexedly, in the
wilderness of ignorance and folly. Notwithstanding all the verses of the
Qur’án, and the recognized traditions, which are all indicative of a new Faith,
a new Law, and a new Revelation, this generation still waiteth in expectation
of beholding the promised One who should uphold the Law of the Muhammadan
Dispensation. The Jews and the Christians in like manner uphold the same contention.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
