O ye the loved ones and the trustees of God! Kings are the
manifestations of the power, and the daysprings of the might and riches, of
God. Pray ye on their behalf. He hath invested them with the rulership of the
earth and hath singled out the hearts of men as His Own domain.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Kitab-i-‘Ahd [Book of the Covenant]; ‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after
the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
