Say: This is the Day of meritorious deeds, did ye but know
it. This is the Day of the glorification of God and of the exposition of His
Word, could ye but perceive it. Abandon the things current amongst men and hold
fast unto that which God, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting, hath enjoined
upon you. The day is fast approaching when all the treasures of the earth shall
be of no profit to you. Unto this beareth witness the Lord of Names, He Who
proclaimeth: Verily, no God is there besides Him, the Sovereign Truth, the
Knower of things unseen.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after
the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
