Thou hast moreover asked Me concerning the ordinances of
God. Know thou of a truth that whatsoever hath been prescribed in the Book is
indeed the truth, no doubt is there about it, and it is incumbent upon everyone
to observe that which hath been sent down by Him Who is the Revealer, the
All-Knowing. Were a man to put them away despite his being aware thereof, God
would truly be clear of such a one and We too would be clear of him, inasmuch
as His ordinances constitute the fruits of the divine Tree and none other than
the heedless and the wayward will deviate therefrom.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of
Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
