“This is the Day which past ages and centuries can never
rival. Know this, and be not of the ignorant.” “This is the Day whereon human
ears have been privileged to hear what He Who conversed with God [Moses] heard
upon Sinai, what He Who is the Friend of God [Muḥammad] heard when lifted up
towards Him, what He Who is the Spirit of God [Jesus] heard as He ascended unto
Him, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.” “This Day is God’s Day, and this
Cause His Cause. Happy is he who hath renounced this world, and clung to Him
Who is the Dayspring of God’s Revelation.” “This is the King of Days, the Day
that hath seen the coming of the Best Beloved, He Who through all eternity hath
been acclaimed the Desire of the World.”
- Baha’u’llah (Excerpts quoted by
Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’)
