Consider thou the Day of Resurrection. Were God to pronounce
the lowliest of creatures among the faithful to be the First One to believe in
the Bayán, thou shouldst have no misgivings about it and must be of them that
truly believe. In this station look not upon human limitations and names but
rather upon that whereby the rank of the First One to believe is vindicated,
which is faith in God, and recognition of His Being and assurance in the
fulfilment of His irresistible and binding command.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of
Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
